Yea but.. not every shinobi has access to 8 gates because it's a secret technique known only to 2 or so ninja. And all they have to do to obtain it is train. it doesn't require intellect or natural strength.

Besides, i don't see why the series has to be "fair", since it's been pretty much a point from the start that life's not fair. Hard work pays off, sure, but talent+ hard work beats hard work alone. And natural ability/power + hard work + talent is godlike.
