I doubt. Naruto eithe has TSB if we are talking about him fresh, which are more than enough to defend against and attack 8 Gates Gai. If we are talking later in the timeline, Naruto is significantly more powerful in every way, even if he doesnt have TSB. 8Gates Gai also needed his most powerful attack and only almost killed Madara, who was giddy about it. Madara also barely tried to fight back.

Naruto casually did to Madara the stuff Gai went all out to do. I dont believe Gai gives Naruto much trouble
