Also, say Sasuke managed to use it... Gai would just follow next to him and continues the pummeling. Amenotejikara has its limits, you know. No he would not Sasuke would still be able to cast a Genjutsu before Gai gets close to him Umm, speed that bends space? And since this is Sasuke during his fight against Ten-Tails Madara(when he JUST got his Rinnegan), Amenotejikara didn't had exactly long range. Gai's speed bending space feat is really cool, and very fast, but I think people see it and go "There can't be anything faster than that!" But sasuke also manages to blitz madara and get a (would be) killing blow on him without his teleportation, just because he didn't bend spacetime doesn't make it any less equal in comparison. And let's say gai is faster, it's not by much, and only in the eighth gate. He's not fast enough to blitz sasuke, and since he cant blitz him, sasuke would have enough time to do something, and anything sasuke can do is not something that can be guarded against with speed (IE the amaterasu kunai teleportation, Non-direct eye contact genjutsu, etc). Gai is awesome, but sasuke at least matches his strong points, and then has many, many more strengths (More ninjutsu, exceptional genjutsu, teleportation that is faster, smarter). Also, there isn't much info on what sasuke can actually do with his rinnegan, we only see a very, very small portion of its capabilities. The rinnegan alows its wielder access to every nature release and kekkei-genkai, but all we see from sasuke in this sense is chidori and fireball. Just because its not explicitly shown doesn't mean he cant use any of that, but also means we don't know the true extent of his power, so the sasuke we are all comparing to is low balled just because we don't see him do much.Even at that, this low balled sasuke is almost certainly superior to an eighth gates gai, but as readers without explicitly direct comparisons from the creator, all we can do is rough comparison and speculation. TL;DR sasuke still wins
