so no, its not possible, and to even suggest it in the anime would be silly.

Just like what I was gonna post.
Maybe a bit more complicated than mine though.

But I don&#39;t think that in the anime it&#39;s silly.
You know... people can go underground and do Jutsus and stuff.
So I think that if even Gai believes it , it must be true.
He must&#39;ve seen it.
