Ive laughed at the following:

Kisame ranked below/with Gai/Kakashi
The Akatsuki wouldnt invite weaklings into their ranks. Of the 5 members (ex included) we have seen in combat, two defeated Kage's, one is extremly feared (and speculated to be the strongest in the manga), one is a legendary ninja of the sand, and Kisame who we havnt even seen in serious combat.
We have seen Gai do exactly one thing... Konoha Senpuu people who were not expecting it.
Kakashi's seriously feared the 2 Akatsuki he knows (Oro and Itachi). We should expect Kisame to have intimate knowledge of a Sharingan user. If Gai 'knows' the sharingan from Kakashi, then Kisame 'KNOWS' the sharinganx2 from Itachi.

Deidaro would have been bitch slapped by kakashi or Gai.
Diedara took out the Kazekage/Gaara. Her unique ability has obvious potential for power. First she almost nuked a major city. Second, she beat one of the strongest 'distance' fighters at their own game. You're telling me she would get whooped by Kakashi or Gai?!

Weakest' dick comment to Dezalanel
I definitely see where you are coming from Dez... the irony is too great.

Kabuto may have one of demons
... yyyyup.



Gai probably knows the first few gates (how else would he teach them to Rock Lee) but once you know how to do something (like open gates) you could probably open them on your own from there on out. He could open fewer then Rock Lee - as much as I would like that - it probably isnt the case.

Just a disclaimer:
I still believe Kishimoto can write whoever to beat whoever.... so.... as 'pointless' as people like to point out... its still fun.
& Naruto doesnt follow a power lvl structure... so... there ya go
