Since we are going for high levels of chakra control, intellect and taijutsu with the help of Gai-sensei. What if we try to become skilled in medical ninjutsu to supplement the Eight Gates and to negate the damage we receive?
I would like to go above and beyond with Gai's teachings by making his techniques our own with our own adjustments. If we could also combine a lightning shroud and even chakra transformation, a Kaiten with chakra from the gates if possible.
Rock Lee can't use chakra the normal way, so the Eight Gates is his only way to become powerful. Therefore I am very exited about a user of the Eight Gates that could potentially combine it with other jutsu.
On the other hand, I am personally not as exited about using Kenjutsu. Although it might be cool to use a very sturdy sword, Kusanagi level, together with the gates.

I don't know. Would Ves allow that? Obviously after copious amounts of hard work sure. But um, doesn't the eight gates lowers chakra control? Wouldn't that makes iryojutsu harder to do?

Look, I know Boruto sucks and all, but the sword fights were really damn cool!
Look at that!
Eh, I don't think it'd make Iryojutsu too much harder if we have pinnacle.

Yes, we would probably not be able to use the Gates to the same degree as Gai and Lee without insane training and by diversifying our skillset we make that even harder since we cannot focus our training to the same degree. We would therefore mainly use the lower levels unless we do train very hard.
If it is true that it reduses chakra control then that would also limit us to the lower levels when using medical ninjutsu.
If the QM rules it to be OP or unfeasible then that is okay. Destructive ninjutsu that doesn't require high levels of chakra control could then maybe be paired with the Eight Gates anyway.

For myself, I am strongly opposed to using what amounts to nature's self-destruct button.
We should not train an ability which will lead to our inevitable death. We should train abilities that will lead our enemies to theirs.

Huh? The Eight Gates don't lead to inevitable death unless you use the eighth.
You're scared of the gates for no real reason, and you want to limit our potential out of fear over something proven to not be lethal. Why?
Eight Gates also leads to mass enemy casualties.

I am exited about using Kenjutsu just not as much as focusing on Taijutsu. If we go down the path of kickass sword fighting, I would not have any problems with it.
If we are careful or if we can pair Iryojutsu with the Eight Gates then it would not be that destructive towards our own body. We would also only die if we resort to using the Eight Gate, the gate of death. The usage of this technique is our own choice so I do not see the problem or the inevitability of death.

Plus the eight gate is only one with guranteede death 6 and 7 I imagine still can easly wreck you hard enough that dying is real posibility not to mentione injuries from strain apear way before that so cripling is real posibility 8 gates are dangerous from prety mutch the get go.

Of course the gates are really taxing on the body, but we have superhuman constitution. We can take it, and it isn't like it'll be something we use for every fight.
Gai can use the first four with barely any effort, he probably has all his physical stats are pinnacle.

We might even find a way to use the eighth gate and not die. Still that would be a very advanced feat
I expect gates won't actually be a tech but a skill, going from untrained to divine. something like this
- Student (100 XP): 1 gate
- Practiced (200 XP): 2 gates
- Adept (400 XP): 3 gates
- Journeyman (800 XP): 4 gates
- Expert (1600 XP): 5 gates (by chunin exam time Lee was here)
- Elite (3200 XP): 6 gates (by the fourth ninja war Lee was here)
- Anything higher than Elite cannot be attained simply through EXP. It must also be done via story, and have narrative reason to happen.
- Master (5000 XP): 7 gates
- Legendary (7000 XP): 8 gates (Gai was here)
- Mythical (9500 XP): maybe 8 gates without dying?
- Divine (12500 XP): maybe 8 gates without any downside?
Or, alternatively, every gate is its own technique.

I think opening the eighth gate should be at the elite level, because opening the gates is supposed to be difficult yes but the reason the technique isn't trained that high usually is because it basically cripples the person involved even with out reaching gate eight unless they have an incredible body AND are able to understand how to use the power from the gates with out shredding themselves.
Higher level beyond elite should represent being able to use the gates below the eighth with less impact on the body whilst proportionally keeping the power high. With Divine tier in the gates being able to use the 7th gate with little or no damage relatively speaking. Gate eight pretty much should be "You Die" even at divine tier but the power boost should be god like, because that's the theme of the gate system.
It's a self harming last resort.

I agree the eight gate should stay you dead all the way if thers a way to survive it its a difrent jutsu or combination of multiple of them.

the gates you can open and those you can "safely" open could be shuffled around a bit, but i disagree with the "Divine" still having you die. Mostly because Divine is something so far above normal mortal ability that it MUST be sufficiently awesome.
After all Divine is the top of the scale. Mythical and Divine are reserved for Sage of six Paths/Kaguya level figures.
Even Madara and Hashirama (before the fourth war) probably didn't go above legendary, maaaaaaybe mythical in their very best skill.

A little omake, really not much, but eh.
Disclaimer: Daisuke and Ino are 12, maybe half a year before the current update
"Do we really still want to spar after class? "
He turned to glance at her.
Sitting next to him, shielding her eyes from the glaring sun, Ino continued to watch the current face-off between Sakura and Hinata.
While his match against Shino wasn't exactly a cake-walk, it wasn't particular taxing either.
Unlike Ino's previous match against Jabari.
It started normal enough, like two weeks ago Ino went for a kick to the kneepit to force him into a position where she could deliver a fight-ending kick to the liver.
Vicious, but fully understandable given her opponent. Jabarai, thankfully didn't hold any grudges and even gave her a thumbs-up.
This time, however, he saw it coming and blocked the first kick with a simple twist of his leg.
Catching Ino slightly by surprise he immediately forced her on the defensive and unwilling to block his hammer-like strikes she had to dodge and weave for what felt like eternity.
With the sun burning down, it was a matter of time until she was pushed out of the ring.
She was trying to sound nonchalant, but he saw, that her breathing was still slightly uneven.
He always indulged her, be it shopping, trying some new restaurants and sometimes even helping in the flower shop when her dad had a case over at the Intelligence Division.
It was actually pretty simple, he was happy when she was happy.
And… he was fully aware, that this wasn't a one way street.
Not everybody picks up an entirely foreign subject like Ken-jutsu just for a friend.
And being on the receiving end when he wanted to test a tai-jutsu technique surely wasn't pleasant either. He was sure if he insisted, she would join him later for a Ken-jutsu session without much fuss.
Turning back to probably the politest match of the day he gave a shrug.
"Nah, too hot for that. Do you have any plans?"
"Maybe" she scooted over, meaning that this was not supposed to be a group activity.
"You told me Gai-sensei taught you how to swim, right?"
"Yeah, as a kid, as a way to train without stressing my joints."
Seeing Sensei Iruka deliver some parting words and dismissing them for the day Daisuke saw Ino practically jump up.
"Perfect, come and get me at the flower shop and wear your swimming trunks."
With that she was off.

Now it was his turn to act nonchalant and fail miserably.
In his trunks at the shore of small tranquil stream he couldn't help but stare.
Standing before him, striking a pose Ino proudly displayed her apparently brand-new bikini.
"You look gorgeous." There, he said it and meant it. No point in denying in front of a Yamanaka.
Even he could tell, that his cheeks looked like he stood too close to one of Sasuke's fireballs.
Catching Ino's shit eating grin he turned and stepped into the water, 'keep calm and carry on'
"Not a word to your father!"
Quest Acquired: Survive Puberty!
…
'Goddammit!'

Hours later with the sun slowly disappearing behind the tree tops Daisuke made his way to the shore.
Rotating one shoulder and then the other. "I totally forgot what a great workout this is."
Humming in agreement Ino contentedly flipped the page of her magazine.
'Superhuman appearance indeed'
Feet still in the water, a thought struck, déjà vu.
Pulling one foot slightly up and on the surface he started to channel his chakra.
Literally testing the waters.
"Now that's interesting."
Humming in agreement Ino flipped the next page.

I personally am of the opinion that the eight gates skill level's effects are at least partly determined by our physique stats and taijutsu and chakra control skill level and possibly capacity, as taijutsu would allow us to adapt immediately to increased muscle prowess and chakra control would allow better circulation of the increased / released energies, while physique would more easily allow us to weather opening higher gates, like increasing time limits, how many we can open, and damage over time they deal to us. And the gates skill itself would probably follow something like, higher skill ==> better control with them, able to open them more easily, better management of energies, being adapted to higher muscular capabilities, specialized moves for them, less damage from specific conditioning to them, and other things beyond that.

That's pretty longterm, and considering the shitstorm coming... What's the reward?
