That’s not all - even for Rock Lee, Maito Gai was not a good teacher: he encouraged Rock Lee to use that same extremely dangerous gate-opening technique in a freaking exam. But Neji didn’t know I’m guessing that’s why he didn’t seem to mind that much his team. Sure, he was probably a bit of an asshole towards Lee, but that’s not a reason to kill Neji! If I was Neji, I would’ve asked to change teams ASAP - I’m not staying on a team with a sensei who‘s teaching my teammate, someone that I’m supposed to be able to trust with my life, a deadly technique that would be used against me. However, that whole thing was Gai’s idea - yes, Lee had surely wanted to challenge Neji for a while, but it’s Maito Gai who taught Lee that technique made to kill, and thus turned Neji and Lee’s hypothetical fight into a fight to death… between two teammates, on the same side, supposed to work together, both of them being Maito Gai’s students. Unlike Gaara, Neji doesn’t have a sand armour or a capacity to bear far more injuries thanks to a tailed beast he wouldn’t have survived such a blow, as it was supposed to be fatal for Gaara too.Įxcuse me, but what the fuck? What kind of teacher (even in the Naruto universe) would encourage one of his students to kill another, for no good reasons? It seemed that the only point of that deadly fight would have been to supposedly prove that Lee’s philosophy of life was “right”… that’s a ridiculous reason to kill someone! And it would’ve been a very unfair fight for Neji - Maito Gai had secretly trained Lee just for that, and if the fight looked like it was going to go in Neji’s favour, Gai would’ve likely intervened, since when he‘s serious, Neji’s techniques can be deadly as well. And even if Neji hadn’t been chosen as Lee’s opponent for the next fight in the exam, it seemed that Lee was planning to challenge Neji to a fight for a long time, and since Neji didn’t know just how far Lee was ready to go during that hypothetical fight, he would’ve accepted - and possibly died from it. Neji probably never knew about that, but he got extremely lucky that Gaara beat up Lee so badly that Lee was out of commission for a while otherwise, Neji could’ve been facing Lee in the next fighting round and it would have for sure ended very badly for both - I’m guessing they’d both die, Neji from Lee’s gate opening technique, and Lee from too many hits from Neji’s Gentle Fist fighting style. Remember how when Lee opened the gates and hit Gaara, Maito Gai was surprised that Gaara even survived that blow? And when Lee did that, we heard from his mental monologue that he was planning to keep that technique for his future fight with Neji… and we’re talking about a deadly technique here.
Nevertheless, that’s not the worst part - no, there‘s also the fact that Maito Gai was encouraging Lee to literally kill Neji for no reason and personally preparing Lee to do that. Thus, Gai didn’t teach Neji anything either. The only thing Tenten seemed to be good at was her aim with weapons - but all ninjas have a good aim, even Sakura’s aim is excellent! And throwing weapons at the right place is something that ninjas can learn entirely on their own - therefore, in all that time during which she had Maito Gai as a sensei, it’s the only thing she learned, since Gai evidently never bothered to show her anything else!Īnd 100% of Neji’s tricks come from his Byakugan and trainings that he did with his family we‘ve seen the Hyuugan clan members train together. Like apparently Gai never taught Tenten anything about strategy or analyzing her opponent’s strengths and jutsus, because everyone could easily see that Temari’s wind style defence made all of Tenten‘s weapon attacks worthless, and yet Tenten just kept doing that over and over again, and she was actually expecting to win! Furthermore, Tenten, Rock Lee and Neji are a little older than the three teams I mentioned above, because Maito Gai decided to wait more before making them take the Chunin exams, in order to prepare them better well, it‘s crystal clear that it was only Rock Lee he prepared! In addition, Tenten’s taijutsu was lousy - she wasn’t fast and her running was awkward. It seems that Maito Gai taught nothing to Neji or Tenten remember how pathetic Tenten’s performance in the Chunin exams was? She just kept dumbly doing the same trick that clearly doesn’t work against Temari, a trick which by the way pretty much any ninja could pull off, and of course got defeated in seconds by Temari’s first and only attack.
Of course, he’s not the only sensei with a favourite student Kakashi’s favourite before Shippuden was Sasuke, Kurenai‘s was Hinata and Asuma’s was Shikamaru, however for Maito Gai it was really to an extreme degree. Let’s start with the obvious: he has a favourite student.
