Gates + Doujutsu

[♠Solo♠]

So I was talking to a friend today about our nerdy Naruto theories. Then something came up about the recent chapter. We eventually got to if Neji knew the gates. I told him about how there's an Uchiha on the forum with gates and we debated. My theory with him supports what I'll say here. In the section of the gates on the forum, it says no Ninjutsu or Genjutsu may be used. Now, technically, a Doujutsu is not a Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or Taijutsu. One of the main three, but it essentially has to fall into a subcategory of one of those three, like how seals are basically sub category to ninjutsu. Hence forth, I ask, is it possible for an Uchiha or a Hyuuga to have their doujutsu active with the gates active?

I personally say no, because of the immense chakra flow that runs through them at an irregular pace, they wouldn't be able to control that chakra that's being sent to their eyes. That is, of course, if you believe in the lightsaber theory. Once it's applied, it's there, till said person has no more chakra, or if you believe a steady flow of chakra is being poured into the eyes through out the entire activation. But I want a staff opinion on this, for it will reflect what I'll be doing next.

actually i'd say yes. if you think about it, gates push forth chakra around the entire body so the doujutsu would probably stay active since its apart of the body.

I get that. I'm saying that a concentrated flow of chakra is going into the eyes. The gates would more than likely interrupt that flow, considering you can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu. So the concentrated flow would be disturbed and force the doujutsu to either A) Pop out of your skull due to the immense chakra rushing into them or B) Become unstable and remain dormant.

I'd say that they would be capable of being activated together. However, I don't think that Neji knows the Gates - in fact, it's known that he doesn't, since he's never shown the training or side-effects of using the Gates in his Jyuuken. When you activate the Gates, your chakra flow doesn't become 'irregular', it just becomes massive.

I actually have an interest in this, is it possible to preform a jyuuken technique then in the gates since the eyes would allow the location of the points and from their on its taijutsu and expelling chakra from the body.

I guess it depends on your ability to control the chakra flow.

you can't use gentle fist in combinanace with chakra gates.

Yes, the Doujutsu would remain active.
