This was not merely a matter of age and strength, but also of the direction one chose for their techniques.
Even so, in terms of speed, A was quite astonishing.
But considering that A was still young and would only grow stronger, they could only judge him by his current state for now.
Killer B was the same. Once he could fully master the Eight-Tails' power, his strength would undergo a world of difference.

Just then, Might Duy let out a low groan.
With the Eight Inner Gates released, Might Duy plunged headfirst into the frost-covered snow with a thud.
"Mr. Duy..."
Hatake Sakumo was startled and immediately ran over.
"Are you all right?"
Hatake Sakumo was astonished. Though he possessed an eye for talent and could recognize a fine steed...
When Kakashi enrolled, he had already seen the extraordinary potential of Might Duy and Might Guy, father and son, as well as their future accomplishments.
Yet Might Duy's performance had still exceeded his expectations.
The Eternal Genin people gossiped about in the neighborhood and spoke of among his companions actually possessed such a formidable secret technique?
Sure enough, hidden dragons and crouching tigers could be found among the common folk.
However, Hatake Sakumo did not know about the side effects of the Eight Inner Gates.
The moment he touched him, Might Duy screamed.
"Mm! It seems the backlash from the secret technique is severe..." Thinking Might Duy was seriously injured, Hatake Sakumo wanted to continue examining his condition.
"Teacher Sakumo, don't touch him. After the Eight Inner Gates are released, the caster's sense of pain is magnified countless times. Moving him even slightly is equivalent to flaying him alive..."
Akira Sarutobi kindly explained.
Hatake Sakumo: "Uh..."
So this was the legendary Eight Inner Gates...
