Eh, chix I'm going to deny this. The Surging Steps doesn't really do anything to help him achieve the gates. Surging Steps is activating the gate, so why would he have any need to actually learn eight gates. Plus, the learning method is iffy. "Oh, iwa thought it was important so they had someone learn" which is fairly weird. Who did they learn from? It seems the eight gates technique is mainly a Might Guy, his father, and a konoha technique in general. Even in Canon, only konoha shinobi know it and those konoha shinobi are those who have devoted their entire lives to using the gates. Might Dai was still a genin because he had no other skill except the gates.
