Also, I'm not experienced with Japanese at all, so would 5 years be pronounced. ごせん or ごし?
「20のゲイト」 sounds a bit odd. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I would probably add a 「第」 in front of the 「20の」. Then again, I'm not a native Japanese speaker, so take what I'd just said with a grain of salt.

"5 years" would be 「五年」, which is pronounced as 「ごねん」. If you are trying to say "5 years old" instead, then use 「五歳(ごさい)」.
