Dude, Nice match up.

I remember us discussing Gaara and Minato being a pretty haxx'ed tag team, and now I get to use the FTG + Sand argument you schooled me with xD

------

Minato can tag Gaara's sand and be able to have moving way points to where he can teleport. While Minato can't harm Sasuke or Kakuzu on his own, he can hit Sasuke with the help of Gaara by having some of the tagged sand slide under Sasuke's Susano'O and then Minato can teleport inside Susano'O. He can also get to Kakuzu by tagging him and redirecting his elemental attacks with his barrier. This will come in handy since Kakuzu can stop any large scale sand attacks Gaara tries to use with large scale Elemental attacks.

So Team 1 Should be able to win due to their Better team dynamic.

The location already gives gaara the ability to produce endless sand which is already a counter for sasuke's Amatearsu. Given the terrain, Gaara technically has sand under sasuke's feet which he could potentially use to lure him out of something like susano'o. Kakuzu has hearts but given Minato's reflexes + shunshin ; an easy method of tagging each heart he would destroy them all with a rasengan rendering them useless. Jingou may be a problem but Gaara's sand burial should do the trick. MS sasuke's offenses would fail before gaara's defenses and in close cases Minato would intervene on Gaara's Behalf by simply tagging Gaara at the beginning of the fight. Sasuke's MS consumes much of his chakra and Stamina which would be a disadvantage is this drawn out battle. Kirin Is an easily anticipated technique (by it's preparations), especially by a genius like minato who is able to rapidly analyze and dodge his opponents attacks .....using such a technique would destroy kakuzu as well. Minato and Gaara takes this Mid-high diff.

Agreed with everything except Sand Burial being able to bypass Domu, but I've already provided other counters for it so it doesn't matter.

Add DA's sand tagging argument I stole And Team 1 has this on lock down.
