Gaara wins, totsuka can't penetrate his town level defences

And the location gives him an advantage he can draw sand from the surrounding place

Ameterasu isn't effective

Itachi can't maintain susanoo for prolonged times as well

Wait it's jin gaara?

Gaara most likely wins. However, he instantly loses if he ever goes shukaku since he'd be a massive target for totsuka to rip him apart(with swings), then seal him.

Damn. You're making this hard for Itachi.

I guess I'll oppose the majority here and say Itachi takes this. It's more fun if there's that one guy who does it.

Itachi solos ^_^

Well I would argue that it's a matter of who makes the first mistake. Itachi's susanoo can activate faster than any of Gaara's attacks (by my logic, Kirin > any of Gaara's attacks, unless you can prove otherwise ... I'm open to it) so Itachi doesn't need to maintain susanoo. Instead he can just activate it whenever he gets attacked.

The fact that Gaara knows Itachi is a genjutsu expert makes it extremely hard for my boy, but nevertheless, I would argue that Itachi can use even his finger to cast genjutsu. And like most/all shinobi in the narutoverse, none of them are awake of any finger genjutsu ... my guess. And the genjutsu doesn't need to last long or do some damage. Its purpose is simply to distract Gaara for a milisecond so Itachi can find an opening.

Yes, I'm defeding an underdog here and I'm aware of it. but Itachi CAN win this fight as well.

It's true that Kirin is faster than Gaara's attacks, but once Itachi activates Susano'o, he shouldn't lower it. Once , which would be able to cover a whole village, Itachi will be forced to Susano'o and if he removes it for second, Gaara can make his sand envelope Itachi.

Hmmm. This could be true, but since Gaara knows here that Itachi is a Genjutsu expert, . Another simple counter to Genjutsu and once Gaara himself gets caught in a Genjutsu, these Clones can disturb his Chakra flow and break him out of the Genjutsu.

Yeah, I know that Itachi can win. :p

What? Clones don't function when trapped inside tsukuyomi, :| the user still needs to produce input to move the clones, which stops when he;s put under genjutsu,

A sand tsunami of that scale is not happening unless he is in the village already, the one from Gaara v.s Kimi is more plausible, even then people overestimate what gaara can do with this sand,

Itachi's sharingan should still be able to see Gaara's chakra entering the sand, so Pre-Cog still works here, and i'd say Itachi's reactions>Kimi's so he can dodge and weave his way through the sand imo,

If Gaara envelopes himself in such a sphere the third eye get's KO'd via Shurikan as Itachi can see where it is at all times, not to mention surrounding yourself with a sand that is going to be lit on fire (BLACK fire) is not very smart, as the flames would soon push or melt the sand inwards, causing Gaara to be hit as well

Gaara has the location as an advantage.

Gaara wins. He spams Tsunami and buries Itachi along with his Susano'o.

Gaara is susceptible to itachi's genjutsu. The only problem is that, even though gaara would be under genjutsu while itachi attacks him in the Real World, auto defence would still do it's part to block itachi's attacks :/

I clearly wasn't talking about Tsukuyomi, Sexion. :| And once Gaara produces the clones, they move on their own and think on their own until the enemy destroys them or until Gaara releases them.

Part 1 Gaara was able to create such a big Tsunami out of nowhere, I believe that Part 2 Shukaku Gaara would be able to create a bigger Tsunami, but it doesn't matter really. The Sand Tsunami Gaara used in part 1 is enough to keep Itachi in Susano'o.

Itachi's sharingan should still be able to see Gaara's chakra entering the sand, so Pre-Cog still works here, and i'd say Itachi's reactions>Kimi's so he can dodge and weave his way through the sand imo,

I'll have to disagree here. If I remember correctly, Kimi got trapped and .

Shuriken? Really, Sexion? Those shuriken can be blocked by any of Gaara's sand jutsu. And Amaterasu burns slowly, Gaara can shed the part of the sand that got hit by it.

Gaara with Shukaku takes this low diff.
