In part 1 Kimimaro confronted these ninja:

-hundreds of KN0 Naruto clones.
-drunk and 1st gated Lee (albeit in near hospitilized state)
-Gaara with no Shukaku influence

How these characters would do in same gauntlet Kimimaro fought:

Temari
Kankuro
Zabuza
Asuma
No sharingan Kakashi
Kitsuchi
Darui
Sound 4 as a whole
Sakura
Tsunade
Neji
Chouji
Lee
Gai
Hidan
Mei
Konan
Yamato
Sai
Cee

All conditions (location, intel etc.) are the same with what happened in canon. Obviously no resting.
Just state who do they stop at what diff or not for ex "Sakura stops at Kimi mid diff" or "Darui clears high diff" etc. If it is too troublesome say who clears.

what...? I don't even understand what the OP is trying to say.

Either way, most these people only have a chance to outlast kimi. Everyone on that list, who isn't a kage level, dies unless kimi's disease kills him first.
Both orochimaru and kabuto claimed that there was no one in the leaf that could beat a sick kimi... That was at a time where guy, kakashi and tsunade were in the village. The fact that he couldn't be incapacitated while fighting several samurai, mifune and a kcm naruto clone, implies that that statement holds quite a bit of weight.

Those charqcters in op will confront opponents Kimimaro did in order like he did.
They won't fight him they will fight Naruto, Lee, Gaara.

^^^stops at gaara whether they're part 1 or 2 version. I still don't see any of their attacks cutting gaara's sand. Gaara's sand has never gone down to a slash attack. It even held up against 5 susano'o sword. The only one who has a chance to break gaara's sand is asuma, if he decides to toss his knives as piercing attacks. Other than that, their wind, water and fire attacks are all pretty useless against gaara's auto defence..

No sharingan Kakashi - He clears mid diff. Raikiri would put down gaara easily.
Kitsuchi - He can clear mid. He can block gaara's sand attacks with his own sand attacks or earth attacks. He can then crush him with his large scale attacks.
Darui - Clears mid/high. His raiton attacks will get him through this. Raiton attacks are good at piercing, which is what's needed to get through gaara's sand.
Sound 4 as a whole - These guys lose to gaara mid diff. The biggest threats are kidomaru and tayuya's ghosts. Even if tayuya binds gaara with genjutsu, his auto defence will still work. In any case, gaara assaults them with the large waves of sand and the sand attacks at their feet. In that wide open area, kkidomaru and tayuya have no where to hide. Once kidomaru goes V2 and gaara sees he's a threat, gaara will bury or crush him. Kidomaru's armor isn't as strong as kimimaru's to stop it, nor does he have healing.

Gated Gai and Gated Lee can clear it, as can Chouji if he can go Butterfly Mode at will like in War Arc. Kitsuchi's Mountain sandwiches should allow him to pressure Gaara, though unsure if he can win. Darui and Kakashi might survive with speed and Raitons to get past sand defense, but they aren't assured victory either, especially with Lee there.

Everyone else probably loses at Gaara, who was probably Kage level at that point, especially with what was essentially a sand source that is even harder than normal sand, let alone Lee backing him up. Only Gated Gai, Gated Lee (Part II), and BM Chouji I can see winning this for sure.

How can Konan breach Gaara's defense?

Not even Tsunade and Mei? They breached stronger defenses like susanoo in part 2.

What does the strength of Gaara's sand relative to Susano'o have to do with anything? It's not like Gaara is just going to camp inside of it and do nothing. Tsunade will have to worry about being grabbed by sand literally everywhere she is standing. She isn't as fast as Kimimaro, so she isn't going to be dodging it anywhere near as easily as he did. Even then, Kimimaro was getting tagged and at some points had to straight up tank sand coffins. Tsunade does not have the durability to survive a sand coffin, nor the regenerative capabilities to regrow herself from a puddle of blood on the ground.

Same idea with Mei.

Nice read although there were a few mistakes like using part two Gaara's feats and handing them over to part one Gaara. I'm unsure how Konan and Hidan have a better shot at breaking through Gaara's defences with their metallic weapons than the likes of Asuma and Temari. Fuuton>metal when it comes to breaching defences.
Only Tsunade, Sakura, Mei, Konan and Guy clears it.
If people could rest, how many people would be able to clear the gauntlet?

Temari: She should be able to beat KN0 Naruto with low difficulty considering the AoE of her fuuton and her ninjutsu execution speed. Lee would be a bit problematic and would push her to mid difficulty. Temari can visually keep up with Lee just fine considering her eyes kept up with the fight against 3rd Raikage and KCM Naruto. She can swing her fan fast enough and keep Lee at bay. Smoke clouds created by her wind can be used as cover allowing her to conceal herself and then oneshotting Lee with an unsuspecting KKM. Against Gaara, Temari would have to end things quickly considering she's lost quite a bit of chakra already and she'd likely not be able to dodge his sand attacks. If Temari can force Gaara on the defensive and prevent him from going on the offensive, she wins because his part one sand gourd isn't strong enough to tank a wind cast net or KKM from a part two Temari.

Kankuro Numbers could give Kankuro some trouble but he can spread poison gas in his blind spot and take out Naruto's clones by spamming. mechanically propelled projectiles. Kankuro should beat Naruto with mid difficulty. Lee was pretty wreckless back in part one and he is no doubt getting poisoned by Kankuro's various traps in his puppets. Kankuro should take this mid difficulty. He can't beat Gaara though unless he can somehow force Gaara to inhale poison. Gaara beats him mid difficulty.

Zabuza:Naruto can't see him so his clones are getting taken out fairly easily. He beats Naruto low difficulty. Zabuza can put Lee in water prison until he goes gates in which case, Zabuza can most likely outlast Lee via bunshin feints and look for an opening. Zabuza wins mid-high difficulty. At this point, Zabuza will be somewhat low on chakra and probably unable to use wide scale suiton which is still probably not good enough against SRA Gaara. Gaara takes him out with mid difficulty.

Asuma:Asuma should be able to steamroll Naruto much like Kimimaro. He takes this low-mid difficulty as his chakra knives have better range than Naruto's attacks and he is better at taijutsu as well as faster. He'll lose some chakra by the time he fights Lee and he may actually lose but I reckon Lee's at a disadvantage against chakra knives because if he tries to attack Asuma head on, Asuma can just adjust his wrist position to cut off Lee's arms. Asuma should win with mid-high difficulty. Gaara will beat him for sure since Lee will give him a run for his money and Asuma will likely be in no shape to dodge Gaara's sand and get close to him. Gaara wins mid difficulty.

No sharingan Kakashi Kakashi takes them all out pretty easily. He beats Gaara mid difficulty at most. He can probably blitz Gaara and his sand isn't touching him. Sharingan isn't needed since Gaara is a stationary fighter so landing raikiri is easy. He can also go underground if need be.

Kitsuchi: Kitsuchi should logically be able to make rock clones which counter Naruto's since his rock clones are more durable and he's a better taijutsu user than Naruto. His earth platforms allow him to entrap Naruto's clone army and then finish them off. He wins low-mid difficulty with the only threat of being blindsided from the back. Kitsuchi should beat Lee with mid difficulty considering how his ability to move platforms can destabilize Lee allowing him to use mountain sandwich to finish him off. Kitsuchi's large scale doton should be able to defend against Gaara's sand tsunamis if he doesn't end Gaara at the very beginning of the fight. All in all, he takes Gaara mid difficulty.

Darui: Darui should take Naruto out low difficulty with far superior speed, kenjutsu, range and AoE attacks. Lee will also falter to Darui's ability to surround himself with lightning, rendering Lee useless. Darui takes Lee out low-mid difficulty. Darui can probably blitz Gaara and cut him apart with his raiton sword but if he manages to surround himself with sand, Darui would lose. I'd give it to Darui mid-high difficulty.

Sound 4 as a whole: I think they can take Naruto and Lee pretty easily and then Tayuya's dokis can faze through Gaara's sand while Jiroubo's earth dome can trap him inside for a while and suck his chakra out. This strategy can work if the sound know what they are doing and if their two main players survive up to Gaara.

Sakura/Tsunade: Should clear for sure. The only thing that can put them down is sand coffin which only works if they get restrained. Tsunade is going to be hard to restrain whereas Sakura is featless when it comes to that type of strength but punching the sand away or summoning Katsuyu will work.

Neji: Kyuubi chakra has shown to be resistant to gentle fist so he won't stomp that easily but still wins low-mid difficulty. Lee isn't much of a problem either since he can't breach his defences nor can he outlast Neji while Neji can keep up with Lee so Neji wins low-mid difficulty. Gaara can keep his distance against Neji although Neji will be a formidable foe. Once sand tsunami comes out, Neji is done for. If Neji manages to blitz Gaara, he still has to take care of sand armour before he can hurt Gaara which allows Gaara to attack him with sand. Gaara wins mid-high difficulty.

Chouji: He can survive pretty much everything and even Gaara's sand coffins will be useless since he won't be able to surround Chouji with enough sand.

Lee: I think Lee can take this by blitzing the opposition and then pounding them with a large number of attacks in a small amount of time. He doesn't need to go all out against Naruto and Lee so he should have the stamina to face Gaara and win.
Gai: He destroys them all without any effort TBH.

Hidan: He wrecks Naruto and Lee but gets wrecked in turn by Gaara.

Mei: She stomps Naruto with almost no difficulty and beats Lee low-mid difficulty. She beats SRA Gaara mid difficulty.

Konan: Flight and logia hax renders Naruto and Lee useless but she can't breach Gaara's defence.

Yamato: He won't have enough chakra to deal with Gaara IMO or else he can beat Gaara high difficulty.

Sai: Flight renders Naruto and Lee useless but he can't breach Gaara's defence.

Cee: Genjutsu one shots Naruto and Lee but he gets destroyed low difficulty by Gaara.

Not saying she loses, but how is she tracking drunk Lee's movements?
Raikage and Naruto are much more linear fghters compared to him, even Kimimaro who has better deal of perception than Temari could not read them properly.

I think Naruto and Lee can give them hard time enough like how 2 jounins did. Their sheer speed and number would make them waste chakra to begin with, as they don't have AoE attacks to counter all clones at once or a good deal of their attacks are too slow for Lee and Naruto. They win first 2 but simply they won't have much to spare for Gaara.

Cee: Genjutsu one shots Naruto and Lee but he gets destroyed low difficulty by Gaara.
What is Gaara's defense for genjutsu?
I don't say cee outright beats him but what's his counter?

Gaara has automatic defense. This means his sand shield will work even if Cee puts him under genjutsu.

What do you mean Kimimaro has a better deal of perception? I said Temari can keep track of Lee's speed, not his actual movements as that isn't needed since she isn't going to be fighting in hand to hand combat at close range. From a distance, she'd be attacking Lee's position so even if she can't track his arms/legs moving in a haphazard manner, she'll still know where Lee is and can attack him. Temari's fuuton are also unpredictable and they all require her to swing her fan but the end result isn't always the same.

Genma and Raido fought the sound four together whereas Naruot and Lee are fighting them 1 VS 4 which is a huge disadvantage. Tayuya's genjutsu is an AoE attack while Jiroubou can use terrain altering attacks to deal with naruto's clones. Also Kidomaru's web armour screws Lee over because in his injured state, he won't have the physical strength to break the webs or hurt Kidomaru. Also I think her genjutsu is overrated but people like part one Naruto and part one Lee are going to have a hard time against it especially when backed up by three others. Sakon/Ukon can also screw over both Naruto and Lee due to the two of them having to come close.
How is he getting out of genjutsu?
The genjutsu isn't permanent because Juugo and Suigetsu managed to see Darui and Ay when the two were right in front of Sasuke. Also you can still move around and attack while in genjutsu. The problem is you can't see your opponent but Gaara doesn't really need to do that for various reasons since Cee can't outspeed or breach his defence while Gaara can use AoE attacks to compensate for blindness.

I'm unsure how Konan and Hidan have a better shot at breaking through Gaara's defences with their metallic weapons than the likes of Asuma and Temari. Fuuton>metal when it comes to breaching defences.

for hidan I was more thinking along the lines of Immortality. Part 1 gaara would have no way of knowing about his immortality and would toss out the usual sand coffins, sand burials and what not that hidan would try to evade and just walk out of once gaara released the pressure. By the time gaara realized wtf was up, it might be too late and he might be out of chakra.

As for konan, part 1 gaara has no real feats to catch all her paper with. Going by what he showed, he only had 3 large scale techs which are all useless against flying paper goddess, so konan would sweep quite easily.

For asuma, I did say that if he wizened up and started tossing his knives, instead of using them for slashing, he could have a chance. But, by the point he thinks up something like that, gaara would have slaughtered him. all he's shown is katon(completely ineffective against gaara's sand) and fuuton empowered weapons heavily relying on taijutsu. We saw what happened to kimi while relying on taijutsu.

For temari, it's a bit obvious IMO. Her arsenal has nothing to get through gaara's sand. I don't know of any piercing attacks she has and it doesn't matter how many wind slashing she uses. What's worse is that gaara can attack without worry because of auto defence, so temari would be the one needing to really look out for herself most times while gaara springs sand above her head, at her feat and throws massive waves at her.




Which part 2 feats did I use btw? I'm pretty sure all the feats I used were in his fight with kimi.

ground attacks -> Quicksand and sand arms
bury attacks -> quicksand, sand tsunami
crush attacks -> desert grand funeral, sand burial

EDIT: Oh, are you referring to the tanking 5 susano'o swords? well, fair enough... Gaara's sand also tanked a tail whip from kimi and a kick from lee, so it does have incredible feats.

Sand is sand, it isn't going to be magically stronger. The only thing that would change is Gaara's expertise in manipulating it / the amount he can manipulate at a given time. Gaara explicitly said that the sand he used against Kimimaro was actually harder than normal sand since it was a combination of both sand and minerals from deep below the earth. If anything, Gaara's sand in the Kimimaro fight was harder than usual.
