The only one I see standing a chance is Gaara. After being changed by Naruto, he had a much clearer head and didn't let his emotions effect him in battle as much as they did when he was insane. He was able to keep up with Kimimaro very well until he unleashed his full powered CM2 transformation.

Also take into account that Sasuke activated the 3rd Tomoe in his Sharingan due to the strong emotions he felt while fighting Naruto (his best friend). If we replace Naruto with Gaara, then this event might not have happened.

Nine tail mode Naruto couldn't beat him, in which he took down both Gaara and Neji the strongest candidate there so no way anyone else could have brought him back U_U

If I recall Kimmimaroo was toying with Naruto when in his nine tailed form and Gaara beat Kimimaroo easily

No one:
base gaara already lost to sasuke so with CS 2 enhanced speed black chidori blitz and ofc 3t sharingan he'll kill him

neji lost to a weaker form of kyuubi naruto which sasuke defeated the stronger form also with 3t sharingan he can dodge all what he throws at him

lee can't beat him since 3t sharingan can counter all what he throws at him easily

shikamaru would die when his chakra is low and he wouldn't be able to use his shadow binding and bam he's dead

shino,temari,kiba,choji and kankouru are blitzed easily

only naruto could match him.

Gaara did not beat Kimimaro easily. Gaara held Kimimaro off until the latter succumbed to his tuberculosis. Healthy Kimimaro would have killed him.

True but Naruto used tailed kyuubi mode for the first time in his fight against Sasuke which was stronger than Gaara back then.

Sasuke was at this point basically a better version of Lee without weights. Lee was weaker and slower than in his fight against Gaara because of the operation. So no, he'd loose badly.

Base Gaara already lost to Sasuke.

Shikamaru? Are you serious? And what? It would be easy? Lol

Sasuke isn't a better Lee, Lee improved his taijutsu as time went on and using the gates would make him do what he did to Sasuke in their first fight which is move too fast for Sasuke to react but you are right, at that time Lee was weakened but if he used Drunken Fist and the gates then he could beat Sasuke. Neji takes the fight, Sasuke copied Lee's taijutsus and Neji already beat that easily. Lee said gentle fist was Konoha's strongest taijutsu style as well so Sasuke gets in close and Neji would block and hit Sasuke's chakra points as he did to Hinata as they fought in taijutsu. Rotation and 64 palm wins this.

You do know Gaara wasn't mentally stable when Sasuke fought him right? He was after being influenced by Naruto and nothing Sasuke has is beating Gaara at that point when he shattered Kimimaru's strongest bone spear. Sand tsunami will bury Sasuke and Sand burial would kill him. Gaara could fly at that point too as he was flying on his sand with Lee when Kimimaru's summoned his bones on the ground. Post Chunin exam Gaara>partial transform Gaara. Shikamaru does have a chance at beating Sasuke, his smarts was helping him outclass smart, skilled, and strong ninjas such as Temari and Tayuya. He would keep his distances, use exploding kunais, use flash bomb which will cause Sasuke to close his eyes while shadow possession binds Sasuke then he chokes Sasuke until he pass out.

Post Naruto fight Gaara was much stronger than the Gaara before because his head was clear.Sand Tsunami would be all he needs.He doesnt even need to use that sand shield thing he used which is impenetrable

What? Both Gaara and Lee were about to get wrecked, Kimimaroo died due to his illness, if he didn't die at that moment Gaara would had been long dead

Not really.Watch that episode again.Kimimaroo couldnt even scratch Gaara.All throughout the fight Gaara had the upper hand.In the ending he could have killed both of them but as far as strength goes Gaara was owning that fight

Yea come to think of it Gaara's growth was exponential since his fight with Naruto, he became Kazekage as a teenager during the time skip, so you might be right he is awesome.

Plot-no-Jutsu prevented Sasuke from coming back, lets say Gaara didn't bother Kakashi could do it without breaking a sweat.

Nah Kimimaroo was much stronger all Gaara could do was defend himself and seal him, which he failed multiple times, Kimimaroo was toying with Gaara too at the end he got pissed since Gaara pulled a tigger by saying something but just before the attack he died, even Gaara knew he wouldn't make it

Sasuke didn't share a close bond with anyone besides Naruto...So his Sharingan might not have evolved to 3t during the battle if he was facing someone else

Neji could beat him in his cs one form and if he seals his chakra...no cs2 awakening.

Giant choji carries him home/Butterfly choji dominates...calorie control has the same x100 mutiplier as the 8th gate, while cs2 is a bastardized sage mode with only a x10

Gaara could also possibly beat him.

If Shino was on the mission his bugs could've easily drained Sasuke (Probably the reason Kishimoto kept him out of it)

Honestly...If Naruto would've just grabbed him with a chakra arm and held him he could have just walked back to Konoha with him.
