Air Palm is invisible. So he won't see it coming to evade it from whatever height he wants to fight at. That and the size will be larger than Hiashi's which is as large as a Bijuu in width. Bold is ridiculous. A wave of sand isn't going to be conjured up, sent at them and actually hit them before Sakura can touch Hinata and before Hinata can thrust her hand forward. Especially since this scenario has him attempting this after seeing them try to perform air palm, meaning that Sakura is already touching Hinata.
I've given almost undeniable evidence that she can use it. Can't be a master of Gentle Fist if you can't use Rotation. Literally no reason not to give it to her, that is, unless you have a reason better than "she didn't do it on panel". Oh yeah, and Rotation creates

under the person using it, so the bottom is covered.
So then Gaara forms a cloud of sand beneath him again, and they just rinse and repeat. Gaara is in air, Air Palm is used, either he tries to counter with Sand and it gets blown away or he gets hit, knocked out of the sky and then catches himself with sand.
It's not even close to a stomp. If he can't take them out or overwhelm them within the first 3 attacks it can't count as a stomp no matter how many people come in this thread exaggerating the ease of the fight. Gaara wins mid diff. Mid-high diff at the absolute worst. No harder and no easier.
I'll first propose a plausible counter to Air Palm — Sand Sensing. As you proclaim, Byakugou powered Air Palms will reach larger than Biju size, that's nice, and dandy, but irrelevant in the end because only a small margin of the Air Palm will hit Gaara lol. That said, Gaara's sand withheld the recoil of Madara's meteors, Madara's meteors >>> Air Palm, therefore Gaara's sand will be capable of tanking Air Palms, unless you believe they're superior to meteorite recoil, which didn't even disperse Gaara's sand.
I mean added on to the fact Gaara's sand was capable of stopping the lightened meteor, which was still heavy af.

Sand Sensing will allow Gaara to pinpoint incoming chakra once it makes contact with his sand, similar to how he caught Mu whilst invisible. Same mechanics basically.
That's all on the premise Gaara lets the females perform an Air Palm, which as I said before, won't happen. You're deadass underestimating Gaara man, especially if you think he's being pushed to mid diff by two character's who are like 2-3 tiers below him.
Alright, lets get it.

Uh... Do you not know who you're talking about? This is Gaara, the finesse king, God of multitasking, and going 0-100 real f*ckin quick. He can perform multiple things at once like its nothing.

Need I go on? I'm sure you realize attacking Hinata/Sakura while fortifying himself etc etc. is fully in his capabilities. But I guess you're also under the impression his sand isn't fast? Dear God I hope you don't, but even so...
Deidara's C3 went off, nigh instantly upon detonation, Gaara summoned a village sized sand shield to protect Sunagakure from being destroyed. Take note of the "whoosh" sound signaling how fast his sand shield presented itself. That, and Deidara after capturing Gaara made it clear that the sand Gaara used wasn't from his village, but from the outskirts.

Deidara previously praises Gaara's sand as lightning fast, which is no shit sherlock true :lol

Basically, what's being shown here is that:
1. Gaara can multitask 3,4,5 however many constructs of sand he wishes.
2. Gaara's sand speed is incredibly fast, capable of moving a village-sized sand shield from the outskirts to immediately protect his village what nanoseconds away? From being obliterated.
3. Gaara's sand is faster than Hinata, and I'm sure faster than Sakura + the summoned sand traveled a farther distance, at a greater speed than any of Sakura's movement speed feats.
To add on to all that, clearly Gaara's sand isn't being reacted to by either female. His sand had to be incredibly fast to work into a strategy involving two of the fastest techniques in the manga. If the execution speed wasn't incredibly quick, and unpredictable, their strategy wouldn't have had any possible rates of succesion, it wouldn't have even been a plausible strategy if not for his sand's speed.

Both females are getting their legs crushed lol, literally no defense against that, as they aren't shown to be as reactive, possess sensory etc. This fight literally ends once it begins just based on his execution speed.
Hinata isn't rotating before her feet are crushed.
Sakura isn't punching the ground before her feet are crushed.
They aren't syncing an Air Palm before their feet are crushed.
If he can't take them out or overwhelm them within the first 3 attacks
When he can take them out in two moves due to their inability to react to unpredictability :lol They don't know when, or where his sand will show up similar to the Kimimaro fight. Gaara's sand unpredictability is one of its greatest attributes. The shit even surprised Madara.
No way in hell is this a mid diff. It's a stomp.
