Team Gai takes this.
- Ten Ten is probably not going to be of any help so she can just be on the side as a support, but we have the fact that Neji or Lee can easily solo Kankuro and Temari. Are we talking feats? Hell yes. Are we talking portrayal? Hell yes indeed.
Portrayal:
Kankuro, just by seeing close to nothing of what Neji could do, was already putting him in the same bracket as Gaara

- "We've got to start planning""

- Even Gaara was already getting worked up in the middle by seeing Neji's power

- We saw what happened with Lee, even after the fight Gaara was so determined to kill Lee in the hospital who would have defeated him had not been for the last minute intervention of his gourd. Before Lee, Gaara had not been scratched and he had already gone on B Rank missions beforehand, Kankuro and Temari stand with the addition of other Genins (Asides probably Sasuke and Naruto) don't stand a chance against Lee and Neji after what we saw against Gaara.
Feats:
- Lee already showed his feats against Gaara, he would have defeated him if not for the gourd. Speed wise, both Neji and Lee can evade Gaara's sand. Lee with his weights
still on could evade Gaara's sand

- Neji who is nowhere far away from Lee's speed with his weight off as hinted in the DB and based on the fact that their both Taijutsu specialist but Neji seems to be superior without the gates shows Neji can definitely keep up with him. Lee's is faster but Neji isn't far off at all and could even track Lee in the 5th Gate, faster than anything these guys can offer, Neji evades Gaara's attacks easily as his reflexes were so good it required the Hidden Lotus to defeat him. Then his ability to destroy chakra based substances,

-- As Gaara's gourd sand is infused with chakra

which is the only sand he has access to, not to mention the fact that battling Neji is incredibly dangerous with 0 intel. Then he can also pass Gentle fist chakra into substances which would be one of the worst mistake of Gaara's life, by flooding his chakra into it

He can release it from his entire body -- Battling Neji is extremely deadly with him defensively being better than Gaara, heavily hinted in this arc and we also already saw what Lee did.
- Lee and Neji can give Gaara a very high difficulty fight and can both destroy Kankuro and Temari together in a 1v2, either of them destroy and help the other in terms of ending Gaara.
