Opinion on C4 & Gaara

[lswhyte123]

I know, I know I make a lot of threads about Gaara. Frankly I do this because he is IMO the most interesting character and isn't spoken about all the time like Itachi, Minato and Naruto/Sasuke.

Anyway, I was thinking about the C4 Karura.

Most people say that Gaara would not have an answer for this technique but I personally feel that he is in fact the ideal person to defend against this.

I was re-reading issue 40 & saw that the nano-sized bombs were not doing any damage at all to the surrounding area of trees & non-living matter etc. Only things that could breathe the bombs in.
So you may still be wandering how Gaara can block this:

Methods 1: Gaara makes a cocoon of sand around him,without any holes, it will not permitt any of the nano-sized bombs entry and do him no harm.

Method 2: Much more simple, but simply flying away would do it. He can move very quickly and the bombs didn't go all that far or high for that matter.

Method 3: Gaara uses large scale sand coffin & traps the C4 and stops the nano-bombs from going anywhere.

Method 4: Gaara uses a large-scale burial and burries the C4 underground, causing the explosion to happen under the earth & cause no harm.

Because of Gaara sand grain detection method, even if he can't see the chakra infused bombs , he may be able to feel them out. Or simply form a shell to protect himself from what may be a large explosion. Shell=him being safe.

Thoughts?

that really interesting bro....i have to learn i bit more about garra coz i dont know much but from what you have said id have to agree

 

[KAGE RYUU]

i agree in theory gara could block it but without the sharingan to see the lil nano bombs he would be confused about the bomb not exploding and by the time he figured it out hed be dead but again if he knew about it and was prepared i guess ya he should be able to block it

 

[Yo pappy]

On paper it sounds possible, but I think the way Deidara would go about it is what really matters. Gaara doesn't know about the nano bombs so he might not see the use in utilizing his sand sensing to feel them out. He also might use the sand from his cocoon to attack Deidara leaving him open for the nano bombs to get in, and many other factors to take into account. All in all with knowledge of C4 I feel that Gaara would have no problem protecting himself against it.

100% agree. He would need to have a good way of detecting them. It wasn't instant though,the small bombs gradually caused things to start to crumble. I think if he has some distance, his eye of sand could 'scout' the area ahead and see what's happening & then he could react.

Method 3: Gaara wraps sand over the C4 Karura and envelops the explosion, keeping all the nano-sized bombs in one location, unable to spread.

 

[Baldy]

Yeah. In theory, it could work. That being said, Deidara would still beat Gaara. His clay can mix with Gaara's sand, and if Gaara uses method 1, he would die =/

 

[ShadowAnimal11]

I think he could block the bombs but knowing they were there to be blocked is a different story. He would have to figure it out someway or he would be screwed.

yep again method three quit possible thinking about it i thin if gara seen that huge thing in front of him he would be thinkin if that explodes im finished and he would jus sink it into the earth and without even realising it that would stop the nano bombs but if it went off and no knowledge i dont know a whole lot about gsra but i dont think he could sense them in time

Thanks. I know that it's not as black & white as I make it sound. I just thought I'd point out that there are ways for Gaara to overcome this technique which most say would destroy him.

Thank buddeh.

His clay can only mix with Gaara's sand if the sand stays on him and he gets to physically mould it in. Gaara would need to ensure he doesn't attack and defend with the same sand like last time.

That said, I think Gaara would have detected the chakra infused explosives, had it not been for the distraction. He also seems much smarter now too.

Thank though.

or he could make a shell around the c4 and stop them from spreading like do the whole desert burial thing

Yeah, that was method3. Thanks though. Good to hear all these options coming out. Gaara has a good lot of options here. He has been seen to use vast amounts of sand to nullify large scale explosives so why not do that here.

Agreed. Gaara could block it by engulfing or burying it.

Again though, if he didn't know what was going on and just stood there, then yeah. He'd be dead meat for sure, he'd need to act fast.

I had a question: Do you think Gaara's sand would react to it,even if Gaara was unaware? Like form a cocoon because 'it' knew of the danger?

Mmm I highly doubt it, his auto-defense has never been shown to form the cocoon itself. I'm pretty sure that is all Gaaras doing.

It's not 100% a cocoon, but it does show that the sand can cover his whole body to protect him. Why not if it react to an all round attack?

i agree with the cacoon method but gaara has to create it really fast because sasuke is fast and the nano bombs got him (at least in the genjutsu) but anyways good theory

Sasuke's Genjutsu got caught yes but as we see, the nano-bombs travel at speeds higher running, even much faster.

Sasuke was able to escape into the air and with only one wing & snake type wing thing. Gaara's sand is much faster(I assume) than Sasuke's flight.

The speed which Sasuke had at that time was diminished due to a lost wing but he still out did the nano-bombs, I reckon Gaara would be able to dodge much faster.

I guess then it would depend on the distance, and how much the auto-defense will cover. If you look at that pic some of the sand went further out to block the needles instead of staying compacted together. With that said I think the nano-bombs might actually send the sand into a frenzy by trying to block every little bomb leaving Gaara open. So yeah it might work, it might not. If I were Gaara I'd just make my own damn cocoon and get it over with. lol

I think if he could gather enough sand he could make a thick enough barrier, but if its in that forest and he doesnt have enough time to make/gather sand I dont think the sand in his gourd would be strong enough (yes I know the gourd sand is stronger than reg sand).

Thank you for commenting but you misunderstand. This isn't about strength. The explosion wasn't strong, it was just meant to send the small bombs out over a certain distance.

The nano-bombs only enter living things, Gaara's sand is not living, so it would not get through.

The bombs would detonate outside of Gaara's 'sand cocoon'(so he won't need much sand) and he would be safe from harm, inside.

What do you think now?

 

[lswhyte123]

Guess she ran off?....... doo-doo-do-do-doo-doo....whistles....

 

[KazekageDaichi]

Agreed. I've always thought that his sand is able to detect the nano bombs normally.His sand is very specialized in detection.
I also think he can bury the deidara clone before exploding.
