When did it say it was made of sand plz provide manga pic
manga pic?,dude shukaku is made out of sand,watch naruto vs gaara and you will see,infact just google shukaku. OT,amaterasu can't burn through gaara's gourd sand which is sand mixed with chakra,the shukaku is a bijuu made of sand,meaning it is like 100x stronger than gaara's gourd sand,it can't feel pain and amaterasu wont burn through it unlike hachibi which is made of flesh and feels pain. Gaara can use his half and humanoid shukaku forms as a boost,we've seen the tanking abilities while in this form to two chidori's. If gaara enters his mini shukaku copy form(the one that fought gambunta before gaara went to sleep),then sasuke has no chance.his arrows cudnt pierce through a rock,or fully puncture an imperfect moukton,it isnt going through tons of sand compacted with bijuu chakra,amaterasu is useless as well,cuz it can't burn through the sand at all or cause pain to gaara,tsukiyomi isnt gonna work as well,that mini shukaku gaara is huge to begin with and knows not to look into sasuke's eyes as well,and he is controlling the sand body not his own,sota like mind-body switch,tsukiyomi makes the user experience pain,gaara in that form can't feel pain,and can break out with shukaku's help.gaara can also create sand copies of his shukaku form.his sand powers in base were compared to his mini shukaku form by his dad,we know he couldnt have taking abt SRA gaara cuz he died long before the invasion of konoha.so if gaara's powers were so strong while in hus shukaku form while he was 12 and below that he was said to be equal to the current gaara,imagine how much sand he can use while in his shukaku form in his current state. Susanoo isnt much of a problem,i am pretty sure that mini shukaku gaara can break it,alsio seeing as other jins can do tbb in their final form before the real bijuu,i'd say that gaara can do it as well.he can also use wind release which is probably stronger than a baku danzo one. Also he retains his other tricks like sand sensing,sand skills etc. However if gaara allows shukaku to fully come out and reveal his head,sasuke might snipe him out,though he most likely knows this weakness and wud cover it up.oh and kiummaro had a speed of 4.5 bu the databooks when he fought 13yr old gaara,and gaara easily kept up with him and caught him multiple times,he needed his cs2 enhanced bones to finally hit gaara.the most recent databooks list sasuke as a 4.5 in speed as well,so if gaara could keep up with kim at 13 with a speed of 4.5,then current kazekage gaara sure as hell can keep up with sasuke who has the same stats. So yea shukaku gaara can beat sasuke,in a dessert though,shukaku isnt really neededxd
