Yes she was scared of Shukaku not Gaara. Part 1 Temari could blow away a whole forest. Imagine what Part 2 Temari is capable of. Gaara doesn't always have sand nearby. Sometimes just the sand he carries with him. Under right circumstances Temari beats him more time than not.
He doesn't need Shukaku to kill her casually with a Suna Bunshin. Even without Shukaku, Gaara is a legitimately frightening opponent and he barely even used Shukaku throughout the Chunin Exams where he crushed one dream after another. Part 1 Gaara wasn't scary because of Shukaku's power but because of the bloodlust he built up as a result of Shukaku torturing him by telling him he would run wild and kill everyone if he ever slept. Part II Gaara just lost that bloodlust and that's possibly why he seems less of a savage
All of that doesn't change the fact that Temari was afraid of the Monster inside Gaara and not Gaara specifically. When Sasuke actually made Gaara bleed Temari was scared, yes. She was scared because Gaara was injured but that's because Shukaku can take over Gaara whenever he gets injured or falls asleep. Re-read the arc because you can tell she was clearly afraid of Shukaku. The fear of Gaara resulted from Shukaku not more not less.
Shukaku was just one part of the reason Gaara was feared. During the Chuunin Exams, he was so intimidating barely anyone wanted to go up against him and they didn't even know about Shukaku
You should look back to Gaara’s fight against Kimmaru. He had no sand other than his gourd and even that sand wasn’t enough, so he used in to dig underground and bolster its defense with diamond mineral and loosened the earth enough to effect the entire area.
Are you thinking Kurosutchi? I could see her beating him if she learned Oonoki’s weight altering trick in tandem with some of her own techs. She could really mess up his defense offense game. I think that would make and interesting match to be honest.
Yeah the Added-Weight Rock technique hard counters Gaara and can render his sand too heavy to move or too light to do any real damage. If she does have that she could possibly beat him, but as far as I know there's no indication she does
Oh shit lol... No wonder. I was trying to figure out which Gaara fan it was that would cause this mass saltiness XDJinrou rustled all of you so damn hard
Nah, they’re more in the versus. I’m more curious who turned you from nb rent a cop to nb rent a troll
