Shikamaru jutsu will be more difficult to use from a longer distance. In a closer distance they're susceptible to attacks from Hidan. I think with Hidan's agility he can evade Gaara's sand unless Gaara tries dropping a sand tsunami on him, which I already provided counters to.1) oh,gee i dont know,maybe attack them with his shadows?,he could do that protected by gaara while thining out their techs,or does he have to be in the middle of the area to do that?.you talk as if gaara wont also attack them with sand as well,kakuzu dosent start out with his hearts also and hidan will be easily caught if he gets close,hidan is a close tanged fighter,he will be a burden to kakuzu more than shika to gaara,because shika can distract them with his shadows and think out plans while gaara attacks them with sand.
Let's see then.2) gaara collects the hardest minerals for his shield of shkaku,at least some diamonds should be used as well,cuz they are the hardest of them all. However,since he didnt specify if he used it or not,i'll give you this one about diamonds. Keep in mind though that at 13,he used the hardest/strongest minerals and formed it under immense pressure to create the shield of shukaku.currently it should be able to match diamond level.
Yes because the place was full of dirt and rocks? It would have been super easy for Gaara to make sand out of those things. Hidan & Kakuzu see that Gaara is destroying trees and the landscape to gather his sand, they get away. They are both pretty observant.3) the scans obviously showed rocky pillars,and the fact onoki is using his rock techs so much here proves they are in a rocky area,most of onoki's earth techs has him manipulating rocks,like his rock golem etc. Also the kages were advancing towards them,they stopped only for a short time,before gaara attacked. Also your right, he easily crushed the rocks there,in this location,all there is to crush is soil,as they are in a forest,also gaara attacked immediately with that sand tsunami when onoki suggested that they attack to test their responses. It took seconds to crush rocks into a sand tsunami 3 times bigger than kimimaro's own to the point where his dad thought shukaku was out and at full power,how much time do you think he needs to crush soil?.
No, he had a lot of Raiton chakra concentrated in 2 points of his body, his hands, A's armor is spread out all over his body and he makes it stronger in certain points when he needs to increase his defence, plus A himself is extremely durable and could withstand Mabui's Light Speed Transportation. It's not like A was using a sheer piercing attack like Chidori or Raikiri on Gaara's sand when Gaara blocked his kick, otherwise his foot would've gone through it, like Sasuke's Chidori did.4) kakashi didnt sharpen it as usual to block gian,he directed it outwards from his hands,just like raiton armour is directed outwards through his entire body,also i am looking at the level of power here,raiton armour is easily above raikiri and gian,and gaara blocked it easily in v2 with little sand,also since there is no knowledge,kakuzu wont bring out his hearts immediately anyway,cuz he wont know the magnitude of gaara's powers,by the time he does,gaara would have created enough sand,also i dont see gian piercing a multi layered sand wall,or his shield of shukaku,which by the databooks itself say it is virtually indestructable,and hasnt been PENETRATED by any force,also gaara formed it in like 3 panels when he was 13 against kimimaro,he can do it much faster now,also that shield was 3 times bigger than gaara when he was 13,it will be much bigger and even stronger now.
Kakuzu's doton skin hasn't been penetrated by any force either, except for Raikiri, which is its elemental weakness.
The shield was nowhere near as big as you make it out to be.

Even supposing it grows bigger over the time skip, Kakuzu's lightning spear extends far past that.
The sand shield didn't actually appear to be that small.5) he was pushed back but unhurt by 5 susanoo swords whose attacks were matched by a small sand shield,i am taliking abt the tanking force of his sand,also,isnt sand an insulator?. Gian wont get through his sand for the reasons i just mentioned.
Sasuke got through his sand with a far inferior raiton attack.
Gaara didn't even fight in a forest to begin with, for starters. Kakuzu's jutsu can change the landscape as well, and was obliterating parts of forests casually. What I am saying is that he can at least slow down the sand by using his giant jutsu to block it. During this time Kakuzu can also harden to tank Gaara's sand and Hidan can run the hell out of the way.6) gaara's sand tsunami was landscape changing in part 1,gaara just needs to protect himself from the attacks that will hit him,example his fire tech,if gaara and shika stay behind his sand wall,or his ultimate shield he will be fine. Also gaara's sand techs are on another level than against kimi which was a casual forest changing level. The sand tsunami he fired at the kages is much bigger than anything kakuzu can create. Nothing will get thrpugh his shield of shukaku. Kakuzi is either buried or sealed.
