1) kakuzu didnt recover from anything,he died and his other heart in those masks at his back instantly revived him,and kakashi didnt just instantly charge at hidan,he stopped,the said 'it's your turn' and then charged at hidan,before being ambushed by kakuzu,and the distance between them wasnt that great.1) Doesn't change the fact that he is fast enough to recover after getting hit by Raikiri and run to Kakashi as Kakashi is running with another Raikiri. There were still plenty of trees left in the area behind Lee and Gaara and the ones that were engulfed weren't fully covered in sand.
2) Bone spear doesn't have the same speed and force as Gian or Raikiri. One would assume that if 2 piercing attacks with the same element clashed and canceled out that they are of similar power levels. V2 raiton armor increases the Raikage's speed and reflexes, what does this have to do with raikiri. Furthermore, Chidori still pierced through the Raikage's chest and Sasuke's hand was lodged halfway through him, which impressed him.
Chidori from Sasuke was able to pierce through a giant steel water tank when he was a genin.
3) Temari was right next to Gaara... The fodder was near them as well
Tenten stated Neji's Rotation to be an absolute defense that is better than Gaara's do you agree with her because she said it? Naruto has even less credibility because he had barely seen Susanoo in action nor has he seen Gaara's sand doing anything since part 1, but of course he's gonna hype him up.
If Gaara blocks Gian in front of him (assuming his sand is capable of doing this in the first place) Kakuzu simply goes around it.
That narutobase link means nothing, it's almost exactly like what it says on the wiki. I'm expecting an actual scan or text from the databook that says this. I believe Joki already posted the stuff it says from the databook earlier in the thread.
4) I'm not saying that fire will burn through the sand. The wind by itself is already a highly pressurized attack capable of knocking trees over and obliterating them completely, combined with the fire it's even more deadly. actually here's the databook scan for it, since I'm capable of giving proof.

2) when in cs2,kimi's bones naturally become stronger than tempered steel,bone spear has the penetrative power greater than tempered steel as it is his strongest bone,and i am pretty sure bone spear>CE sasuke's chidori,so the fact that gaara not only blocked his attack,but shattered his strongest bone is proof that it was even much stronger than tempered steel at 13, the raikage's raiton shroud has concentrated chakra so much that it is visible to the human eye,just like rakiri,and chidori pierced v1 and sasuke's hand didnt go anywhere through him,his hand was barely hurting him,he praised sasuke for touching him,his hand didnt do anything aside from pinch the raikage,v2 was said to be at bijuu level concentrated chakra,so the fact that gaara stopped it easily,alongside enton spikes is a very high feat,seeing as a backhand easily broke ribcage susanoo.
3) temari and the others came back after the meteor hit,they all escaped the initial impact point;here is gaara ordering his division to run

this is gaara and onoki stoping the first meteor,as you can see,all the shinobi are at a far away distance,and only the kages are under the meteor.

,after the impact,she as well as the others who survived came back,as you can see,she is checking up on gaara,whose sand blocked the meteor as the sand wall is above him. Tenten compared neji's kaiten to CE gaara's sand defence which wasnt that great until SRA,in which his sand obviously improved immensely as lee noted,naruto saw the 3rd raikage and proclaimed gaara's defence better.
4) attacking and defendng at once is easy to gaara,especially if he one panels a sand tsunami like he has already done before,so coming at gaara isnt really a good idea,especially with sand and shika's shadow by his side.
5) wind is weak to fire,if the masks shoot with eachother,the wind simply fuels the fire,meaning it's just becomes a stronger version of the fire jutsu,which isnt gonna be a problem for gaara's sand. Joki's versions and nb's are basically equal,joki's say that it's solid defence is unmatched and blocks all attacks,nb's says it is virtually indestructable,both credit gian for piercing even rock.
