All Minato needs is a mark on Gaara or his sand.
OR throws a kunai towards Gaara and appears infront of him with a Giant sized Rasengan.

You seem to forget that Minato can summon Gamabuta who can shoot out oil which renders Gaara's sand useless and he can jump pretty high as well. He also can use powerful water jutsus that strong enough to cancel out Shukaku's wind jutsu. Minato Can use clones too. You also know that the moment Sand Tsunami touches Minato's Kunai he can FTG the Sand away right?Yup...I said it. And so did the manga in so many ways. Not saying gaara is overall stronget than minato, but gaara is a bad match up for him.
1. Gaara can fly. Minato can't. He has no ranged jutsu that gaara would even consider a threat.
He's not marking him. Let's be realistic. And I'll tell you exactly why he's not<
2. Sand shuriken. With gaara flying, minato would have to throw his kunai, which mind you, is a regular kunai...nothing special about it but the paper seal on it, can simply be intercepted by sand shuriken. This ours minato at a extreme disadvantage because:
3. Gaara can simultaneously attack and defend.
If minato doesn't mark a ftg spot far from the battlefield, he's dead...I'll explain< if gaara decides to do sand tsunami and change the landscape to that of a desert, even if minato throws a kunai, it won't travel far enough in time to outrun this massive wall of sand.
4. People say gaara needs a location advantage in certain fights. Guess what? Pts gaara turned a forest into a desert in a instant while constantly making his own sand. He can make any location homefield.
Sorry...but minato takes an L pretty badly.
I agree, GeniiGaara beats alive minato mid diff. Minato's speed comes with his ftg,gaara's ability to alter the surroundings makes ftg on kunais and objects useless. And a simple sand tsunami will end minato unless he summons bunta,who will just get his legs crushed.
He can FTG it away or have Gamabuta shoot oil at it which makes his sand useless.I'd say Gaara takes Minato mid diff. And I'm being generous. Minato can't do anything about the sand, and he can't even mark Gaara.
Wrong, his speed comes from his base. Obito even praised Minato's base speed saying he was worthy of the name Yellow flash, that's a Sharingan users saying that. The moment Gaara's sand touch the Kunai, Minato can FTG it away. Also if he summons Gamabuta then he would just jump out the way or shoot oil at the sand rendering it useless.Gaara beats alive minato mid diff.

Gamabuta can shoot a large amount of oil out and we seen how oil made sand useless when the 2nd Mizukage did it. Jiraiya even used his oil to make Konan's paper useless. Gamabuta can jump high/close up to Gaara and blast oil at Gaara while Minato can throw Kunais at whatever large mass of Sand Gaara has coming at them from behind and FTG it away. It's all possibilities for fighting.Using his summonings are his best bet but even then I don't see something like food cart taking Garra out. Or even Gambunta alone. Summonings killing off kages are quiet laughable. Gaara sand is enough to kill of Gambunta by crushing his legs. Rasengan is out of the question. Once Gaara knows of Minato's ftg he'll start to keep his distance.
minato was known as the fastest ninja because of his ftg,his base speed isnt doing anything to gaara at all. What do you mean by gaara's sand touching the kunai?,sand isnt one solid object. Bunta shooting oil vs this,He can FTG it away or have Gamabuta shoot oil at it which makes his sand useless.

His base speed was still higher than most of NV and was praised on it and Gaara not keeping up with Minato's base when he has no speed feat except with flying. Wrong, You do know Gaara moves the sand with his chakra right? It use his chakra to move his sand, usually in a clump. If it wasn't solid then he wouldn't be using sand to crush ppl or stand on when he's flying. Minato can teleport anything he or his chakra are touching, he can teleport to his Kunai cause his tag/chakra is on the kunai and if the sand touch it then it can be FTG. This will work on Sand Tsunamis.minato was known as the fastest ninja because of his ftg,his base speed isnt doing anything to gaara at all. What do you mean by gaara's sand touching the kunai?,sand isnt one solid object. Bunta shooting oil vs this,You must be registered for see linkscan just attack from below,bunta is too big to see directly below him,he is just a big target. A flying gaara is completely out of minato's reach.
hw do you know his base speed is so high?,gaara dosent need to be fast,his sand is what is very fast. He was able to make a village sized shield in the split second it took for an explosion to go off,thats blistering fast.His base speed was still higher than most of NV and was praised on it and Gaara not keeping up with Minato's base when he has no speed feat except with flying.

If Gaara doesn't use a large enough amount of sand then Gamabuta will either power out, cut the sand with his blade or shoot oil on it then jump. Gamabuta has shown to jump extremely high so no Gaara isn't out his reach when he can shoot oil at him while he's at his highest.
It was base speed that saved kid Kakashi when he was about to be killed, Minato was way by were Rin and Obito was 1 second and saving Kakashi while also marking the ninja with his mark all in 1 move. Then he drops his bag and FTG to the guyhw do you know his base speed is so high?,gaara dosent need to be fast,his sand is what is very fast.

Sand is a very small particle actually,a sand coffin consisits of numerous of these particles clumped together. So a kunai pf minato can only touch the sand grains directly in contact with it. A sand tsunami isnt one solid object,a kunai of minato can only touch some grains of sand nd teleport that. A kunai,nor miato wont touch all of the sand grains at once,
Bunta wont power out if gaara aims for his legs,didnt you see the size of the sand arms gaara made in the last chapter?. Gaara can also decide to use sand spikes instead which will just pierce bunta from below.
A jumping bunta will only make a good target for a flying gaara,who can just move away from an oil spit.
