You can't really rely on ABC logic in a manga like Naruto.
Why not? so far, it worked all well.
You could probably do that with most Bleach and all DBZ fights though.
idk about bleach, but same goes for dbz.
And a big reason you can't is because each character has a different move set and techniques that can counter or catch another person off guard.
True, but that's why I also explained myself. Besides, common logic gives you knowledge of who's probably gonna win, and only then you count their weakness/strength.
Sage Mode Naruto defeated Pein.
So Sage Mode Naruto > Pein.
Naruto said that he wasn't currently strong enough to defeat Sasuke, right after Sasuke fought Danzo.
So Ms Sasuke > Sage Mode Naruto>Pein
So MS Sasuke >> Pein.[/QUOTE]
But you're not listening: SM Naruto < Pein,the only reasons Naruto won are:
1. Naruto popped up exactly after Pein used his Shinra tensei (or something else, forgot the name, where he destroyed the village)
2. Pein didn't fight with his last body. He could kill Naruto with the same Jutsu he used against Hanzu, and Naruto'd been toast.
A prime example of why you can't rely on that as proof. Pein would defeat Ms Sasuke easily.
Already proved wrong, so that's my point.
But anyways I also explained why A would win, even without relying on simple logic.
As for the original topic here. . . I'd agree that A wins primarily due to his speed and the lack of destructive moves that Gaara has. Gaara would give him a hard time, and it would probably end similarly to his fight with Kimimaro in part one. A having been thrown around a few times, and Gaara nearly out of chakra. In the end A would win with a mid-high difficulty.
hmm possible
