Gaara should be more than capable of winning this with the location and distance.

Minato high-difficulty, only because it's in a desert. Gaara has no way of hurting Minato... FTG gets him out of literally every sand bind possible. Furthermore, Food Cart Destroyer wreaks havoc.

Gaara buries his FTG kunais 200 meters underground.

How does he do that when every Kunai and cone present would be within the Sand Tsunami's AOE?

And then Minato teleports them right back in his hands making it a wasted effort.



Summoning? Shunshin?

What? You do realise that it is a low-effort task for Gaar to crush these FTG Kunai's, right? 200 meters beneath the ground means there's already enough pressure to destroy them, whereas Gaara can opt to use a natural sand coffin and break them as well. All the while, Minato isn't touching Gaara, and if he has to FTG 50 kunai's to himself every time, he'll be out of chakra in mere seconds (assuming he notices them being broken, since Gaara can smash them one by one).

Summoning is doing what? It isn't getting past this [ ], even if he can jump over it, Gaara is still controlling his sand and can have it follow such a massive target easily, then go on to crush him with a sand coffin. Minato either wastes his chakra or lets him die, either way, he won't be useful for another one of lower scale. Shunshin is doing nothing imo. Gaara can manipulate as much sand as he wants simultaneously, hence while the Tsunami is going to occur, usage of sand drizzle [ ] allows him to take control of Minato's standing position to prevent shunshin, whereas Hirashin will only be detrimental in this case, as he would get crushed by the incoming Sand Tsunami.

Pfft, what? Bunta is the size of the meteor Gaara could barely hold. And the quantity of that sand easily surpassed the sand you're showing. Anyway, Kuchiyose and Bunshin are holding him off for a while until Minato prepares HM and Goemon with Fukasaku and Shima. Senpo: Goemon destroys the sand and Gaara as well. Well played Gaara, even in desert lol.

I mean... assuming Gaara is close enough to the ground to locate every single small kunai that can easily sink or partially sink under the surface of sand; You do realize it's an even lower-effort task (Not to mention much faster) for Minato to teleport his kunai back to him before Gaara locates them and attempts to crush them all. Also, this might be a little controversial, but Minato should be able to transfer chakra into the sand, which would make this fight much easier for him.

If, well, when Gaara opts into utilizing his sand tsunami, he blocks his line of site and can no longer see Minato. On the flip side, Minato is a sensor and can sense out Gaara's location. So in this scenario, Minato can simply utilize foot cart destroyer on top of Gaara to crush him. Clone feints and/or sand shields aren't saving him since he can't see Minato, thus won't anticipate this happening. Again, Gaara loses track of Minato... So I think Minato, with sufficient feats in this department, will be able to successfully shunshin out of the tsunami's AoE and avoid a sand tsunami...but I could be wrong. I like the food cart destroyer tactic better anyways lol.

Edit: Forgot to mention S/T barrier as well.

Gaara makes sure Minato is unable to move and forces him to give him a good job if you know what I mean.

Gaara has the ability to sense through his sand, he easily locates the FTG kunai's on the sand. As I said before, he can do it individually while he's attacking Minato, there is no way in hell someone who cannot sense decently has the ability to discern Gaara's sand crushing FTG kunai's 1 by 1. Sand Drizzle makes this even harder, since Minato won't realise that Gaara is intending to destroy the FTG kunai's with it, but rather assume it as a distraction (since it can restrict Minato's body if he doesn't Hirashin away). And no, he cannot. Minato has never shown the ability to let his chakra seep through objects, nor is their any hypothetical reason to believe it can overpower Gaara's own chakra.

Gaara can still sense him, and Gaara can still utilise the 3rd eye for vision, so he still does have perfect understanding of what is transpiring. Since when can Minato sense in that way? Last I checked he could only sense Kyuubi's chakra, which the whole of Team Taka could without being sensors, and sense how many enemies there were by putting his finger on the ground. Don't see how that will allow him to sense someone airborne. So no, he isn't doing anything of the sort. low-Jounin level shinobi have reacted to its execution, Gaara does so easily [ ]. The shunshin argument is not benefiting you. If Minato attempts to Shunshin out of the Tsunami wave, all the FTG kunai's will be crushed, and Minato can do nothing about that, especially since Sand Drizzle is occurring. If it ends up catching Minato after his shunshin is halted, he'll have no where to teleport to since all the FTG kunai's are right beside him.

@1st bold: They sensed Kyuubis chakra. Minato sensed Naruto's

@2nd bold: He sensed Naruto when he was airborne.

He was also able to sense the Juubi's power and discern it was stronger in Madara than it was in Obito, something Naruto tried to do and failed, and something Kurama said was impossible to sense, yet Minato did.

He also sensed his seal he placed on Obito 17 years ago, which is how he found out Obito was the masked man.

I have been saying for a while that Tobirama and Minato must sense their seals to teleport to them, otherwise they have no idea where they are going. When he teleports Jubidamas and Bijuudamas hes not sending the blast anywhere, he is sensing whatever seal he wants to send it to and sends it there. He has control over where he goes and where things he sends goes so because of that he would need to know the location of his seals. The chakra link is the key. He can only go to or send things where his chakra is and through sensory he picks a seal somewhere in the world and goes there. Its not a coincidence that when he warped JuubiDama away it went to his seal in the ocean and not the ones he set up in perimeter over the Juubi or back to Konoha. Thats him having control over what seal it goes to and like I said, he needs to know where they are otherwise he'd be sending them to random locations and could blow up the village by accident etc.

If Minato tags the sand Gaara can move the sand to an area that is most advantageous to him. (Possibly mix the tag to the bottom of the sand)
