Gaara defense baffles yamato, to my knowledge yamato has no jutsu strong enough to penetrate the defense, sand tsunami or sand burial rapes, of course yamato isn't dumb at all so the only decent counters that would keep most sand attacks away like sand bullet would be the Wooden sheild

Gaara wins pretty comfortably.

Don't underestimate the amount of sand in his gourd, and what small amounts of his chakra infused sand can accomplish. A simple layer of this same sand defended against A's kick in mid-air. The more time Yamato takes to finish the job... the more sand Gaara has to work with.

Yeah I'd say Gaara stomps maybe low-mid difficulty. He shouldn't be compared with jounin level ninjas such as Darui and/or Yamato even though they are high jounin because Gaara is mid kage level. A better match up would be to pit his two elder siblings against these types of opponents.

Still I wonder if Yamato can grow wood inside of Gaara's sand dome by planting seeds on Gaara's sand. If he could do that, he actually has a good chance but I think Yamato is outclassed. His wood isn't that fast or strong so Gaara can definitely defend and react against it. Yamato is no top tier speedster and won't be able to overwhelm current Gaara's sand whose sand's speed is much faster than during the Chunin exams.

Still Yamato has a pretty impressive defence in the form of wood domes and such but Gaara could create sand right under Yamato's feat and use it to attack him. Still Yamato could avoid an attack like that by using . That jutsu may be able to defend Yamato against sand tsunamis too and Yamato also has the ability to fuse with the earth but Gaara can sense his location using sensor sand.

I can't see the battle going on for too long though since Yamato is clearly outclassed here and doesn't have the fire power or speed to overwhelm Gaara.

From what I have seen, I think gaara would win, though it would be a very long and drawn out fight.

Lets first look at yamato's wood release. He has been shown to create wood domes that could protect against shock waves and create forest etc. Gaara's sand tsunami in both the manga and the anime was shown to be smash through and crush many trees and cover a large portion of a forest during the gaara v kimmimaru fight, plus it's pretty large scaled so it w would easily overpower the wood dome. Also, gaara can rise above any forest created by Yamato no matter how fast he grow them. When madara used the advent of a world flower trees, the forest was grown INSTANTANEOUSLY, and his sand cloud managed to react to that and lift him in the air before it grew. Plus gaara himself has speed and reaction time to, in a second, create a empty sand shell, and move to the ground while lee was performing the primary lotus.

Onto yamato's water release. Gaara was shown to be able to manipulate sand regardless if it is drenched in water, shown during the fight with the mizukage and when the dust/lightning/water/sand combo that was used against madara. Yamato's earth can become sand easily, all gaara has to do is breakdown the minerals in the earth technique and make it sand.

Also, with shield of sand and armor of sand, I don't see how Yamato can break through it. The shield of sand withstood the meteor, fast enough to block Amaterasu, blocked explosions which are supposed to be instant, took 5 susano'o swords to break through, defended against joule boy, defended raikages kick which was augmented by lightning armor and the gold dust pillar which was supposed to be heavier than sand. Then the armor of sand which would more than likely have gotten improved, withstood hidden lotus, which would normally rip his head of and make his insides like jelly. I can't see Yamato breaking through it no matter what he did.

All in all, I give it to gaara not because he is my favorite character, but because gaara is undoubtedly stronger than Yamato.

No Mei is low kage level, Tsunade is low-mid kage level. Kakashi is low-mid kage level. Gaara is on par with the likes of Sasori, Deidara, and Kakuzu.

Yamato is just high jounin, nothing more, nothing less and same with Darui and Gaara's siblings. To be a high kage tier ninja, you must be on the same level as SM Naruto, SM Jiraiya, V2 A, MS Sasuke, Onoki, 3rd Raikage and sorry but I don't think Gaara is that strong outside of a desert. Inside of a desert though, Gaara is easily high kage level. Indoors where Gaara can't create extra sand, he is low kage level.
