so gaara using a speck of sand to stop the raikage in v2 while being bloodlusted from killing sasuke slipped through your mind? How foolish.and chidori was a piercing element,and an A rank tech used on gaara who had like what 2 techs back then?so gaara hiding sand in electrified water and then being fast enough to catch madara dosent show it isnt weak to water or lightening?and LOL at the one saying gaara's sand has been broken numerous times,you know that sand shield+sand armour=gaara's defence right?,so sasuke, deidara and madara are the only once who have broken through gaara's sand shield in like 10yrs+ of fighting in naruto time(gaara was fending off assasins at 6,mizukage was just busting out of sand coffin,gaara blocked joki boy and caught him in pyramid)and susanoo has been broken through by raikage,mei,tsunade,danzo,onoki,kabuto and gaara.so that's 7 people that have broken susanoo in under 6 months of naruto time.and susanoo takes away your life force and chakra constantly while active,not to mention it has a hole underneath,and hurts the user greatly.gaara's defence is automatic,he dosent need to see the attack,it takes no chakra unless he wants to strenghten it,it dosent kill you and is active even when you sleep.i think i choose gaara.
