Are you forgetting that Gaara can soar the skies?

Clearly far above the reach of Totsuka blade.

Lets see how big Totsuka is:

As if that sword even touches Gaara.

Not much bigger than Susano'o itself, which isn't that impressive in size feats in the first place.

Can't tell if serious, your main argument for gaara winning is that he will the flight advantage which hardly makes a difference, Itachi has ways of attacking Gaara and forming strategies. Regarding the third eye, it is said it still connected to Gaara's optic nerve which we can conclude he is still vulnerable to genjutsu, Anyway's dealing with the 3rd eye won't be a problem as seeing it isnt keeping up with Itachi's shunshin and can potentially be watching a crow clone for the majority of the time, Itachi can easily cloud gaara's vision via 3rd eye by

This should be an interesting one. I see Itachi taking this, but with the utmost high difficulty. Gaara's defense mitigates Amaterasu and he can work around any form of Genjutsu by using the Third Eye which lets him watch movements while avoiding direct eye contact. The only problem is Totsuka, which for myself, I don't know how Gaara will persist in countering it given the sheer size of it. Although its piercing properties are unknown since the only two things it has pierced are people, which are much easier to pierce than a nearly absolute defense made up of dense sand.

Gaara was flying hundreds of feat above his massive city, Susano'o and Totsuka would only compare to Sunagakure's buildings.=D

 

[Crossroads]

This is the problem, he can avoid eye contact but are we forgetting about ephemeral? or dusk crow genjutsu/tsukuyomi combo?

Will gaara avoid Itachi's finger despite having no knowledge on it? Will gaara be able to react to a blitz from Itachi when hebi sasuke couldnt?

Just saying

Gaara would avoid looking at his body as a whole, until he is safe in his haven.. too much risk, as he might catch his eyes.

Are both participants ready?

Yessir.

1. Brute strength is meaningless, Itachi will not come into physical contact with Gaara unless he is dead. The starting point of this mach is 50 Meters.

2. Magatama is also meaningless, the fight starts from 50 meters apart from each other and Gaara would instantly take flight. He is more than capable to dodge something as blatantly obvious to see such as Yasaka Magatama.

Totsuka blade cannot reach him from his overwhelming heights, as I've already posted in the forum. His fight with Deidara proved that the sky isn't the limit when it comes to Gaara's flight capabilities.

You're acting as if this fight will be close combat, when it's quite the opposite.

1. 50 meters? Rather favors gaara? Makes no difference as seeing Itachi can make that gap shorter with his shunshin. And hits gaara with yaska magatamas and great body body clone explosions. His armor sand will crumble.

2. Doesn't matter if he goes up in flight, unless he starts off with the 3rd eye he is still prone from attacks from different angles and amaterasu lightning him. Also another thing I want to bring up regarding the sand armor, people forget that quantity wise it really isnt alot. I would understand if this was sand tsunami but this is simply sand armor, Amaterasu that was capable of reverting a cave back to its original form should have no problem taking off the sand armor.

3. I already gave possible scenario's to Itachi fighting gaara while in flight.

No manga proof that the third eye negates, or would be inflicted by Genjutsu, but the more logical observation and choice would leads towards it having no effect.

Every single Long Ranged Jutsu Itachi has would wear him out stamina wise, he can't break Gaara's absolute defense. Yasaka Magatama would merely crater his dome, while he can reforge it easily. Why? It took A FRS, Yasaka Magatama, and 8 tailed TBB to destroy a 1/3 of the way formed Chibaku Tensei, Gaara's absloute defense laughs at that.

I'll be back, I must drive to le store and buy le backpack for le mine is broken.

One last Thing I want to bring up regarding this mass is that your not even taking into consideration of the circumstances as to why gaara went flight mode. Against Deidara he had to since Deidara was fighting in the sky. Against madara he had to since flower tree world was about to one shot the rest of the kages, against kimimaro he wen't flight because bone world was about to one shot him and lee.

Even when gaara was fighting 5 sussano mukoton clones he was still on the floor surface and not in flight, Gaaras style in my point of view seems to be on the ground and rarely does he go into flight unless needed, Im not saying he wouldnt here but saying he will instantly go into flight is funny at best when the majority of his fights in the manga have shown him to flight on the surface.

Keeping that in mind Itachi along with his shunshin, has shown noteworthy jump feats

Itachi can easily get within Gaara's radius and end this with a tysukuyomi.

This is practice for the tournament you must wait for the judges to say go but seeing as im not needed ill go.

 

[Prince Charles]

Meh... if I feel like ill continue this later on, gotta study for some test Im taking tomorrow

 

[Draegod]

Haha, you may have just convinced me. Although, Itachi has Katon or Suiton techniques that can deter Gaara from that height and bring him within Totsuka piercing distance as we know that spawning Susano'o is literally a second or less for him (Sasuke fight).

The only long ranged technique I see that would sway Gaara's defense only for a brief moment would be Yasaka Magatama, which we can assume off of the Sasuke fight, that Itachi wouldn't have the reserves to produce many of them. I'd say no more than 3, and that's pushing it.

 

[Draegod]

Gaara wins 9.9/10 times! And dont let it be shukaku gaara!

 

[Airbear]

9.9/10? nuff said im outtieZzz

 

[thatgirl]

genjutsu is pretty much negated since the third eye can be formed anywhere like behind itachi, or hidden using the terrain or even formed high up in the air right beside gaara

and amaterasu can also be negated by the layer of sand he has on his body in case he gets hit

now if he can do something about susanoo then gaara can win
