Nii-san ultimate defense is greater than Ka-Kazekage-sama.
His Sand is infused with Ch-chakra for offensive attacks, Ne-neji Sama can channel his gentle fist through the sand and render it useless.
If connected to Garra...he can paralyze gaara via the sand connection.
The sand will still portect him, but Nii-san's gentle fist blows are faster than the sand.

Gaara wins. Neeji can't touch him, i think, i don't remember how junken works, but if it doesn't affect gaara's sand, he doesn't stand a chance.

Gaara's sand has chakra in it. Jyuken works by either shooting chakra from one's tenketsu in their hands at the point of impact or forming a needle which easily cuts through chakra and materials infused with chakra. Neji is also as fast if not faster than Lee and Sasuke which means he should be able to avoid the auto sand. His Jyuken should also be able to get past the sand armor which is infused with chakra. I don't think Neji is strong enough to simply overwhelm Gaara though which is why I made this topic and gave him his miniature one tailed mode.

The bold is ridiculouss. People overrating nejii's speed all over the place. When has he shown a sunshin or foot speed that is even on the same level of lee's? Tough he has an amazing striking speed and hand speed, i can't deny that, but to dodge the sand like sasuke and lee did, he can't do it.

Thanks for the explanation of junken, i dind't remember that.

When he speed blitzed Kidomaru, the Databook says they are equal, and Gai said Speed if the key to beating Neji. If Lee was faster then he would have beaten Neji.

No not at all. Neji's wide field vision, rotation and good reflexes allowed him to fodderize any attack rock lee made despite not being fast. Nothing to do with Neji's movement speed which is not impressive. Kidomaru is not considered fast so speedblitzing him doesn't put him on the same category of Sasuke and Lee, who were fast enough to avoid gaara's sand.

Sasuke's speed even created the hightened flesh effect, to make chidori. Neji has no feats like that, and can't be put in that category.

I'll say it again, his reflexes, hand speed and striking speed were great, but not his sunshin.

Neji didnt learn rotation until after the Forest of Death and was superior to Lee from the very beginning. Reflexes mean nothing if you're slower. Its why Sasuke and Lee got beat by Lee. Neji's movement speed is impressive. Its only not impressive if you are looking solely at the effects of Lee runnig around and kicking up dirt and if thats the case, hes faster than most people because nobody does that. We know that however is not the case. The target's speed doesnt matter. What matters is Neji seemingly instantly teleporting a distance across a bunch of tree branches and using 64 palms.

Special effects don't matter because nobody does that. Nor does Chidori's speed. There are a multitude of people faster than Kid Sasuke's top speed who dont experience that problem. Itachi even casually caught his hand and redirected the attack.

His body flicker is very impressive and superior to any base genins at the time.
