Reasons why Neji and Gaara were portrayed as exact eguals by Kishi in the CE..

[neosmith500]

Both had a first stage to their Absolute defenses..

-Gaara Had his Auto sand defense to stop all physical attacks.

Yes they were portrayed to be equal at that point in overall strenght but i think that in a battle, Gaaara would win.

And at sasuke retrieval arc, there's no longer point in comparision.

I could debate that and likely beat u , but its a toss up tho since both were monsters.

Plausible , Gaara got much stronger while Neji only got a stat Boost and no new jutsu..

 

[Icelerate]

I agree. I put them at low jounin level or at the very least high chuunin level.

Ha! Hinata's orders for Gaara was to forfeit immediately while for Neji it was to just forfeit. No immediately. That in itself shows Gaara > Neji

Lol nope , he said the same forfeit which means immediately lol , i see u tho..

 

[Exaar]

Well yeah, They were the ones to beat and the top dogs of the exam group.

Just a shame neji didn't the even half the development/attention Gaara got though.

Are you the one that was debating Hidan vs Neji with me? I left the base because of my studies and i don't remember if it was you. Do you want to retake that?
