OP is wrong.
Gaara IS stronger now that he doesn't have the 1 tails.
The 1 tails was constantly trying to take over Gaara, and that's why Gaara couldn't sleep.
He now has his full focus without the 1 tails.
As was said before, Susanoo DOES NOT WORK AGAINST GAARA.... He pulled MADARA ****ing UCHIHA out of his Susanoo....madara is more powerful and more experienced than susuke.
Also, Gaara was able to use his sand at the KAGE summit to block sasukes Amaterasu...so we know that it won't work against Gaara.
Lastly, Gaara has protection from genjutsu thanks to the third eye he can summon.
Gaara wouldnt walk over sasuke, but he has a counter to sasukes most powerful moves, and that includes Susanoo arrows because Gaara can instantly create sand barriers that were strong enough to stop Madaras attacks....
OP is a fanboi
The amount of bias in this post is too damn high!
Where to start? Oh yes: the most ridiculous assumption: "Gaara has protection from genjutsu thanks to the third eye he can summon." - what? How many times did Gaara use that in a fight? Genjutsu takes 0.00000000001 seconds and that takes ... how long? Let's assume it takes longer and face the fact that Gaara rarely uses it and wouldn't start a fight with that especially now.
"As was said before, Susanoo DOES NOT WORK AGAINST GAARA.... He pulled MADARA ****ing UCHIHA out of his Susanoo" -wasn't that a team effort? And either way. Gaara had the ground advantage... let's see Gaara do that in Kabuto's cave for example
"madara is more powerful and more experienced than susuke." - WRONG. Sasuke know more about Gaara than Madara does. FACT.
"Also, Gaara was able to use his sand at the KAGE summit to block sasukes Amaterasu...so we know that it won't work against Gaara." - I love how you assume Gaara gets stronger by the second, yet you would assume that a weakened version of MS Sasuke = a full powered version of EMS Sasuke. Good job on being neutral there.
"Gaara wouldnt walk over sasuke, but he has a counter to sasukes most powerful moves, and that includes Susanoo arrows because Gaara can instantly create sand barriers that were strong enough to stop Madaras attacks...." - No one knows how strong Sasuke's arrow is, but what we do know for sure is that each MS/EMS user has something unique about him. Itachi has his extremely strong tsukyiomi. Madara has a special susanoo. Sasuke has a strong amaterasu. And believe me, EMS just made it stronger...or how else will he be on par with Naruto? By talking to him to death? No. If you're insinuating a support character would be stronger than a main character (yes, Sasuke and Naruto are main because they are equal rivals) then you are more bias than the OP. Good day.
