Calling him Genin Gaara is just plain stupid. Gaara's growth during the time-skip wasn't that big apparently, as he went from around Jounin to Kage-level.
.... What? Since when was Gaara stated a Jounin?
God, Gaara's shield was NOWHERE near as big as the Sand Village going by the very scan you posted, unless the Sand Village is incredibly small.Gai wins with his speed and strength. Morning Peacock ftw.

2. Gai is so much ridiculously faster he can easily tag Gaara multiple times without ever being hit...And only the Third Gate takes some time to open, I doubt he would need more than the First, or even one at all. And he can pretty handily knock Gaara down or back then use the other Gates.
When Gaara was a Genin? No. Gai would rapestomp Gaara back then, he even said (in the hospitcal during the chuunin exams) Gai said something along the lines of "You should wait until the actual exams, or would you like me to finish you right now" and Gaara had no reply. And he slapped his sand away like nothing when he was going to kill Lee, also Kakashi didn't even care that Gaara was watching Sasuke and Kakashi training, probably because he knew Gaara was no threat to him.
But Kazekage is on a whole different level he can basically just fly up in the air like in the picture and just re-arrange the entire geographic landscape until Gai is crushed.
