Sasuke vs Gaara

no he wont hav the power 2 reshape the battle field will he now i dont think so he will be jus like the avg shinobi with regular chakra reserves.in the show after losing shakkaku he could barely make the sand shake naruto's hand.

He never shook Naruto's hand with the sand when he came back to life. He shook hands. Not to mention when he came back to life he could barely even move. I doubt he recovered fully by the time Naruto left.

i think he pulled naruto's hand in with the sand

He did. But it's not like he strained. He didn't 'barely make the sand shake Naruto's hand' though.

if u watch the episode u would kno wat happened kento

I've read the manga...Who cares about the episode. Heck I just looked at the manga to figure out what you were talking about. Before they leave Gaara holds out his hand and lifts Naruto's hand. No effort, nor straining. And he shakes Naruto's hand with his own hand.

yes but he uses the sand to do it read magna and watch the show so u can see actual movements

Gaara can still bend sand. All the jutsu's he has ever done he can still do except for those transformations with Shukaku.

This doesn't necessarily mean he's equal to a kage anymore...

What are they going to do. Tell Gaara that you suck without Shukaku and releave him of his Kazekage position.

Yes.

Believe it or not, it's not kindergarten.

well seeing as to how he still is the hokage he should have a preety decent control of the sand only thing is it will probably take more chakra and the sand wont protect him like it used to

He used to be the Kazekage.

where did it ever say he was demoted

Saucegay > Deidara > Gaara

Gaara beat Deidara's ass until he pulled a b!tch move to trick him...

He is smarter, not more powerful.

Deidara went into that fight unprepared

No matter where Deidara had aimed the bomb, it would've required an equal amount of sand to stop.

Using a distraction isn't exactly cutting edge tactics, nor is it particularly cheap considering their surroundings.

Bada's Palin, the point that DJ is trying to say is that Gaara beat the living shit out of Deidara, even though he got clay in his sand, Gaara still won . If they didn't fight at the sand village, and fought in the forest where Gaara and Naruto fought, Gaara would have beat the hell out of Deidara.

But Deidara only used C1 against Gaara.
