I said that totsuka blade should be a susano'o level weapon, but really that's me lowballing it due to lack of feats. The blade itself isn't a susano'o weapon, its a special/legendary sword that itachi found and somehow equipped to his susano'o, so gaara being able to block madara's susano'o only would at best correlate to him blocking itachi's regular susano'o sword, not necessarily the totsuka blade. It's speculatory on what the totsuka blade's piercing limit is, but it's ethereal so it should theoretically be able to bypass any physical defense.

Also, Minato's regular shunshin is still a problem even if FTG is neutralized. Gaara can sink kunais if minato spreads them out, but minato still can throw kunais around and use them for mobility. He only really needs to survive long enough to place marks on gaara's gourd sand, which will happen sooner than later, granting minato direct access to gaara himself.
