But didn't Sasuke actually won the chunnin exams against Gaara, though? or wouldn't he have?

I mean, Gaara was down for the moment, and had it not been for the sudden attack/interference, then Temari wouldn't have the time to grab Gaara and let him recover and to finally transform to his beast mode? I'm talking about Base Gaara, who was injured and almost just before the match got interfered.

But anyway, Shino probably wins against Temari or the other way around, it's kind of a tough fight to decide when there's no evident gap in power or any hax jutsus on one side, lol.

While Naruto vs Gaara, since we're talking about a chunnin exam battle, where rules would restict transformations as much as Gaara's creepy beast mode. Then I would say(if Gaara was in his base mode), then Naruto loses(if he's not powered up with Kurama chakra)

But it obviously might be a whole different chapter with Kurama chakra(like the one he got against Neji) and the cunningness of the biggest knuclehead ninja of the leaf(or whatever it was). I think there will be a possiblity for Naruto to win. This is just my own opinion, though.
