Gaara stomps...

Gaara is simply the worst kind of opponent for Neji to go up against.

Neji is powerful, but nowhere near close to Gaara's level.

the primary obstacle to Neji is Gaara's first line of Sand defence, which automatically activates. Lee was only able to get past it after releasing the weights and even then it took a few tries to get the past the sand. he was caught before he made contact couple of times before he finally hit Gaara.

this alone gives Gaara the advantage. Neji doesnt have Lee level speeds to breach the sand defence.

Yes, Gentle Fist will not be bothered by the sand armour Gaara has on as it does internal damage than physical, but Neji who simply cannot get past the sand defence for his to land a proper Gentle Fist strike. during the exams Neji had to get real close, as in literally hit the body, to do the damage.

the 64 Palms are useless as Neji simply cannot get the past the defensive sand line. each strike will be blocked by the sand, or the sand could simply form a cocoon around Gaara like it did during the forest of death which protected him from barrage of senbon.

and for those who think that 64 Palms will shut Gaara's chakra network, seem to be forgetting that Gaara to is Jinchuriki like Naruto, means two chakra source, as in like Naruto, and more attuned to his biju, he too can call up on Shukaku's chakra to relese the chakra network (and than it will be a blood bath)

Rotation for Neji will all be about defence, as unlike Naruto, Gaara wouldnt charge headfirst at Neji. it is his sand which we do all the work. and there is so much Rotation that Neji can spam as he does not hold a candle to Gaara and his biju chakra.

Neji will either be dead in the firt round or put out of commision. second round does not even matter.

if by chance Neji survives and can still fight, then it will definitely be his end in second round.
