He couldn't hold the Mizukage in his sand burial, despite it being one of his stronger techniques. So i don't think he'd be able to use the same techniques on Suigetsu.

It would lubricate the sand more than water, so it's less coherent (and Gaara's techniques depend on compressing sand for hardness and strength), but water effectively does the same. Lorenzo.r.2nd wrote: his sand tanked a nuke. I think compressing a few liters isn't that hard for him. Water is virtually incompressible. Also, it didn't really tank a nuke, it deflected the explosion upwards. While impressive, it's not like he absorbed the full force of a giant explosion.
