<p>Which guys? I don't consider myself as biased in my response. Gaara's "siblings" Kankuro and Temari were scared of him back then. Still, they easily finished off a couple of Sound Four guys (Sakon/Ukon and Tayuya) who were led by Kimimaro and equally scared of him.
</p><p>Yes, Gaara is nearly killed by Kimimaro (and saved by plotlines) but he makes him work his ass off for it nonetheless. It stands to reason if 2+ years go by since that fight and we hit the Summit, Gaara will develop further as a ninja. I believe he will have it in him to beat a guy who has no more techniques than he did during their first battle, the only thing having changed about him at all is being in perfect health.
</p><p>That is why I directly asked you which version of Kimimaro it would be earlier in this thread. So I would be better informed to reply. Because a Kimimaro who didn't die, was allowed to develop for 2+ more years like Gaara and had perfect health would have stomped the Summit version Gaara. But I don't think a healthy Kimimaro at the stage of development he was when he died would.
</p><p>All I ask is you please don't call me biased.
