Gaara's strength is so underrated
People gotta understand that Gaara is just fundamentally a bad matchup for most characters in Naruto
War arc Gaara is pretty much impossible to touch unless you have some hax ability.
His sand has numerous speed feats and is hard as hell to break. Even if you do penetrate his sand shield with crazy attack power or bypass it with crazy speed, he still has his sand armor he always wears as a second layer of defense.
Gaara can FLY (people need to realize how big of an advantage flight is in the Narutoverse), and basically if his sand grabs a limb or immobilizes you in any way, you damn near instantly get crushed or drowned. Even having a very rigid durable body or incredible healing capabilities doesn't mean anything if he can just drag you a hundred meters underground and bury you in seconds.
Last but not least, Gaara has sealing to deal with edo tenseis, which is another ability that many strong characters don't have. Gaara is just fundamentally an impossible person to fight for most of the cast in this universe.
