Round 1: Both at the beginning of Shippuden. So, the Sasuke that we first see in Orochimaru’s hideout after Tenshi Bridge vs the Gaara that fought Deidara. Since they fought each other in the Chunnin exams and Sasuke was weaker than that Gaara, I wonder how they scale going into early Shippuden.

Round 2: Sasuke has absorbed Orochimaru. Gaara has also lost Shukaku. I feel Sasuke takes this mid to high diff given he gave Deidara a better fight

Round 3: Hebi Sasuke that fought Itachi and the War Arc Gaara that is more emotionally stable and has better control over his sand. I feel this Gaara is actually stronger than his Jinchuriki version

Bonus Round: 5KS version of both characters. I really wish we had gotten that fight to see where both had gone since their P1 fight.
