Who is better, Gaara of the Desert, or Minato Namikage

I will go ahead and rebut his case, and then make my own arguments. In addition, I would like to ask my opponent to agree to this rule: No new arguments can be composed in the last round. This debate is about who is a better fighter. In essence, I will show how Minato can use his own techniques to match Gaara's. Gaara is untouchable in most cases. Indeed, this is true. However, it should be noted that Gaara's involuntary shield of sand can only protect in front of him, and leaves him exposed from the back [1]. If he wants to protect his back, he would have to voluntarily do it. In addition, Minato too is also untouchable in most cases. His Flying Thunder God Technique allows him to instantly teleport wherever he has marked his kunai [2]. He is the host for Shukaku, giving him alot more chakra than most ninja. Minato, as Hokage, would be undoubtedly a very powerful ninja. He too would have immense chakra levels as all Hokage have. Only another Jinchuriki can keep up with him False. Minato, with his special marking, could easily teleport to Gaara in a yellow flash, allowing Minato to always be able to catch up with Gaara. Minato's Rasengan would be useless against Gaara, seeing as it won't be able to penetrate his sand. I believe this to be false. My opponent admits himself that Sasuke's Chidori was able to smash Gaara's shield of sand. Rasengan, a jutsu which is equal if not more powerful in strength through Chidori, should be able to smash the Shield of Sand. My opponent's arguments have been adequately rebutted. Now, I will go ahead and make my arguments. I. Minato could defeat Gaara in battle. If Minato could defeat Gaara in battle, it would show that Minato is a better fighter. Allow me to begin. The battle begins, with the two fighting in a flat grassy field. Minato and Gaara face each other, unaware of each other's abilities. Who will attack first? I will show both scenarios. If Gaara attacks first, he would have to either use his sand, or engage Minato in taijutsu. The latter would be useless against Minato, whose taijutsu skills are above the charts [3]. Minato could dodge any sand attacks with his reflexes, and proceed to charge in on Gaara. In essence, this would be same as Minato attacking Gaara first. If Gaara attacked first, Minato could easily change the scenario. Minato charges in on Gaara, dodging his Sand attacks. Gaara would have to either use his shield of sand to protect himself, run in and try to attack Minato. The first would be useless, as Minato's rasengan could break through the shield of sand. Should Gaara charge in, he will lose. Minato could use the same tactic as he did when he fought Tobi [4]. Minato could throw a kunai. It should be noted that Gaara has still not noticed any of Minato's Space-Time techniques. Gaara, thinking the kunai a joke, would easily dodge it and try and attack Minato. Then, Minato could teleport to the kunai and slam Gaara with a kunai. As stated before, Gaara's shielf of sand can only voluntarily protect him when the attack is in front of him. Minato will be striking behind Gaara. Gaara would have to voluntarily set up the sand, but can't since he won't have enough time to react. Hit by a big rasengan, Gaara will be badly damaged, and be marked with the Flying Thunder God Seal. Should Gaara try and run or fly away to heal himself, Minato could easily teleport to Gaara, and attack him with another Rasengan. Gaara can't take many Rasengans, and would eventually be defeated or dead. II. Minato fights more nobly and morally than Gaara. Readers, I think this is pretty obvious, but I will go ahead and argue this anyways, and show Minato is a better fighter due to being more morally superior, fitting with the definition I have provided. In Part I, Gaara is cruel and heartless, and fights unmorally, which heavily contrasts with Minato's morality in battle. There are many examples during the Chunin Exam arc, but I will only show one example. During Stage 2 of the exams, Gaara went up against of Team Shigure. Instead of letting them live, Gaara cruelly killed all of them with his Sand Coffin [5]. Again, the fact that Gaara could kill someone so easily and heartlessly goes to show that Gaara is a less morally superior, and thus not better fighter than Gaara. Minato, on the other hand, has fought nobly. He was willing to die for his son and the whole village when faced against the Nine Tails, showing Minato's honor. In short, Minato is more morally superior than Gaara in battle. This would show Minato is better than Gaara, if one looks at the definition of better in this debate. ConclusionI have rebutted my opponent's case by showing how Minato could match Gaara's battle techniques, meaning neither would be a better fighter. However, I have shown in my two arguments that Minato is better than Gaara, both in battle and in morality.
