Ok but also.........the fact that Gaara is actually the squad leader here implies that he is no longer genin and is at least chunin at this point...
Kawaki comparing his training sessions with Jigen to the one he saw with Boruto and Naruto.......
I think the reason why Gaara was so weakened at this point was that he had still not recovered from having half his chakra swiped by Urashiki and then getting battered by Momoshiki shortly afterwards.....
every since the battle with Momoshiki Gaara has been using this like tendril/spiderweb technique with his sand which I find interesting.....like it gives him finer control I guess???
