@ A DB Fan called Jake

Here is a better scan for it: https://youtu.be/10-QYjauPmc?t=395

Gaara buffered the blow using his Sand Shield, but even that wasn't enough to stop the majority of the impact (A small amount of Sand would not have the same effect as the huge mass of Sand Gaara used to stop the first meteor).

Also, we know that Gaara can percieve and react to Sasuke because A: He did so in the Kage Summit and B: He was able to, in THIS scan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBNriBWRfz4

Percieve and react to someone much faster than Sasuke- that being Madara. On top of this, the scan also gives ANOTHER durability feat: taking the mere shockwaves of the sword slash of Madara's perfect Susano'o (Which as seen, was enough to cleave a mountain).
