Yeah that's what I was referring to, just forgot the details. Lee thought he had Gaara beat, but it turned out he attacked a shell of sand that resembles the "replacement technique", leaving the real Gaara time to recover. Look at the video, twice they show Gaara in the bird's grasp, but it's black where there are holes in the sand-shield that always covers Gaara. I think it's a ploy, and the real Gaara is safely hiding. Unfortunately for Kankuro, he didn't heed his comrades' warnings and ran off to die. However... Temari is on her way home and felt that ominous chill. She just might arrive in time to save Kankuro. Hope none of what I'm saying is spoilers, because I don't read the manga .
