What level of ninja was the lady who tried to kill him (I forget her name)?
Jesus, it was a guy and his name is Yashamaru...there were tons of posts discussing his gender, so please check it all under that name...
Sorry, sorry, just kinda forgot.

Anyways, the reason Gaara's normal form was better against Naruto was probably a combination of Gaara still being in control, and when he was in Shukaku form he was fighting the frog boss who is much smarter than Naruto.
