I actually agree with Mut@t@. i rarely post and i think he brings up a very good point that kimmimaro was orochimaro's first choice, that should count for something. plus kimmimaro says he has mastered the "five dances" and if i'm not mistaken we have only seen two of his dances, the dance of the camellia and the dance of the pines. i for one would expect kishimoto to show us all five, so i think gaara is in for quite a fight.
