About the Sand village turmoil part. The way people reacted to the grimes turning people into trees, it seemed it was not known before. And code probably wouldn't simultaneously attack two villages. Even he isn't that stupid. So only way Gaara could have been Tree-fied before Konoha's attack would be if they withheld that info. Which seems unlikely and illogical. Unless there was some serious falling out between the Sand and the rest of the 5 villages that we don't know about. So only logical way I can see Gaara being turned into Shinju is in the future tbh.Actually you are right. If Gaara had been bitten by the Juubi, there would have been signs of turmoil in the Sand Village. However, for now, the author may only want to tell what happened in Konoha in 2 years, or he may want to surprise the readers with something like Jura turning out to be Gaara, so he did not show the Sand village at all for 5 chapters. But most likely Jura will be either Monk Jigen or someone we've never seen before.
