Hand Seals/Charge up: Both Arm Movements
Description: Using a large quantity of sand, the user covers the enemy with several successive layers of the material, before compressing it into the form of a huge pyramid which serves to imprison the target upon its completion. Sealing Tags can be placed onto the pyramid to increase its sealing power, or Shukaku can strengthen the seal with the juinjutsu that cover its body.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Arm extension in direction of shot
Description: It is a gunshot-like attack which uses Iron Sand hardened into minuscule grains to attack simultaneously across a vast range. The bullets are so fast that they are difficult to see. The moment the user has finished preparing the attack, evading it becomes extremely difficult. Using the repellent force of magnetism, the speed of the bullets is rapidly increased after they are shot. Furthermore, the user can also use an attack pattern where the Iron Sand bullets are shaped into sharp needles, increasing their ability to wound or kill the opponent. Since the Iron Sand has a magnetic force and is also drenched in poison, defending against this technique is almost impossible. This technique is especially threatening to puppet users, since the puppets can be rendered immobile if the sand gets lodged into their joints.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Both arms in air during duration
Description: This technique uses Iron Sand to create a gigantic sphere of branching spikes. The user first creates two masses of Iron Sand of opposing magnetic fields and then merges them together. This causes the magnetic forces to instantly increase and the repellent force created by the two opposing magnetic fields scatters the Iron Sand across a vast area.
The Iron Sand spreads in spikes that branch off irregularly, making it almost impossible to get a clear overview of what is happening. This also makes evading the spikes nearly impossible. Even if the opponent has managed to evade getting hit, the Iron Sand spikes will have filled the entire surroundings, cutting off any escape routes. With the opponent trapped, the user is free to attack in person.
With Sasori soaking the Iron Sand in his lethal poison, the technique is even deadlier, as one nick will bring fatal repercussions.

Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: Through the Magnet Release kekkei genkai, the user is able to magnetise anything he touches, and then subsequently anything that touches something he has already magnetised, and so on. However, the magnetic force weakens from object to object. Once a person has been magnetised, the user can manipulate the magnetic field in such a manner as to make any subsequent attack using a metallic weapon impossible to evade.
Toroi uses his Magnet Release to magnetise a large quantity of shuriken, which he then throws in the direction of his opponents. Any individual that comes into direct contact with these shuriken themselves are magnetised; as such, it is crucial that the opponent avoids all of them as even a single deflection will result in the production of a powerful magnetic field around their body.

Description: Rasa causes a considerable quantity of Gold Dust to erupt from beneath the surface, by placing both of his palms onto the ground directly in front of him, before manipulating the resulting substance into a wave of tidal proportions. The amount of dust produced by this ability is comparable to that of the sand used during Gaara's Quicksand Waterfall Flow technique, but as gold is the heavier of the two, the former was capable of nullifying the latter when they clashed.[2]

The user can control the size of the eye depending on its use. Its main purpose is spying, since it can form and disperse in any location on command. Gaara also uses it when he completely surrounds himself with his Shield of Sand so he can see what's happening outside of the protective dome. In order to activate it however, the user must close one of their eyes.[2][3]

Hand Seals/Charge up: Raising both hands
Description: This air defence technique creates a giant shield of sand that is suspended in mid-air by raising a great amount of sand from the ground. By gathering the best possible mineral-rich sand, the hardness of the shield is considered to be very high. Furthermore, the sand has its defensive strength raised by flowing chakra through it. It was strong enough to protect Sunagakure from Deidara's C3, and stop a lightened Tengai Shinsei.

Description: Using this technique, Gaara can cover himself in a compacted layer of sand, providing an additional defence should his Shield of Sand fail; combined, these two are known as Gaara's "Absolute Defence" (絶対防御, Zettai Bōgyo). Though quite effective, maintaining the armour requires a large amount of chakra and stamina. Furthermore, it is nowhere as resilient as the Shield of Sand, since it easily breaks away upon impact, indicating that the sole purpose of the armour is to absorb impact channelled unto Gaara's body during battle. Another weakness is the additional weight of the sand which leads to decreased levels of speed and mobility.

Description: This is one of the multiple offensive and auxiliary methods Gaara has thought of during combat. It is a trick where he uses the chakra-enhanced sand to support his own weight and float in mid-air and to use as a method of transportation if needed. By increasing the size of the platform Gaara can transport others along with him or even grant some one else their own platform of sand to fly on, as seen in the case of the other Kage, where this ability became a key aspect of evasion and transportation in the Fourth Shinobi World War. This technique apparently uses very little chakra, as Gaara stated riding on the sand would help him conserve chakra.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Actually hands move as if they were the sand hands
Description: Gaara uses his sand to create hands, which can be used for multiple purposes including crushing, capturing, or restraining enemies or other targets. The brilliance of this technique is in the strength and sheer size which rivals that of a tailed beast. Once the arms lock onto its target, it is near impossible to break free, and one must resort to other methods. This technique was powerful enough to completely halt the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's chains.

Hand Seals/Charge up: One hand extended
Description: Gaara using his ability to manipulate sand, loosens the ground below his enemy and catches them in a maelstrom of sand. The swallowed enemy sinks up to two hundred metres underground, while completely unable to move a muscle. Then, the sand glued onto their limbs applies pressure on their whole body, so they can't even twitch a finger. The pressure resulting from being buried at such an extreme depth would surely kill any normal human, if not from suffocation, then from the fact that all their bones would break.

Description: This technique creates a massive amount of sand in the form of a wave, covering and "drowning" the opponent in an ocean of sand. From the sand Gaara carries in his gourd, he grinds the rocks and minerals from underground into a large sea of sand and manipulates it like a tsunami that engulfs absolutely all the things in his line of sight. This raging sea deals a lot of damage by itself, but one can further take advantage of the sand for a second and a third consecutive assault. Gaara can control the sand, allowing him to attack his opponent while they attempt to outrun the wave. This technique has the added effect of changing the landscape. It is usually followed by an area crushing technique to kill the trapped opponent.

Description: With his ability to control sand, Gaara encases his opponents in a large amount of the special chakra-infused sand kept inside his gourd, immobilising them. It can be used to suffocate an opponent or in preparation for a deadlier technique, the Sand Waterfall Funeral. This appears to be Gaara's signature technique.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Extension of hand
Description: A capturing ninjutsu that is characteristic to Gaara. Using ordinary sand, a perfectly airtight space is created, in which the enemy is captured. An enormous quantity of sand completely envelops the target from every direction and captures them. The speed, hardness, and scope of the sand depend on the amount of chakra poured into it. Gaara can fine-tune the sand's properties to the target's size and characteristics. No matter if the target is on the ground or flying in the air, it is almost impossible to escape from this technique. However, even if someone successfully escapes from it, Gaara can easily use one of his offensive techniques, like the Sand Binding Coffin, to immediately attack the target.

Description: Gaara forms a small sphere made of sand and compresses it to increase its hardness. The sphere can strike opponents with such speed and force that it knocks them unconscious. He can also change its trajectory, to strike down multiple targets. By using this one small bullet, Gaara was able to defeat the Suna Assassin Captain along with all his subordinates.

Description: This technique is used to create clones in the shape of himself or others[2] using sand as a medium. The clone's form can be changed instantly into sand, and the enemy's body can be trapped. Its many applications with long-range attacks can have it act as a lure and a decoy. Due to the properties of the sand, Gaara was able to use it as a trap, hiding Gold Dust inside of it.[3] This is where it draws the line with other clones.

Range: 10m
Duration: 3 posts
Hand Seals/Charge up: 1 turn
Description: After clotting together sand into countless small lumps, Gaara uses them to attack an enemy from every direction. Because all the sand lumps are controlled by chakra, it is possible to commence an attack without any blind spots. This technique is often used as lure in battle, distracting an opponent and leaving them vulnerable to an attack from below. In order for this to work, the enemy is first made to face upwards with the sand rain, simultaneously bringing their field of activities under the user's control. Then, a bold move is made from underfoot. To make sure the rain hits its mark, it can be combined with Sand Binding Coffin to immobilise the target.
Sand Required to Use: .25L per "drop". Sand must be in the air, above the target for use
Name: Sand Hail

Description: A larger scale version of the Sand Drizzle, Gaara gathers his sand into large clumps in the shape of massive boulder-like formations and then drops them from the sky on to his opponents. It covers a large range, making it difficult to dodge. Like the Sand Drizzle, the technique can distract the enemy with the aerial assault, leaving them open to an attack from below.[2]

Hand Seals/Charge up: One hand in an upward movement
Description: Gaara can form a sand pillar using the sand from the ground or by warping the lower half of his body into sand. Gaara manipulates the sand to suspend and manoeuvres himself in mid-air at high speeds. The sand maintains contact with the ground, thus creating a pillar-like formation.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Throwing motion
Description: A technique used by Gaara in his miniature Shukaku form. He shapes the sand composing his arms into countless shuriken, and he swings them both. Taking advantage of that formidable centrifugal force, the fired blades of sand change into dangerous weapons. Gaara creates and fires an uninterrupted succession of sand rounds, tearing everything in sight to pieces.
Sand Required to Use: .5 for each Shuriken. (Sand does not reassemble)

Hand Seals/Charge up: Closing of hand
Description: After wrapping an opponent with sand with either Sand Binding Coffin or Sand Drizzle, Gaara will cause the sand to implode and crush whatever is within it. According to Gaara, when used to kill a person, the death is so quick that there isn't even time for the victim to feel any pain. The pressure also produces a sizeable fountain of blood. Gaara can control the pressure used in the attack, which allows him to either break bones or completely liquefy an opponent.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Multiple hand closings
Description: This technique is a specialty of Gaara's, where he makes the land a stage for his representation. This technique is identical to Sand Waterfall Funeral in that the stream of sand crushes the enemy. But as far as scale goes, this is in a totally different league. One may be able to hold their own against a single attack, but multiple obliterations are where this technique shines. Gaara slams both hands down onto the sand, creating powerful shock waves that compress the sand. Anything buried in the sand is subsequently crushed.

Hand Seals/Charge up:
Description: A technique that is unique to Gaara. Whenever Gaara is about to be harmed, a shield of sand will automatically surround and protect him. The sand will react regardless of Gaara's will, even protecting him from self-inflicted injuries.
The defensive power and versatility of the sand is where this ability truly shines. In Part I, the shield was formidable in both speed and strength — capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and blocking fast projectiles. However, it could be defeated with extreme speeds and a great amount of brute force, as was the case with Rock Lee's Reverse Lotus. Later, in Part II, Gaara's sand shield became so fast that even Amaterasu failed to breach it,[2] and his sand shield became so strong that even the extreme force of the Fourth Raikage's Guillotine Drop failed to crush through it. The Shield of Sand and the Armour of Sand together were known as Gaara's "Absolute Defence" (絶対防御, Zettai Bōgyo), well known and praised by even Naruto, who had just witnessed the Third Raikage's defences. Even the Fourth Kazekage noted that it was possibly because of this technique (in reference to Karura), that it was possible that Gaara was able to be Kazekage at such a young age.
Gaara can also change the shape of the shield and its density, to increase both speed and defence. The more powerful variations of the shield is that of the Sand Sphere, the Shukaku's Shield and the form of Karura. Whenever one form of this defence is breached, Gaara has been shown to improve and create other more powerful defences.
Gaara can also completely surround himself in the shield to further increase his defensive capabilities.[3] He then uses the Third Eye to watch his opponents' movements and control sand as necessary to battle them. In addition to being extremely dense, this sand-sphere can form spikes from its surface to spear any would-be attacker. This formation can be used in mid-air. In Part I, Gaara can use this technique to shield himself from his opponent long enough to perform his transformation into Shukaku, though with sufficient force, this defence can be breached.

Description: With his ability to control sand, Gaara encases his opponents in a large amount of the special chakra-infused sand kept inside his gourd, immobilising them. It can be used to suffocate an opponent or in preparation for a deadlier technique, the Sand Waterfall Funeral. This appears to be Gaara's signature technique.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Extension of hand
Description: A capturing ninjutsu that is characteristic to Gaara. Using ordinary sand, a perfectly airtight space is created, in which the enemy is captured. An enormous quantity of sand completely envelops the target from every direction and captures them. The speed, hardness, and scope of the sand depend on the amount of chakra poured into it. Gaara can fine-tune the sand's properties to the target's size and characteristics. No matter if the target is on the ground or flying in the air, it is almost impossible to escape from this technique. However, even if someone successfully escapes from it, Gaara can easily use one of his offensive techniques, like the Sand Binding Coffin, to immediately attack the target.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Extension of hand towards target
Description: Gaara forms a small sphere made of sand and compresses it to increase its hardness. The sphere can strike opponents with such speed and force that it knocks them unconscious. He can also change its trajectory, to strike down multiple targets. By using this one small bullet, Gaara was able to defeat the Suna Assassin Captain along with all his subordinates.

Hand Seals/Charge up: 1 post
Description: This technique is used to create clones in the shape of himself or others[2] using sand as a medium. The clone's form can be changed instantly into sand, and the enemy's body can be trapped. Its many applications with long-range attacks can have it act as a lure and a decoy. Due to the properties of the sand, Gaara was able to use it as a trap, hiding Gold Dust inside of it.[3] This is where it draws the line with other clones.

Name: Sand Drizzle
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Jiton
Range: 10m
Duration: 3 posts
Hand Seals/Charge up: 1 turn
Description: After clotting together sand into countless small lumps, Gaara uses them to attack an enemy from every direction. Because all the sand lumps are controlled by chakra, it is possible to commence an attack without any blind spots. This technique is often used as lure in battle, distracting an opponent and leaving them vulnerable to an attack from below. In order for this to work, the enemy is first made to face upwards with the sand rain, simultaneously bringing their field of activities under the user's control. Then, a bold move is made from underfoot. To make sure the rain hits its mark, it can be combined with Sand Binding Coffin to immobilise the target.
Sand Required to Use: .25L per "drop". Sand must be in the air, above the target for use

Hand Seals/Charge up: 2 turns
Description: A larger scale version of the Sand Drizzle, Gaara gathers his sand into large clumps in the shape of massive boulder-like formations and then drops them from the sky on to his opponents. It covers a large range, making it difficult to dodge. Like the Sand Drizzle, the technique can distract the enemy with the aerial assault, leaving them open to an attack from below.[2]
Sand Required to Use: .5L per Hail piece. Sand must be in air, above target, to use

Hand Seals/Charge up: One hand in an upward movement
Description: Gaara can form a sand pillar using the sand from the ground or by warping the lower half of his body into sand. Gaara manipulates the sand to suspend and manoeuvres himself in mid-air at high speeds. The sand maintains contact with the ground, thus creating a pillar-like formation.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Throwing motion
Description: A technique used by Gaara in his miniature Shukaku form. He shapes the sand composing his arms into countless shuriken, and he swings them both. Taking advantage of that formidable centrifugal force, the fired blades of sand change into dangerous weapons. Gaara creates and fires an uninterrupted succession of sand rounds, tearing everything in sight to pieces.
Sand Required to Use: .5 for each Shuriken. (Sand does not reassemble)

Hand Seals/Charge up: Closing of hand
Description: After wrapping an opponent with sand with either Sand Binding Coffin or Sand Drizzle, Gaara will cause the sand to implode and crush whatever is within it. According to Gaara, when used to kill a person, the death is so quick that there isn't even time for the victim to feel any pain. The pressure also produces a sizeable fountain of blood. Gaara can control the pressure used in the attack, which allows him to either break bones or completely liquefy an opponent.

Hand Seals/Charge up: Multiple hand closings
Description: This technique is a specialty of Gaara's, where he makes the land a stage for his representation. This technique is identical to Sand Waterfall Funeral in that the stream of sand crushes the enemy. But as far as scale goes, this is in a totally different league. One may be able to hold their own against a single attack, but multiple obliterations are where this technique shines. Gaara slams both hands down onto the sand, creating powerful shock waves that compress the sand. Anything buried in the sand is subsequently crushed.

Description: A technique that is unique to Gaara. Whenever Gaara is about to be harmed, a shield of sand will automatically surround and protect him. The sand will react regardless of Gaara's will, even protecting him from self-inflicted injuries.
The defensive power and versatility of the sand is where this ability truly shines. In Part I, the shield was formidable in both speed and strength — capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and blocking fast projectiles. However, it could be defeated with extreme speeds and a great amount of brute force, as was the case with Rock Lee's Reverse Lotus. Later, in Part II, Gaara's sand shield became so fast that even Amaterasu failed to breach it,[2] and his sand shield became so strong that even the extreme force of the Fourth Raikage's Guillotine Drop failed to crush through it. The Shield of Sand and the Armour of Sand together were known as Gaara's "Absolute Defence" (絶対防御, Zettai Bōgyo), well known and praised by even Naruto, who had just witnessed the Third Raikage's defences. Even the Fourth Kazekage noted that it was possibly because of this technique (in reference to Karura), that it was possible that Gaara was able to be Kazekage at such a young age.
Gaara can also change the shape of the shield and its density, to increase both speed and defence. The more powerful variations of the shield is that of the Sand Sphere, the Shukaku's Shield and the form of Karura. Whenever one form of this defence is breached, Gaara has been shown to improve and create other more powerful defences.
Gaara can also completely surround himself in the shield to further increase his defensive capabilities.[3] He then uses the Third Eye to watch his opponents' movements and control sand as necessary to battle them. In addition to being extremely dense, this sand-sphere can form spikes from its surface to spear any would-be attacker. This formation can be used in mid-air. In Part I, Gaara can use this technique to shield himself from his opponent long enough to perform his transformation into Shukaku, though with sufficient force, this defence can be breached.
