Gaara of The Desert : Jutsu

Gaara is fifth kage from Sunagakure. He has a natural wind jutsu with a special ability to control sand, with sand whenever brought on his back, he can form a strong defense such as steel, which can not be penetrated jutsu. Or attacked by sand with a very fierce strength. The following are a few jutsu Gaara with sand.

1. Air Strike Protective Wall
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.

2. Armour of Sand
Using this technique, Gaara can cover himself in a compacted layer of sand, providing an additional defence should his Shield of Sand fail; combined together, 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.

3. Desert Suspension

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.



4. Desert Layered Imperial Funeral ( Manga only ) 
Using a large quantity of his sand, Gaara covers the enemy with several successive layers of the material, before compressing it into the form of a huge pyramid which acts to imprison the target upon its completion.

5. Feigning Sleep Technique
This ninjutsu forces the user to fall asleep. Gaara has only used this technique when trying to bring out Shukaku.

6. Prison Sand Burial

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 meters 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.

7. Quicksand Waterfall Technique
This technique sends a massive amount of sand  towards an opponent in the form of a wave, covering and "drowning" them 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 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.

8. Sand Binding Coffin

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.

9. Sand Binding Prison
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 capture 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.

10. Sand Bullet
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.
