Desert: Hand

A multi-faceted technique, Gaara uses his sand to create hands out of his sand. These hands can serve several purposes such as capturing, restraining and even crushing enemies, to creating a defence against attacks. Because of the versatility of the sand and its ease of form manipulation, the arms can vary in size depending on the purpose the user creates them for. When used on a larger scale, the hands gain claw-like appendages and dark vein-like tendrils running over it.

Trivia

 * While this technique was introduced in chapter 59, it was not named until chapter 660.
