Iron Sand


 * Name:
 * Type: Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Supplementary
 * User: Third Kazekage, Sasori using the Third Kazekage puppet,

A special technique used by the Third Kazekage. The Third Kazekage studied a host of the One-Tailed Shukaku and learned to imitate the power to control sand. However, when he imitated sand techniques, he used iron dust instead, thanks to his special Magnetic Powers. It is unknown the origins of the magnetic powers, but it is likely it has something to do with lightning element chakra.

When Sasori kidnapped the Third, Sasori killed him, and turned him into a puppet with his technique. When Sasori used his Third Kazekage puppet, he used the Iron Sand as well and put poison in it for special attacks. The puppet was later destroyed by Sakura Haruno and Sasori's grandmother, Chiyo.

When the Third Kazekage developed this technique, he was able to create and manipulate sand like Gaara. Using this he would form the sand into various shapes using his special Kekkei Genkai, magnetic powers, to crush his opponents or even mold the sand, making it a weapon to use. The Iron Sand can also clot up the joints of puppets, making them unusable in battle as long as the Third Kazekage's magnetic field is in function.
