Sand Clone

This technique is used to create clones 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. This is where it draws the line with other clones.

In the anime, Sasori used a Sand Clone as a body replacement in order to avoid Kankurō's attack, although it dissolved after being hit.

Gaara is also able to use the sand to form clones of other people.
