Iron Sand

The Iron Sand is the name of the weapon used by the Third Kazekage, in combination with his unique ability to convert chakra into magnetic forces. When imitating the sand techniques of the One-Tailed Shukaku's host, he used iron powder instead, thanks to his special magnetic powers. He often molded the iron powder into weapons, and used them as his main mode of attack. 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 effect. Chiyo referred to this technique as "the most feared weapon in the history of Sunagakure". After Sasori turned the Third Kazekage into a human puppet, he too became a user of the Iron Sand.

Trivia

 * When Sasori made the Kazekage into a puppet he drenched the sand in poison in order to make it a more powerful attack.
