Aaaaanyway, this discussion won't lead anywhere anyway (what a surprise), so I'm gonna end it on my part. Do whatever you want with this thread. The manga doesn't speak against me at all. I have freely admitted Karura is responsible for the sand shield, but it's Gaara's body and quite likely his ability that fascilitates it.

When Itachi used Sasuke to attack Obito, a spare Sharingan didn't just form in midair and blast him, Sasuke's eye caused it.

And while Gaara might have no influence over the shield, the shield clearly has an influence over him as even when he wished to harm himself he had to fight against the shield to do it, so it's not only possible, but entirely likely that the rings are caused by the shield affecting Gaara's magnet release, assuming he has it.

Am I speaking bloody dutch or something? How am I not being clear about this?
