Sand Clone


 * Name:
 * Type: No rank, Supplementary
 * Users: Gaara, Sasori (anime only)
 * Debut (Anime): Naruto Episode 66
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 111

Gaara creates a copy of himself out of sand, although it lacks color and is immediately recognizable as sand. This means that it is almost useless as a decoy. Unlike most bunshinjutsu, the clone still retains its shape after it is struck, and can even ensnare whatever comes into contact with it.

In the anime, Sasori used a Sand Clone as a body replacement in order to avoid Kankuro's Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot, although it dissolved once hit.
