The Third Kazekage possesses a rare kekkei genkai — Magnetism Release, which he developed to absolute perfection. Having studied Shukaku's abilities, he created Iron Sand — his own version of sand manipulation. By combining magnetism chakra with iron powder, he forms weapons of any shape directly in the air: giant spears that strike the target from any distance, massive blocks to crush the opponent, and even clouds of the finest particles that penetrate any gap. His Iron Sand makes him invulnerable to metal weapons: any kunai or sword is deflected by the magnetic field. He is also capable of immobilizing puppets by clogging their joints with sand. This technique earned him the title of the strongest Kazekage in Suna's history.
