Iron Sand

Iron Sand ( 砂鉄 , Satetsu , literally meaning: Sand Iron) is the most feared weapon in the history of Sunagakure , which was developed by the Third Kazekage .

## Overview [ ]

After studying the sand manipulation abilities of Shukaku 's jinchūriki , the Third Kazekage was able to imitate this ability using iron powder instead of sand, and his special magnetic powers . He often moulded the iron powder into weapons and used them as part of his main fighting style .

When used in sufficient quantities, this iron sand can be equipped in various ways in order to create useful techniques ranging from large structures to bullet-like particles and multiple striking branches . Sasori took full advantage of this through the use of his puppet of the Third Kazekage.

The iron sand can also clog up the joints of puppets , making them unusable in battle as long as the user's magnetic field is in effect, even bypassing a Chakra Shield .

Shinki is able to control and change the shape of the iron sand through an electromagnetic field .

Being a clone of Shinki, Ryū is able to control iron sand, but instead creates his own through his Claw Mark created clothing, which is a combination of iron from his blood mixed with his chakra .
