Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*:
**: Shukaku can use Wind and Earth Release nature transformations to rapidly fire wind bullets with enough force to level entire forests.
**: Likewise, it can combine its wind abilities with sand in order to produce a mass of fast-moving sand bullets.
*Sealing: Shukaku is the only Tailed Beast that can use cursed seals from its markings, creating a magnetic field to bind his targets.
**: Using a large quantity of sand, Shuhaku covers his enemy with several successive layers of the material, before compressing it into the form of a huge pyramid which serves to imprison the target upon its completion.
*Tailed Beast Shockwave: A tailed beast uses its massive chakra reserve to turn anything from a roar or a wave into a powerful force of pressure and destruction.
*: The Tailed Beast Bomb is the ultimate technique of a Tailed Beast and its Jinchūriki. To form the attack, they gather both positive black chakra, and negative white chakra, then shape it into a sphere. The ball can be fired differently, either in a spherical form, which can be detonated for a wave explosion or launched to form a dome-shaped blast which flattens and erases everything around it, or as a concentrated beam of energy which gives it explosive penetrative power.
