## Weaknesses

* **Limited Chakra Pool:**Like all characters, Gaara has a limit to his chakra pool. If he runs out of chakra, he will die.
* **Dependent on his sand:**Gaara is more dependent on his sand than his jutsu. He would let his sand do all the work for him. This makes him less experience in hand-to-hand combat. Stronger and faster people can bypass his sand defences, as shown with Rock Lee and Sasuke during the Chunin Exams.
* **Oil can make his sand heavier and harder to manipulate.**
