Wind Shadow
The Second Wind Shadow's puppetry and sand manipulation techniques had a profound impact on later generations. He also led the Sunagakure in their dedicated research on the One-Tail Shukaku. According to Chiyo, Shamon also died a violent death, the cause of which remains unknown. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Shamon was summoned from Pure Land to the shinobi world by the Sage of Eighteen-Person Summoning Formation Six Paths' chakra, appearing in spirit form. After Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed, Shamon, along with the Sage of Six Paths' chakra and the other 16 deceased Five Kage, used the "Summoning Technique" to transfer Team 7, the nine Tailed Beasts, and the dying Madara Uchiha from the Original Ball Space back to the shinobi world. Afterwards, the souls of the Five Kage returned to Pure Land.
The Third Kazekage, skilled in using "Magnet Release: Iron Sand," was hailed as the "Strongest Wind Shadow." He was killed by Red Sand Scorpion and turned into Human Puppet with a chakra core. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was summoned from the Pure Land by the Sage of Six Paths to help Naruto and the others return to their original world from another dimension.
The Third Wind Shadow of Sunagakure, he succeeded the Second Wind Shadow shortly after the Second's death. He became famous throughout the Shinobi World for his iron sand and was known as the "Strongest Wind Shadow." He had blue hair and yellow eyes, and during his term, he wore a white Wind Shadow robe with a blue ninja uniform underneath.
Ability Setting Broadcast Editing Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release: Iron Sand. Allows free control over anything containing iron, and also free manipulation of iron within sand. The Third Wind Shadow's unique physique allows him to convert highly condensed chakra into magnetism. The iron sand can freely transform into various forms for attack and defense, making it the most terrifying weapon of Sunagakure. Once it invades a person or puppet's body, it can completely paralyze them.
Furthermore, because the Third Kazekage's chakra possessed magnetic properties, magnetic weapons were unable to affect him. With this terrifying bloodline limit, the Third Kazekage earned the title of "Strongest Wind Shadow in History," but this immense power ultimately led to his demise.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Shigure. After the Third Kazekage forms hand seals [not yet], he can instantly summon iron sand like ocean waves. The iron sand then forms countless fine needles and is launched at high speed at the enemy. This technique has a large attack range, a long duration, and is very difficult to dodge, possessing extremely strong destructive power.
The real reason the Third Kazekage couldn't be found was because he was killed by Sasori and turned into a human puppet with a chakra core. This Human Puppet Third Wind Shadow not only possessed the Magnet Release, but Sasori also added puppet arms, gears, Poison Mist, and other weapons to him. Before his Edo Tensei dispelled, the Third Wind Shadow regained consciousness. In the TV original "Itachi's True Story" storyline, Orochimaru fought against Sasori and Deidara.
Sasori summoned a puppet of the Third Wind Shadow, but Orochimaru resurrected the Third Wind Shadow using the Edo Tensei. Even after Edo Tensei, the Third Wind Shadow retained his memories and consciousness. Enraged to see his own corpse turned into Human Puppet by Sasori, the Third Wind Shadow was then forced to fight Sasori's Wind Shadow, his consciousness erased by Orochimaru. Later, unwilling to become Orochimaru's pawn, the Third Wind Shadow released himself from the Impure Edo Tensei through his own will.
The Third Wind Shadow in spirit form: During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Third Wind Shadow was summoned from Pure Land to the ninja world by the Sage of Six Paths' chakra. Appearing in spirit form, after Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed, he, along with the Sage of Six Paths Five Kage's chakra and the other 16 deceased Kage, used the Summoning Technique to transfer Team 7 Konoha, the nine Tailed Beasts, and the dying Madara Uchiha from the Original Ball Space back to the ninja world. Afterwards, the souls of the Five Kage returned to Pure Land.
Rasa, the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow of Sunagakure (Sunagakure Village) in the Land of Wind, was the father of Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara. He was skilled in using Magnet Release: Gold Dust, possessing the formidable power to suppress the rampaging One-Tail Shukaku in the desert. He was assassinated by Orochimaru and died in the previous life. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi using the Edo Tensei technique. In his battle against Gaara, he realized he had only brought Gaara pain and felt remorse. He also sensed Gaara's growth and transformation, and entrusted the village to Gaara. He was later defeated and sealed by Gaara. Ultimately, it was Itachi who controlled Kabuto Yakushi to release the Edo Tensei, and his soul returned to Pure Land.

Karura, official full-color manga chapter 677: Red-Hair Rasa's wife, mother of Temari, Kankuro, and Yashamaru Gaara. She was gentle and kind, and always had a smile on her face. She died shortly after giving birth to premature Gaara.
Temari, the eldest daughter, is the older sister of Kankuro Gaara. She has a cheerful personality and is skilled in using the Three-Star Fan for wide-range, long-range Wind Release ninjutsu attacks. She later married Shikamaru Nara of Konoha and had one son.
Kankuro, the eldest son, is a puppeteer. He is characterized by his black jumpsuit and purple markings painted on his face, and he always appears with new puppet techniques. During the Five Kage Summit, Kankuro and Temari served as Gaara's bodyguards. In the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kankuro served as the captain of the surprise attack force. In the final episode's new Five Kage Summit, he still serves as Gaara's bodyguard.
Gaara, the second son of Rasa, was feared by the villagers as a child because the One-Tail Shukaku was sealed within him. Betrayal by his loved ones also turned him into a cold-blooded, bloodthirsty individual. However, after his battle with Naruto, he gradually overcame his inner demons due to Naruto's influence. Later, Gaara became the Fifth Wind Shadow, leading and protecting Sunagakure. However, he lost his life One-Tail Akatsuki extracted Shukaku, but was later revived by Chiyo. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he served as the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces and the Fourth Division. Yashamaru, his brother-in-law, was responsible for Gaara's protection. When Gaara struggled to control the One-Tail Shukaku, Yashamaru was ordered by the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow to assassinate Gaara, but the assassination failed, and he ultimately died by self-destruction.
After the Third Wind Shadow disappeared, Sunagakure mobilized the entire village to search for his Wind Shadow, but to no avail. This left Sunagakure leaderless, and the intense search led to war between Sunagakure Land of Wind, leaving the country devastated.
Rasa protected the village using Magnet Release: Gold Dust, a technique he learned from the Third Kazekage. Rasa later became the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind. The selection of Jinchūriki was crucial because the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was constantly reducing the number of ninja and the village's budget, forcing Sunagakure's fighting strength to decline. The Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow, Rasa, used Magnet Release to collect Gold Dust, bringing stability to the village.
The collected Gold Dust was used as village funds, which was also the capital that Sunagakure could use to trade with other countries. However, due to the death of Bunpuku, the previous Jinchūriki the One-Tail Beast, Sunagakure needed strategically to protect the country from invasion. The Sunagakure leadership found three Jinchūriki test subjects, but all of them went berserk. Rasa suppressed the berserk One-Tail Shukaku many times.
The selection of Jinchūriki: Later, at Chiyo's suggestion, Rasa personally supervised Chiyo in sealing the One-Tail Shukaku inside Gaara. Rasa hoped that Gaara could become the strongest weapon in the village and fight against the other major ninja villages. However, his wife Karura gave birth to the baby Gaara in a difficult labor and died shortly afterward.
Years later, however, Gaara also went berserk. Rasa considered Gaara a failure and, in order to determine Gaara's worth, evacuated everyone in the village. During this time, he attempted to assassinate Rasa multiple times, had Gaara corner Gaara, and Yashamaru to Gaara, claiming that Karura hated him. Rasa decided that if Gaara wouldn't go berserk after all this, then he would postpone dealing with Gaara.
As a result, Yashamaru's assassination attempt failed and he died. Gaara discovered that the person who came to assassinate him was Yashamaru, and after learning the false "truth," he went berserk.
Konoha Crush Operation Konoha Crush Operation: Amidst the Sunagakure's dire financial straits, Rasa realized Konoha's Yamato and the looming threat. He attempted to conspire with Orochimaru and the Sound Village to attack Konoha. However, Orochimaru, with ulterior motives, assassinated Orochimaru with the help of Kabuto and Kimimaro, impersonating the Wind Shadow. He successfully instigated Rasa battle between the Sand Ninja and Konoha ninjas, and Maki 'Rasa body wasn't discovered until after the Chunin Exams.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was resurrected by Edo Tensei technique along with the Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, and the Third Raikage. He retained his memories and consciousness, but his actions were still controlled. He was forced to fight against the Fourth Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces led by the Fifth Wind Shadow, Gaara. During the battle, he discovered a large group of Allied Shinobi Forces and several familiar faces, and was also spotted by Gaara.
Gaara then unleashed a sand wave. Rasa initially thought it was Shukaku's power and used his Magnet Shield to create a sand wave to counter Gaara's sand. However, after Gaara appeared, Rasa discovered that it was Gaara's own power and not Shukaku's. Gaara told Rasa that he was no longer the Jinchūriki he had created and that he had become the new Wind Shadow.
Rasa Gaara to reaffirm Gaara's worth. Gaara separated the Gold Dust from the sand and used it to bind Rasa. Rasa confirmed that Gaara had grown up and that he should trust Gaara. He told Gaara that the sand would always protect Gaara because of Karura's power and that Gaara had always been loved by his mother.
Rasa felt ashamed of his lack of trust in the power of others. Talking with Gaara, he realized he had only brought Gaara a painful life and sensed Gaara's growth, reassuring him that he could entrust his future to Gaara. Gaara, in turn, forgave his father. Rasa was sealed away by Gaara, and later, due to Itachi controlling Kabuto Yakushi to release the Edo Tensei, his soul ascended to heaven.
Rasa was later summoned back to the ninja world from Pure Land by the Sage of Six Paths' chakra, appearing in spirit form. After Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed, he, along with the Sage of Six Paths' chakra and the other 16 deceased Five Kage, used the Summoning Technique to transfer Team 7, the nine Tailed Beasts, and the dying Madara Uchiha from the Original Ball Space back to the ninja world. Afterwards, the souls of the Five Kage returned to Pure Land.
Gaara, the Fifth Wind Shadow of Sunagakure (Sunagakure Village) in the Land of Wind. Son of the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow, Rasa. He can freely manipulate sand, transforming it into various forms for attack and defense. After his father, the Fourth Hokage Gaara Wind Shadow, passed away during his youth Rasa, Gaara, at the recommendation of Maki and Yura, succeeded him as the Fifth Wind Shadow of Sunagakure at a young age, leading and protecting the Sunagakure. He was once nearly killed when Akatsuki extracted Shukaku from the One-Tail- Shukaku, but was revived by Chiyo at the cost of her own life. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Gaara served as captain of the Allied Shinobi Forces and commander of the Fourth Division. After the war, Gaara continued to serve as Wind Shadow and maintained friendly relations with Naruto and the Konoha Village.
Gaara is the son of the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow Rasa. After his father's death, Maki and Yura jointly recommended Gaara to succeed him as the Fifth Wind Shadow. (Gaara's attire and appearance are mentioned.)
She has short red hair and the word "love" is engraved on her forehead. She usually wears a brown cloak of Sunagakure, with a gray breastplate on top, and carries a large gourd on her back.
Gaara can freely manipulate sand, transforming it into various forms for attack and defense. His sand comes in two forms: one is the sand that his mother turned into after her death, which is a certain amount of sand inside the gourd. This sand is independent of Gaara's consciousness and automatically protects Gaara.
Another method involves Gaara using his chakra to enhance the surrounding sand and turn it into his own weapon. Typical examples include Gaara's battles against Kimimaro and Deidara. Although he has automatically defending sand, his major techniques all rely on controlling the surrounding sand with his own chakra. Gaara can also manipulate sand to achieve aerial movement. Under normal circumstances, he does not use Shukaku's power.
During the fierce battle between Gaara and Naruto, Gaara ultimately wanted to use Shukaku's power. He used the Sleep Technique to completely hypnotize himself, at which point Shukaku was truly released. This is enough to illustrate that Gaara needed to put himself to sleep and allow Shukaku to completely devour him in order to unleash Shukaku true power.

Sand Shuriken, Sand Clone: A ninjutsu that uses chakra to control sand and create clones. Attacks from these clones are neutralized by the sand, but the Sand Clone do not completely resemble the caster; they can only perform physical attacks and cannot form hand seals. Additionally, other substances can be mixed into the sand; for example, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Fourth Hokage Kazekage's Gold Dust and the Second Mizukage's hailstones were Wind Shadow in.

All matter in the area covered by sand will be pulverized, possessing the terrifying ability to further collapse the desert. Sand Waterfall Burial- Prison Sand Burial: Buries the opponent 200 meters underground.
Prison Sand Burial: This technique, known as the Empty Sand Barrier, consumes a considerable amount of chakra to create a massive sand wall to withstand attacks from the sky. Its hardness is such that even Deidara's C3 Eighteenth Punch, capable of destroying Sunagakure, cannot break it. Empty Sand Barrier: Sand Hand uses sand to form a giant hand for attack.
Sand Hand, Sand Monster Arm: Transforms sand into a sand hand resembling Shukaku's arm. (Named after the Ultimate Ninja Storm series of games) Sand Monster Arm, Sand Binding Prison: Uses chakra to control sand, burying the opponent in a large amount of sand; has a wide capture range.
The Sand Binding Prison Sand Waterfall Funeral creates fissures in the desert, engulfing enemies before covering them with sand. It then pulverizes everything in the desert-covered area, causing the entire region to collapse.
The Sand Waterfall Funeral Sand Prison Spear Attack involves first using sand to grab the enemy, then using sand to create a giant spiral sand gun above the Sand Burial, and then drilling into the Sand Burial from above to strike the enemy.
The Sand Prison Spear Attack and Sand Waterfall Spear Burial create a high-density sand dune hundreds of meters high to trap and crush the enemy. Then, the strongest spear— the Shukaku's Spear— is fired at the target at lightning speed from a distance, like a bullet. The Shukaku's Spear accelerates continuously during its flight to increase its power, ultimately piercing through the enemy within the sand dune.
Gaara often uses sand to form hands for attack or defense. This isn't just random use of sand, but a technique called "Sand Waterfall Spear Burial." These hands can grab ninjutsu or ninja tools, and even throw them back. In other words, these sand arms are not just physical; they also possess ninjutsu properties.
The Desert Shukaku's Spear is known as the hardest absolute attack. It uses chakra to apply pressure to the sand, mixing in high-hardness minerals gathered from the earth, thus forming a huge, hard spear that can break through all defenses.
The Shukaku's Spear and Shukaku's Shield are known as the strongest shields. They are formed by using chakra to pressurize and mix high-hardness minerals gathered from the earth into the sand, creating a huge and sturdy Shukaku statue to resist all attacks.

The caster can unleash a massive desert storm that sweeps across several kilometers, instantly annihilating dozens of Shadow Clones.
Wind Release: Infinite Sandstorm Great Breakthrough - Wind Release: Sky Bullet -Shukaku unleashes a massive air cannon filled with high-density chakra, powerful enough to destroy giant trees tens of meters tall.
Wind Release: Sand Wind Release - Gaara in his Jinchūriki state, in cooperation with Shukaku, is an extremely high-level Wind Release ninjutsu. It uses wind power to amplify the Sand Bullet's attack, allowing it to penetrate the opponent's flesh. However, more than causing damage, its true purpose is to bury the opponent in sand, suppressing their movement from within. The Wind Release Tailed Beast Ball is formed by compressing Yin and Yang chakra into a 2:8 ratio into a sphere, possessing immense power capable of causing landslides and earthquakes.
The Tailed Beast Ball is a combination ninjutsu/compound ninjutsu. Gaara first used sand to dig a tunnel underground to create a water vein, then a large amount of water erupted from the ground, trapping Urashiki Otsutsuki in the water. At this time, Chojuro had the advantage of terrain, and he took the opportunity to use Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique to amplify the water flow. The Tailed Beasts inside Shukaku One-Tail the Sand, who is irritable and warlike, and seems to have a bad relationship with Nine-Tails (the Nine-Tails).
Its Jinchūriki, to avoid being controlled by it, must be constantly on guard, thus easily suffering from insomnia and becoming mentally unstable. The Jinchūriki can use the Sleep Technique to put themselves into a state of sleep, allowing Shukaku's abilities to be fully utilized. Due to its unstable experimental status and the effects of insomnia, young Gaara was prone to losing control. Using a certain special ninjutsu, Gaara could become a fully possessed spirit, and using the Sleep Technique could fully awaken the One-Tail. In Part II, Akatsuki separated Gaara from the One-Tail, causing him to lose his life for a time.
However, Chiyo sacrificed her life using the Reincarnation Technique to revive Gaara, and Gaara thus resurrected. Although he was separated from the One-Tail, he did not lose his Sand Ninjutsu, which is characterized by Absolute Defense.
