Derived jutsu Sand Taijutsu Tsunami
Users Gaara

This jutsu sends a massive amount of sand towards an opponent in the form of a wave, covering and "drowning" them in an ocean of sand. In addition to the wave effect of the jutsu, Gaara can control the sand, allowing him to attack his opponent while they attempt to outrun the wave. When Gaara used it against Kimimaro, it was shown that the technique can be so powerful as to change the landscape, as Gaara turned acres of forest land into nothing but a desert with occasional trees. This appears to be the only one of Gaara's moves that requires hand seals (not counting Feigning Sleep Technique), and in practice is virtually unavoidable. It is usually followed by an area crushing technique to kill the opponent.
