| 砂金 |
Type of Weapon: Gold Dust
Weapon Description:
Gold Dust (砂金, Sakin; Literally meaning "Sand Gold"), is the name of the powerful technique utilized by certain members of Ranpugakure. Due to the diamagnetic properties of gold, small particles of it can be manipulated in a similar manner to that of the sand utilised by Shukaku's jinchūriki, through the Jiton kekkei genkai. When they use this ability dark rings appear around their eyes that resemble those of an insomniac.
Special Abilities:
In sufficient quantities, this sand gold can be fashioned into a diverse range of forms, with the most simplistic employed to attack or block an enemy. When used offensively, the user can to form dense fast-moving surges that can range in size from narrow streams to colossal waves, intended to injure a target by violently crashing the compacted material into them. However, when used defensively, they instead create thick barricades of the dust that are highly durable due to the sand gold's density. More complex structures can perform even more intricate tasks, such as observing an area from afar with the Third Eye.
In the past, this weapon was instrumental to the protection of Sunagakure during the Fourth Kazekage's tenure, by allowing him to effectively subdue Shukaku each time the beast went berserk. This was accomplished by layering his sand gold atop of or throughout the sand controlled by the beast. As gold is heavier than sand, it made it more difficult for the creature to manipulate, thus slowing if not stopping the sand's movement entirely.
It has also been used on numerous occasions as a trade commodity to Ranpugakure during particular economic strains due to gold's high value. While gold is not a magnetic metal like iron, nickel and cobalt, it is diamagnetic, meaning it creates an opposing magnetic field if an external magnetic field is applied, making it perfect for use with the Jiton. Gold's density is 7.3 times denser than silicon, the main component in sand and 3.7 times denser than magnetite, the main component of the Satetsu. It is also a very good conductor of both heat and electricity and is also very resistant to corrosion.
Notes:
Unique to users of the Sakin

Type of Weapon: Silver Dust
Weapon Description:
Gold Dust (砂金, Sagin; Literally meaning "Sand Silver"), is the name of the powerful technique utilized by certain members of Ranpugakure. Due to the diamagnetic properties of silver, small particles of it can be manipulated in a similar manner to that of the sand utilised by Shukaku's jinchūriki, through the Jiton kekkei genkai. When they use this ability dark rings appear around their eyes that resemble those of an insomniac.
Special Abilities:
In sufficient quantities, this sand silver can be fashioned into a diverse range of forms, with the most simplistic employed to attack or block an enemy. When used offensively, the user can to form dense fast-moving surges that can range in size from narrow streams to colossal waves, intended to injure a target by violently crashing the compacted material into them. However, when used defensively, they instead create thick barricades of the dust that are highly durable due to the sand silver's density. More complex structures can perform even more intricate tasks, such as observing an area from afar with the Third Eye.
However, it is not as dense as gold, nor as heavy. While this reduces it's ability to attack and defend, it is much faster than the gold, meaning it is a good way to unbalance a target or capitalize on an opening. This may also be used as a trade commodity like the gold dust, however it is not quite as valued as gold and is therefore worth less to the village. Silver is also the greatest conductor of heat and electricity on the periodic table, far superior to gold, making it very highly used by Sakin users.
Utsuwa

[/b][/center]| 器 |
Type: Bag/Container
Description:
Here | All Sakin users must have a means of transport for their gold sand correct? Well, this is the solution, a bag that works similarly to the gourd for carrying sand that the famous Shukkaku no Gaara used, while being far more practical. The bag itself is opened via a pair of zips, one on the side, one located on the main face of the bag. Due to the user's Jiton chakra nature, they can open the bag's zips without having to touch them, allowing for greater convenience on the battlefield.
Special Abilities:
The Utsuwa is designed to hold a maximum amount of Sakin equal to half the mass of an average human male, meaning it is of a sustainable quantity while not being heavy enough to restrict the user too much terms of weight. It also holds four pockets around the back, each containing a scroll, which can be used by the wielder as they wish, usually to hold more Sakin.
