Description: Sabaku Kyu is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. Gaara will cause sand to rise from the ground and wrap around the legs of his target, restraining them in place. The sand will then rise up to full encase the target. This technique alone can kill the opponent (he can't breathe) but the technique is usually used to prepare the victim for the Sabaku Soso.
