<b><u>Sand Mastery - <i>Passive</i></b></u>
Born attuned to sand, the Sunaku have long been able to manipulate sand with mere thoughts and shape it to their will. The Sunaku's natural affinity brings forth the true strength of sand due to their control, controlling it subconsciously as they act as the artist in a broad range of fluid combinations with sand.

Sand Manipulation - Passive
"With sand, anything is possible." This is a quote of the Sunaku that perfectly describes their adept control over this element. Their affinity shows perhaps the greatest control seen throughout the land when it comes to manipulation, for the sunaku can use sand to create any image they vision within their mind, whether it be a complex jutsu, or even a small weapon. Nothing is beyond their capability to create, and so long as their is ground around the Sunaku, they will never be without their natural element.

<b><u>Protection of the Sands - <i>Passive</i></b></u>
A unique ability to the Sunaku, their control over sand is so perfect that they need little more than a thought to control even the most difficult of sand techniques. At some point during the Sunaku's life, their skill becomes so great that they do not even need to think about protecting themselves, their subconsciousness protecting them even without the users intentions.

<b>Rank 2:</b> Sand has a 50% chance to reduce an oncoming attack by 15% damage.

<b><u>Blood Diamonds - <i>Passive</i></b></u>
Sunaku is their skill, and sand is their weapon. All shinobi keep their weapons in tip top shape as to keep their lethality at their peak, so to do the Sunaku. Naturally when manipulating their sands, the Sunaku add only the sharpest minerals from deep within the ground into their sand. These minerals allow their sand techniques to rip the flesh off the unfortunate victims that find themselves lost amid the onslaught of a sunaku's fury.
<b>Rank 1:</b> Jutsu Levels 1-4 can cause bleeding rank 1-2
<b>Rank 2:</b> Jutsu Levels 1-6 can cause bleeding ranks 1-3
<b>Rank 3:</b> Jutsu Levels 1-8 can cause bleeding ranks 1-4
Note:
- Works only with bloodline jutsu and sand jutsu

<b><u>Desert Nimbus - <i>Levitating Sand Cloud</i></b></u>
Using their basic control over sand, the Sunaku have found that by condensing the surface pressure of sand with chakra, they are able to reinforce the multitude of grains to become solid enough to stand upon, even when above the surface of the ground. With training, the Sunaku are able to levitate upon sand, whether it be in the form of a floating platform, or a grainy cloud. Though this allows them to levitate off the ground with sand, this technique is slow moving. While this provides a natural protection against close range combat, long range fighters can easily pick off the slow moving Sunaku levitating off from the ground.

<b>Rank 2:</b> User gains +1.5 melee dodge, -1.5 Ninjutsu/Ranged dodge. +6% chance of activating Protection of the Sands.

<b><u>Sand Streams - <i>Attacking Sand Jutsu</i></b></u>
Though the sunaku are capable of forming their techniques into intricate designs and methods of attacks, perhaps their most used ability shows little or none of the flair they are capable of. Using these streams of sand, the sunaku simply wills the sand around them to shoot forwards and and smash into their target, without the Sunaku's slightest motion. By simply standing still, the sunaku can control the sand to strike their targets in any manner, each attack seeming to lead into the next and making this ability difficult to escape.
<b>Rank 1:</b> Creates three streams of sand which each deal 310 damage at +1 Accuracy.
<b>Rank 2:</b> Creates four streams of sand which each deal 410 damage at +1 Accuracy.
<b>Rank 3:</b> Creates five streams of sand which each deal 410 damage at +1 Accuracy.

<b><u>Sand Mist - <i>Sand AoE Debuff</i></b></u>
Sometimes, the best offense is a great defense. In this case, the best defense is the one where no one can be seen. The sunaku are able to create a “mist†of sand by kicked up debris, rising off the ground in a sandy haze. The sand not only obscures vision, but it enters the body of the shinobi with each breath, causing an inflamatory sensation with each breath as miniature sand crystals cut the throat.
<b>Rank 1:</b> Creates a 19x19 Sand Mist that raises exhaustion by one level and gives -2 accuracy to all within. A Ninjutsu check must be made each round within, and if failed, any within take 430 damage from inhaling sand shards.

<b><u>Shield of Sand - <i>Sand Barrier</i></b></u>
Though they are always unconsciously protecting themselves through the use of sand, that doesn't mean that alittle improvement wouldn't hurt. This technique is performed by the Sunaku by manipulating sand to surround the user in a protective sphere, condensing the density of the dome with chakra to resist techniques. Though this prevents the sunaku from moving, this Sand provides excellent cover that can prove quiet a challenge to break through, should an attack find its way past their initial defense.

<b><u>Iron Sand - <i>Activated Passive</i></b></u>
Over time, the Sunaku's control over sand begins to expand with the deepening of their affinity. At some point in their life, they begin to substitute finely crushed minerals in place of sand, grinding the hardest metals they can find into flakes of powder. Sunaku are able to manipulate this Iron Sand just as they could normal sand, though this heavier metal is a bit more difficult to control, though gives all their techniques significantly more strength.

<b><u>Sand Beast - <i>Sand Shape-shifting Jutsu</i></b></u>
The ultimate technique of the Sunaku Clan, this ability fully shows just how deep the Sunaku's connection to sand extends. By gathering the surrounding sand around them into a nearly impenetrable dome, the sunaku are able to mold their sand into behemoth-like shape surrounding the user as if a large suit of armor. Fully able to control the this form with their mental link to sand, the Sunaku essentially become a living terror of Sand, standing nearly 20 feet high.
