besides, if he can only use the sand in his gourd.....then he'd be screwed.....just consider all the times where he probably left at least a little bit behind (like when sasuke was pursuing him, he saw a trail of sand)
eventually he'd run out

and if you've seen gaara's final form.....i dont think he'd have even 1/100th of the sand it must take to form that.

Huh, hourglass... yer *truly* young... didn't even watch Big O...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
And, I think there's *his* sand and Shukaku's... Maybe, there are different instances, like 1. he can use the sand around 2. Gaara's own sand (the one in the gourd) 3.Shukaku comes with his own sand. I will assume that amount of sand=amount of chakra. So like Naruto has 2 diff chacras, one of his own and the other from the kyuubi, Gaara would have his two chakras/sand and the capacity to manipulate the chakra/sand around. Like regular chakra, that all would be interrelated.
Just my theory....

he was created with an incarnation of sand jutsu. for all we know, his own body can create more sand from chakra + shukaku can create it. I TRUELY doubt he can control any sand... and I think Shikamaru's sand hourglass was meant to be a bad omen or something. I could be wrong.... I guess... -.- but why would he control sand that was rooms away for no reason whatsoever?

how about the dessert then

just don't fight gaara at the beach.

i know what an hourglass is, but i dont call it that because i highly doubt it has an hour's worth of sand in it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

But his final form wasn't using his sand, it was Shuukaku(think that's how it's spelled)inside him coming out of Gaara, transforming him. Why would you think that Gaara needed sand to transform?

[Assertn]

well, because the sand in the gourd was what covered him to become his demon form
notice how when sasuke chidori'ed him, his arm fell off and it became sand, and then he grew a tail out of sand from his gourd, and then like 20 other things happened to make it look like the sand is what is turning into the shukaku's body?

[JTD121]

Hm....good point there. I dunno, maybe Shukaku was starting to give Gaara the sand needed to transform? Maybe the space inside the gourd is like an alternate dimension or something...

*turning hourglass*
Still thinking of a good answer for you...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

WAIT... i dont know if shikamarou's ability would even work in the night... He needs a shadow to bind, not just darkness. Without the sun, shadow is very limited.

[RockLeeisHOT]

this has been discussed before. night isn't complete blackness. the moon and stars emit light, which causes people and objects to cast shadows. Night time would be an ideal stomping ground for Shikamaru.... that is if he had a nonstop amount of chakra. which he doesn't

[Assertn]

but if his shadow can move freely among other shadows, then i dont think he'd need much chakra to stretch it to the target

[RockLeeisHOT]

I think he has to use chakra to move his shadow o_o. if he didn't, then his fight with Temari would have been easier and he wouldn't have had to give up.

[Assertn]

yes, but he could be just using chakra as he moves the shadow across non-shadowy parts of the floor.....which there was fairly decent amount of during the exam

[Gods_Son]

yes, he has to use chakra to make his shadow longer than normal. That is what the jutsu is, and the jutsu requires a certain amount of chakra. Connecting to other shadows helps him extend the reach, he doesn't have to use additional chakra to connect.
