[Theory] Gaara has Jiton

[Meowazziel]

Jiton, also known as magnet release.
Gaara was the first compatible one of the three children of the fourth kazekage.
What made Gaara compatible?
The answer is jiton.

The third kazekage used Jiton with iron sand.
The fourth kazekage used Jiton with gold dust.
The kekkei genkai is among those in the kage line.
The chosen jinchuriki, are often people, who are closely related to the kages.
Gaara is the son of a kage.

The jinchuriki of Shukaku, needs to be able to control Shukaku's power.
That was their philosophy and they probably believe that you need
someone with the jiton kekkei genkai for that.

Just as Uzumaki's have been the ones who were jinchuriki of Kurama.

Shukaku himself has jiton.
As shown here, when he lends Naruto his power to make a jiton rasengan.

So I conclude, Gaara has jiton.

What do you think?
Yes, no?
Why?

 

[Cauzing]

As long as we haven't seen him using it, no. But it's highly possible.

 

[Sakuto]

Just because you're kage don't mean you inherit the power of the previous kage. Furthermore, he no longer has Shukaku so unless he was naturally born with it, he wouldn't be able to use it without Shukaku.

Gaara still can control sand even though this is an ability that originally belonged to Shukaku, also he was able to control the Gold Sand his Edo Tensai Father left behind to some extent. So it's possible he has a Jiton affinity, but maybe not to at the level of the former two Kage.

I never said that.
The kages could be closely related. As in family members where the Jiton kekkei genkai appears.
I said Gaara was naturally born with it, because he was the first of the three siblings, to be compatible for Shukaku.
Because he was the first with the jiton kekkei genkai. That made him compatible.
Please read more carefully.

Indeed.

Gaara's ability to control sand was not granted to him by Shukaku.

It was said to have been transferred to him by his mother while she was dying of complications due to his birth. This is why the sand protects him instinctively. It is a power granted through love. The same sacrifice (to a certain extent) that Naruto's parents did.

This is why he retained it after Shukaku was extracted.

Why was Gaara the first compatible one out of the three siblings?
He wasnt been given a power by his mother yet at that point.
Besides, him having jiton and him having been granted a power by his mother (only the automatic protect ability imo, not the ability to control sand in general), could be two things that he both has. They dont exclude each other.

Fourth Databook released.

Of course, Gaara has jiton. I formerly thought he used a certain form of doton but it's jiton. Proof below are taken from Gaara's wikia page.
Magnet Release(磁遁,Jiton;Viz"Magnet Style") is an advanced chakra nature kekkei genkai. This nature allows the user to convert chakra into magnetic forces and magnetize an object.

As a host of Shukaku, Gaara possesses the ability to freely manipulate sand, through the beast's Magnet Release, to serve various purposes.

Shukaku and its jinchūriki are able to use Magnet Release to freely manipulate sand. Due to constant effects of Shield of Sand, users gain black markings around their eyes.

I thought it was jinton

Well as you can see from the date that I made the theory (07-16-2014), it wasnt that certain back than.

But with the fourth data book being released, the theory has been confirmed.

No jinton is dust release and Jiton is magnet release.

 

[Cal52Nagato]

I guess you're right...sorry you took it that way. Was just replying your theory

I am just pointing out (to avoid misunderstanding) that I made the theory many months back, as you can see from the date.
Nowadays the theory wouldnt have need to be created, because the answer is released in the fourth databook, but like several months back, it was not known yet that Gaara had magnet release.

I am not angry or something like that if that is what you are assuming with ''sorry you took it that way'' .

 

[AndreJNZ]

Well, I was also one of the supporters of the Gaara-Jiton theories. After Shukaku gave his Chakra to Naruto willingly for the Senpo: Jiton Rasengan, it all just fell into place.

 

[Cal52Nagato]

You were right...in every sense of the word. We're cool
