On a superficial view it seems shukaku can manipulate 3 elements with sand we shukaku use a wind move but we learn from naruto that shukakus true element is magnet release.
Does that mean the sand manipulation we see is magnet release no. Magnet release is made up of earth and wind manipulation. So I think sand release just a manipulation of these basic elements together wind breaking up earth to sand as we see gaara have done before and manipulate them with likely combo of earth and wind release to see the effects we see it have.
But I wonder if shukaku can harness a tailed beast cloak like its siblings unlike the rest it takes shukaku the least time to transition to his tailed beast mode and the sand act as the cloak to protect gaara. We see bee has intimate control of his mode changes maybe a perfect jin shukaku user can harness its tailed beast chakra mode. Also unlike its siblings who are made of flesh it's made of an element.
