A misunderstanding...........

Most people think that Gaara gets control over sand from Shukaku,but they are wrong.Shukaku only gives the body it posses the ability to have and grow back in a sand armor that protects them from certain jutsus.The villagers of the sand village have 3 choices for their fighting style.They can control sand by doing sand jutsus.They can use a fan to do wind jutsus.Finally,they can use puppets to fight for them.Just saying this to clear things up.Shukaku only gives its user to make and regenerate sand armor.
