With over 700 episodes, Naruto introduced tons of characters, but not all of them stood out for their strength or personality ...

Gaara’s Shield of Sand, once thought to be an ability granted by being a Jinchuuriki for the One-Tailed Beast Shukaku, does defend Gaara subconsciously if he’s ever in real danger.

Much like Naruto himself, Gaara had a monster sealed within him at birth. Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast. This caused the rest of his village to fear and outcast him.

Gaara, for instance, has a very distinct feature of racoon-like eye shadows, which is a consequence of his relationship with Shukaku, the One-Tail.
