Background Comparison:
 * Seventh Kazekage: After studying the jinchūriki of Shukaku, studying Gaara's sand, Rasa's gold dust, and studying the Third Kazekage's iron sand he utilized its sand-manipulating powers by combining his own magnetic chakra and created copper dust, which produced the Copper Dust techniques. It was for this very ability that he was noted as one of the strongest Kazekage in the history of Sunagakure.
 * Third Kazekage: After studying the jinchūriki of Shukaku of the time, he recreated its sand-manipulating powers by combining his own magnetic chakra and iron powder, which produced the Iron Sand technique. It was for this very ability that he was noted as the strongest Kazekage in the entire history of Sunagakure.
