Firstly deconstructing the sand from his gourd, the user's body also changes into sand. In this form, the user is invulnerable to damage and can travel long distances as a rushing sandstorm. It can also be applied in battle, transforming parts of the body to increase maneuverability on the battlefield.
The subject and all its gear become a whirling sandstorm. Its material armor (including natural armor) becomes worthless, though its size, Dexterity, deflection bonuses, and armor bonuses from force effects still apply. The subject becomes immune to physical damage and becomes immune to poison and critical hits. It can’t attack or cast jutsu with verbal, somatic, material, or focus components while in Sand Body form. (This does not rule out the use of certain jutsu that the subject may have prepared using the feats Silent Spell, Still Spell, and Eschew Materials.) The subject also loses abilities that are dependent upon a physical feature (such as the Sharingan genjutsu) while in Sand Body form. If it has a touch based jutsu ready to use, that jutsu is discharged harmlessly when the gaseous form spell takes effect.
A gaseous creature can’t run, but it can fly at a speed of 50 feet (maneuverability perfect). It can pass through small holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks, with all it was wearing or holding in its hands, as long as the spell persists. The creature is subject to the effects of wind, and it can’t enter water or other liquid. It also can’t manipulate objects or activate items, even those carried along with its gaseous form. Continuously active items remain active, though in some cases their effects may be moot.
