Sand Manipilation isn't listed as a KG or any form of Release to the Narutoverse. Sand is listed as a tool that is used by the Suna Shinobi. If SL was to make it into a KG by stating it was a mixture of Earth & Wind then by SL terms it would be dubbed a KG.

However, improvising on that idea to create a KT such as Dry Release from a KG of Sand Release would be unnessacery, in my thoughts, as there is already a KG that takes water out of things, Scorch.

I could see this KT holding true value if it was manipilated threw physical contact. Such as you could touch a tree and make it wither away.

The simple fact of the matter though is as it stands this KT is derived from a Biju giving affinity. It controdicts two things Scorch Release & the Tampering with a Biju Rule.
