I think it constitutes elemental blending of earth and wind...perhaps there are jutsu of the tech that only a host can do? But what remains after bijuu extraction?

the issue is more convoluted that it seems. Or perhaps I just comlicate it? I am just going by what I have seen and made of the manga. Suna Shinobi do use sand to aid them in battle, but it is not by manipilating it. They do such things as perform a fuuton jutsu that would carry the sand to blind an opponent or make the footing hold more loss. As for actually manipilating it to the degree that the host of the one-tail can I don't believe that can be taught in such a way. After all the Kazekage did create the Iron-Sand to copy this trait... I believe that through the magnetic release the Suna Shinobi are granted similar powers to the one-tail's host.

Even if it could be taught that doesn't matter much in this case I would have to think sense the method it was learned was via the Biju. By the terms of it having been/ being a trait of a tailed beast it should not be able to be enhanced according to the rules pertaining to the Biju and thier host.

I am not argueing that one could not be smart enough to do so, but the simple fact you aren't allowed to tamper with the Biju's affinities point blank.

Not to mention there is already a canon KG that takes water from things, Scorch Release, in almost the same fasion.

I mean if this is allowed then what stops host such as Nathan from evolving the Kg granted from the four-tails into a KT? It would be breakign the Biju rules would it not?

I am not really against this KT as a whole or if the powers of the one-tail should be granted to the user. It is the fact that the sand manipilation is giving these non-canon properties which goes agianst the rules ~As opposed to ordinary sand manipulation, this kekkei tōta allows for a greater variety of abilities.
