First Performed by: Uzumaki Naruto Type of Technique: NinJutsu Chapter: 1 Being a forbidden and advanced NinJutsu, few people know this technique perfectly. It is listed in the Scroll of Seals, but still some advanced ninjas (such as Kakashi) know this technique. It is similar to the Bunshin no Jutsu; the main function is to create clones. However, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu doesn't create fake clones; the clones created by this fearsome attack are real, and can deal physical damage. This technique is hard to master, because the chakra of the user needs to be equally distributed and used with effectiveness. Also, the strength of the user is equally divided among the clones, which makes it hard for someone to distinguish the original one, unless he possesses the Sharingan. Shadow clones disappear once they are hit though, but they can be made in large numbers so they last longer. A weak ninja can create many clones but weak ones; a strong one and one that practices this Jutsu a lot can create large quantities of strong clones. First performed by Uzumaki Naruto in chapter one, this is a Jounin level skill learned from the First Hokage's Scroll of Seals. Other ninjas who can use this technique include Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru, and Sandaime. |
