First Performed by: Nara Shikamaru Type of Technique: NinJutsu Chapter: 55 Known in the old days as the Kageshibari no Jutsu (Shadow Freeze Technique), this is a Ninjutsu technique that allows the user to extend their shadow and connect with another person's, or many people's shadows. Once the connection is made, the ninja has around five minutes of control of their opponent's body. Every move they make, their opponent will reflect, and vice-versa. Unlike the Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique), this jutsu does not harm the ninja using it when their opponent is harmed, unless they're harmed by an outside force and the movement made could hurt the user, such as an arm breaking or a quick neck jerk. Also, this technique allows the ninja to manipulate their shadow in many ways, such as size and shape, allowing them to take control of more than one person, or follow the shadow of an object to find their target. In addition, this technique uses already existing shadows to extend the length of the ninja's shadow. The combined total area of any shadows they use in conjunction with their own will allow them to extend their shadow to any length, so long as it always equals the total area of the shadows they are using. First performed by Nara Shikamaru in chapter fifty-five. His father, Nara Shikato, uses it in chapter one hundred and thirty-seven. This technique is exclusive to the Nara Clan. |
