Talk:Shikamaru Hiden: A Cloud Drifting in Silent Darkness

Some details for the future
Soku uses a technique known as "Chakra Needle". Not sure if the name is official or it's just a vague description (maybe someone can dig up some research?). The main villain, Gengo, is a Sensor Type.--Omojuze (talk) 21:28, March 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Gengo uses an unnamed genjutsu through his eyes, making it a dōjutsu, on a person's thoughts and plunge them into delusions.--Omojuze (talk) 09:13, March 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * As of the latest chapter (14), it is known that Gengo, in my own words, interlaces his voice with chakra, in order to put others into a genjutsu (Talk-no-Jutsu is real!). The fact that he was able to catch Shikamaru without him noticing is impressive. -- Questionaredude (talk) 05:27, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

Sai?
With Sai being in the league with the Enlightened Ones, should we list him as a Missing-Nin and affiliated with Land of Silence/listing one of his teams as "Enlightened Ones"?--Omojuze (talk) 17:31, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd say he shouldn't be classified as a missing-nin since he doesn't do so willingly. The others I could go either way with. ~SnapperTo 18:09, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, Sai used something akin to Flying Swallow by letting chakra flow though his weapon, increasing its strength tenfold. Would this classify him as a user?--Omojuze (talk) 18:14, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Flying Swallow needs Asuma's knucks. Without them it's standard chakra flow. ~SnapperTo 18:20, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Not to revive a dead discussion, but according to the databook and the anime, it does not. Depends on how you feel adding it though, I'm fine either way.--Omojuze (talk) 17:06, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * There has to be some difference between the Flying Swallow and chakra flow, otherwise they'd be the same thing, which, no matter how vague the databook entry may be, is obviously nobody's intention. ~SnapperTo 17:34, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe the only different is that Flying Swallow has Shape Transformation in it, with it being shaping the chakra into a blade-like form. At least that's what I get from reading the description. Not quite remember if Sai's blade was just coated in simple chakra or the chakra changed form though.--Omojuze (talk) 17:37, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
