He didn't think of using Yin Release to manipulate shadows? Simple. Each nature has such a wide range of applications, that even if you can use every single possible nature, that doesn't mean you will necessarily create a technique using an application of a nature.

Boruto uses Wind Release to throw Rasengan and make it disappear and then reappear, Naruto too can use Wind Release, yet he didn't think or manage to apply nature transformation in the same way.
