Talk:Earth Release: Shadow Clone

This technique is only shown in the anime. It is NOT shown in the manga (At least not by either Orochimaru or Hiruzen).

Not a Clone

Continuing from what was said above, I think it is a clone when Orochimaru used in the Forest of Death. When Hiruzen uses it against Orochimaru, Orochimaru does say it's a substitute, but I'm not sure it's the same when Orochimaru says it. Anyway, in the latest episode, when the Kumo guy uses it, Neji calls it an Earth Release Shadow Clone. Was "Earth Clone Technique" ever actually said? If not, we need to rename this article.

 * The name of the technique was never said in the anime, so it should be moved.--Deva 27 (talk) 17:29, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
