so we have seen several characters in the Naruto series absorb chakra, in theory shouldn't they be able to turn said chakra into a shadow clone of their opponent? now obviously it would require the user to create a separate jutsu that controls that shadow clone or atleast the person could add there own chakra into the mix. but logically speaking they should be able to create a shadow clone using the absorbed chakra. this would be very beneficial in that you could use your enemies jutsu against them. lets say you are fighting an enemy who you are having a difficult time defeating. but you land a lucky attack and in that split second you absorb a fragment of there chakra.

you then could take the fragment and mold it with your own chakra and create a shadow clone using that chakra, said shadow clone would have both yours and your opponents chakra and jutsu. allowing you to turn the tide
