And just for comparison, Shizune is able to use the multi shadow clone jutsu and almost match Naruto's number in shadow clones. Lightning Shadow Clone is unique in that it doesn't send chakra back to the user upon dispersing. That's why it took half his chakra, not because it was normal Shadow Clones. If it was a normal Shadow Clone, it'd send his chakra back to him once hit.
