you are not understanding the manga. just because a technique has physical properties doesn't mean it is not both physical and spiritual. by definition all ninjutsu is both physical and spiritual because thats the sole definition of chakra, chakra is created by molding physical and spiritual energies together so when you say "Shadow clones involving the techniques such as the B rank shadow clone jutsu, water clone, earth clone, etc are physical. The E rank clone jutsu falls under Yin Release as it isn't actually physical" you are over thanking it. a technique is Yin Yang release because of how it utilizes both Yin and Yang to operate, Yin to create Form out of nothing, and Yang to breath life into Form. you see both of those explanations go further and disprove that oh a technique is Yin because it is physical. because guess what the definition of bringing form from nothing or breathing life into form is. it is stating you are doing A to B and A is nothing and B is form(physical) so both yin and yang can be physical. Not to mention there are techniques that are clearly Yang release(spiritual) yet still physical such as Four Red Yang Formation and Six Red Yang Formation.
