Talk:Shadow Clone Technique

where did you get those hand seals. From what ive seen, it appears that the shadow clone uses a single handseal unlike those on the page.

Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu
It seems that Ninjas can make shadow clones of objects, not just themselves. When fighting Orochimaru the 3rd Hokage threw a single shuriken and then made multiple copies of it to turn it into a swarm (Chapter 117).

Should we mention this?

Jutsu Level
I thought the Shadow Clone Jutsu was a Jonin Level Technique. Izumo Kamizuki said that in Naruto Episode 60 when Naruto went up against Neji in the Chunin Finals. - Zero - Talk 11:49, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Gaara fight
It says that he made 1999 clones using the fox's chakra, but Naruto doesn't use the fox's chakra until he needs to summon gamabunta, meaning that he can create 1999 clones with his own chakra reserves

Chakra
Based of what is stated in chapter 433, pg 9. It is safe to say that at the dispelling of shadow Clones that any chakra remaining since their creation goes back the user when dispelled. SuperN 15:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Guy
When Guy disappears after talking to Lee and Team 7 in episode 22, he disappears like shadow clones do. Is there anything to that, or am I just imagining things? Hakinu talk 11:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, they dont show much about guys abilities, other that taijutsu...Apparently he can summon, but he did it only once....he can probably use ninjutsu, as lee was the first person to graduate frm the academy, with taijutsu alon, but i think he's stickin to taijutsu, to make lee feel better, and to prove u dont need ninjutsu....so, ya he prob can use it...ost jounin's can....but i dont think we'll evr find out, unless he fights an opponent that fources him to use ninjutsu..AlienGamer | Talk 11:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I would guess that it was the Body Flicker Technique. Jacce | Talk 12:06, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That would make sense. /Agree Hakinu talk 12:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Chapter 412, page 9.
Fukusaku says that it would be the end of naruto if any of his clones turn into frogs. Also, shouldn't this be listed as a training method as well?74.236.92.133 (talk) 22:26, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Distributing Chakra
Just to clarify something mentioned in the article, where it says that chakra is evenly distributed amongst the clones, is it referring to each clone having the same amount? Or does it work on the basis that if, say, Naruto makes one clone, his chakra is instantly halved? Or if he makes 1999, he's only left with 1/2000 of what he had?

Just saying

Naruto can put how much chakra he wants into each clone the chakra is not evenly distributed among the clones. The strength is the same without any cost but the chakra is decided by naruto.

Neji made it clear that the chakra was equally distributed between the clones in chapter 100 page 6.Jacce | Talk 09:35, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Shuriken Kage Bunshin No Jutsu
The shuriken clone techniquie is not as simple ans others ans you have to focus your chakra into an inanimate object to make exact solid copys of it.

It also uses up more chakra than you would think

Nagato
Yah, nagato Animal Path (or his summon uses it?) uses this in his fight with jiriyia, anime only. Also, remove Bunshinjutsu and see also and set Jutsu classification=Ninjutsu, Bunshinjutsu Simant (talk) 23:36, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Mistake in Multiple Shadow Clone Technique description
It is said in the article that Naruto needs the Kyuubi's chakra to make multiple shadow clones. That is clearly wrong. He makes multiple shadow clones using his own chakra, as seen in the very first chapter/episode, when he apparently did not know to use the Kyuubi's chakra.

 * Ebisu said that since the fox chakra is always mixing with Naruto's own, he has trouble molding chakra. So he is always using some fox chakra. Jacce | Talk 17:10, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Enma
I think Enma used this technique - it's a parent jutsu of Adamantine Prison Wall.--87.205.63.34 (talk) 21:31, March 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * The one databook translation I found doesn't make any indication that they're shadow clones. ~SnapperTo 23:14, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Deidara
When did Deidara used this? Jacce | Talk | Contributions 06:40, May 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * During his fight against Team Kakashi and Team Guy. He did it offscreen. 07:52, May 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Shadow clones are a component of Suicide Bombing Clone. ~SnapperTo 16:54, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Title in question?
I thought this move was called Kage Bushin no Jutsu. Why is it Shadow Clone Technique? I think the articles on this wikia should be refered after what they are called in Japan and not by what a dubbing/subbing company calls it because it can lead to confusion. We can say "in the english versions, it is called the Shadow Clone Technique" but the article itself is different. (68.36.166.78 (talk) 21:13, November 3, 2010 (UTC))

We use the literal translation of the Japanese names, save for some exceptions, such as techniques which are names of deities, Chidori and Rasegan, as well as their variants. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:08, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
