The Shadow Sewing Technique is a technique unique to the Nara Clan. The user first extends his shadow by using the Rat hand seal, then creates shadow tendrils by using the Bird hand seal. The tendrils can serve various purposes such as attacking or binding an opponent and/or attacking multiple targets such as when Shikamaru used the Shadow Sewing Technique against Sai's drawn animals about to attack Naruto Uzumaki. After this technique hits someone, it can then be directly transformed back into Shadow Imitation Technique by changing the Bird hand seal to a Rat again.
