Mina, Shikamaru's "special" chakra is just Yin Release chakra. Or was it Yang? Dunno, one of those. I would saw yang or yin release gave the constructs (clay) life and the ability to move. And the reason why Sasuke countered the mines with lightning is because the mines are made of clay which has earth.
