Talk:Hidden Shadow Snake Hands

Kabuto
Didn't Kabuto use this jutsu? It says on the page that the snakes can come from other parts of the body...like your pen, er, pants leg instead of sleeve.

Anyone? Response's be nice.

Spoilers for 516 and the image suggest that Kabuto and Anko actually used the B rank version of the technique instead of this one. Anyone confirm or deny? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:49, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

The image does show more snakes coming from their sleeves than usual, similar to Muptiple Striking Shadow Snake. Though, this the translation just says "Striking Shadow Snake". So, I'll agree to this, but I can't say it's confirm. Oh, and sorry...I'm big fan of the dubbed rather than the subbed, so I like to use the English name for the jutsu.-- Ninja Sheik  22:09, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

It seems that I was right after all hahaha, it'd be odd if I were actually writing the manga.

Would Sasuke be considered to use this jutsu
In the manga, chapter 351, this appears to be the jutsu that he uses to restrain Suigetsu & Jugo. I just noticed that it wasn't listed among Sasuke's Jutsu, and figured that I'd bring it up for discussion. One thing to note it that this was still before Itachi removed Orochimaru from him, so I'm not entirely certain that he could still use it.
 * I think you're referring to Snake Authority Spell. —ShounenSuki (talk 21:56, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out. Can't believe I missed that. HOWEVER, When he fights Deidara on the C2 Dragon in Chapter 359, he looks like he uses the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands to grab the trees and pull himself away, which definitely isn't the Snake Authority Spell, since it produces two smaller (less thick) snakes from a single arm. The only oddity is that the Hidden Snake Shadow Hands uses Tiger >> Snake. While there are two *clap* sounds, which fit the two handseals needed, the seal he's seen making looks more like a Bird seal. (I wasn't able to find a derived Jutsu or similiar Jutsu from either of these that would fit).
 * It should be noted there is much debate over what the Bird seal really is. The seal Sasuke used is a seal that has index and little fingers raised, thumbs pressed, and middle and ring fingers folded inwards and pressed together. This seal is also used for the Multi-Size Technique, as well as the Shadow Sewing Technique in the anime. However, another seal is seen in the manga, suggesting it is the canonic Bird seal. This seal is actually, thumbs folded in and pressed, indexd and middle fingers folded in and interlocked, and ring and little fingers raised and pressed. Tobirama Senju uses this one seal to use the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, and Shikamaru also uses this seal for the Shadow Sewing Technique in the manga, which suggest this is the Bird seal, and the other one is only a variant special seal, as mentined in the page Hand Seals. --GoDai (talk) 23:52, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hand seals are unreliable and inconsistent, at best. They really cannot be used to prove anything.
 * The technique Sasuke uses in chapter 359 most certainly does look like Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, though. Enough to convince me that Sasuke should be listed as a user, at least. However, I would like to hear the opinions of other editors first, —ShounenSuki (talk 06:48, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hidden Shadow Snake Shoulders? ~SnapperTo 18:39, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, well, we never actually saw where the snakes summoned with this technique come from. It isn't that much of a stretch to imagine them coming from the shoulder. The rest of the technique Sasuke does is practically identical to Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, after all. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:12, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking at a few other examples, the snakes do seem to originate from any part of the arm; wrist, forearm, elbow-region. I guess anything a sleeve would cover is enough. I therefore concur with Sasuke's listage. ~SnapperTo 00:15, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
