OK so I was rereading the Land of Waves arc and I cam across this.

An exhausted and hurt Kakashi created at least 2 dozen Kage Bushins. Not the normal bushin jutsu, but kage bushin.

So yeah, ugh, what gives?

When you have people like Hiruzen who can manage 2-5 max

Tobirama, the technique's creator only capable of 2; although he was focusing his chakra on maintaining a barrier at the time.

Hashirama was able to create 8 wood clones (4 in the above scan with Tobirama) and 4 here.

Hiruzen was over 70, too old to use the jutsu

Tobirama invented the jutsu but wasn't in a position to master it and I'll bet one if his clones is worth 20 of Kakashi's.

Hashirama could use +20 wood clones if he wanted, and each of them was strong enough to use Susanoo as proven by Madara.

Um your point is?
You do realize that Kagebushin doesn't necessarily cost chakra but divides it up evenly.
2 dozen Kakashi clones = 2 dozen fodder.
Kakashi has poor reserves. After battle Zabuza once, he collapsed from exhaustion. In the rematch, one week later, the fight lasts just as long and he is able to perform Taiyu Kage Bushin. How does he have the chakra to perform that many? And he never uses kage bushin like that again.

I always thought he just did the normal bushin, which are images and not solid. But for him to be able to create that many solid clones... how?

Why ask a rhetorical question?

He divided his chakra but he wouldnt be able to fight. He tried it as a scare tactic, they would have immediately disappeared.

It was a bluff, that's how. As long as the bunshin did nothing that cost chakra he gets all his chakra back once the poof away.

Kakashi - "this might fool them"

They are weak ass shadow clones that were only meant for intimidation
Yeah, but why not use the Rank E "Bushin" jutsu, instead of the Rank B "Kage Bushin"? Both would've accomplished what Kakashi was going for. Recall the Kage Bushin is a forbidden jutsu because of what it does to shinobi who divide their chakra too much.

Hmm, is that how it works? Makes sense, if the clones do nothing; Kakashi would get his spent chakra back.
I thought they were regular clones.. I think the anime said so
I thought so too, but no. Anime has Kage Bushin also.

Let's go back to jutsu 101.

Shadow clone jutsu: split chakra evenly amongst real clones.

Meaning any number of clones can be made since they device equally.

Kakashi:100 chakra ÷ 9 clones + himself= 10% for everyone.

And so on and so forth.

There's something of note in the manga. Naruto constantly calls Tajū Kage Bunshin as Kage Bunshin. So from my point of view Kakashi may HAVE done a normal Bunshin but called it out as a Kage Bunshin. Kakashi isn't the type to waste chakra so stupidly even if the event he was in was near its end. After all he did say, "...it might fool them..." He isn't a master of deception for nothing.

Kakashi didn't make 9 clones though, he made roughly 2 dozen. Plus this was after he fought Zabuza again and sharingan fatigue.


Isn't there a minimum threshold to create a justu? Kakashi was in no position to make as many solid clones as he did, even though they didn't do anything but stand for a moment.

Their isn't a minimum threshold for jutsu, If one uses a jutsu and the jutsu leaves you with 0 chakra then the person will die

I meant in the sense that, you require a certain amount of chakra that has to be molded to perform a jutsu. As Ebisu and Kakashi explain in Part 1.
