Dean makes his way towards the training ground, where he would train a young student. However, this student did not require elemental training, but rather, Nara clan training. Dean knew about their clan's secret techniques, even though he wasn't a Nara. He had a good friend who was, and passed on his knowledge to Dean when he died. Nonetheless, Dean had a bag on his back, which contained a bunch of scrolls.
"Hello there, I am Dean Winchester of the Nekura Clan. Although I am not a Nara, I am quite knowledgeable on the clan's abilities, and I am able to train you. Now, to begin the training, can you tell me what you know about the Nara Clan? What do you know about their abilities, its strengths and weaknesses? Anything relevant to the clan can be mentioned. Oh, and don't be afraid to say anything. Oh, and what's your name?"
Dean asks, as he crosses his arms, and waits for the young kid to speak.

shikamaru stands up as he see his someone is coming, shikamaru didn't expect that this guy is going to teach him because he not a part of his clan.
hey, my name is shikamaru nara the son of shikaku the leader of nara clan.
OK, nara clan is a clan that part of konohagakure, nara clan is known for their inteligence and special ninjutsu that entails the manipulation of shadows through the use of Yin Release. Also they had a special relationship with akimichi and yamanaka clan which form an ino-shika-chou team under guidance of member of sarutobi clan. about the weakness I don't really know...

Remember, don't copy/paste. If you don't know something, feel free to ask, I'll make it as easy for you. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try on your own! Nonetheless, that's good. I'll give you tips on overall RP as we go along, yeah?
Dean listens to his young student, and smiles. He was indeed still young, and required a bit of a mentor to help him along. Nonetheless, Dean cleared his throat as he readied himself.
"Not bad, the Nara Clan specializes in a Hidden Ability, that can be classified as a type of Ninjutsu, which allows them to manipulate their shadows. These shadows are used in strategic manners in battle and the Nara Clan members are known to be extremely intelligent. They use their shadow manipulation in ways to entrap the opponent, strangle and even pierce them, as they basically give them "life" in a sense. This already tells us that the shadows pertain a certain "physical" nature, allowing them to pierce and strangle people. Its very interesting, and easy to understand.
As for strengths and weaknesses, we have to look at the concept of shadows itself. Let me give you a hint, and tell me what you see."
Dean grabs a scroll from his bag, and throws it towards Shikamaru. It contained some images, which would help his student in seeing what he meant.

as shikamaru hear his sensei explanation, he smile and say
so nara clan tech is being use in more of a tactical and not a head on attack righ?
then he see his sensei grab a scroll and throws it towards him as he see the battle he thought he got it?
ahh I can see the concept of shadows, if there is no light that means there is no shadows, if I fought in complete darkness that means I can't use shadow tech and we also has limit on how long we can extend our shadows.

"Indeed, its a very tactical skill, for example, you'd keep your opponent busy with elemental techniques, as you in the mean time, use your Nara clan techniques. As they are pushed into a corner, it would make the perfect finisher. As for your second answer, yes, light is both an advantage for the shadows, but can also be used against them. If there is no light, there are no shadows. Depending on where the light is coming from, you are capable of extending your shadow further, and with greater speed.
A nice example would be, dropping a flash bomb behind you. You aren't affect, but your opponent is, plus, your shadow gets a boost. Now imagine another scenario, where you are extending your shadow towards the opponent, and they use an element which is bright enough to completely eviscerate the shadow, or even "push it back" in a sense. There are two elements of the basic 5 which are capable of doing this, can you guess which ones they are?"
Dean asked Shikamaru. He was eager to see his response.

"Indeed, Fire and Lightning. Fire would create the perfect use against the shadows, and so would bright Lightning techniques as well. Remember this when fighting an opponent. As for your second question, we'll cover that when we get to the actual techniques. Nonetheless, my method of teaching actual techniques is as follows: I will explain the technique to you, then I want you to:
Try to use as much detail as you can, and try and think outside the box for the advantages and disadvantages for each technique, as they are each different. I will help you where needed. Any more questions before we start with the first technique?"
Dean asks, as he looks at Shikamaru with a stern look.
- Use it against my clone.
- Give me at least two advantages and disadvantages.
- Tell me how you would use the technique in battle.

"no question, we can continue"
"but could you make an example on how to use it, what is the advantage and disanvantage and how would it be use? please...sensei only for one technique OK?"
"it doesn't have to be shadow tech, I just want an example of it"

Dean listens to his student's request, and so he only smiles. He remembered a time when he himself also needed an example just to get himself going. He checked into his bag, and took out a scroll for Fire training. Fire would be quite easy to show this.
"Alright, no problem."
Dean says to his young student.
"Alright, no problem."
- Me explaining the technique: "The technique starts off by molding your Fire based chakra in your stomach, and then inhaling. You will then exhale, and release outwards several small balls of Fire, which travel towards the opponent. The technique is capable of inflicting quite some burns, and can be used with ease. Use it against my clone."
- How you would perform it: Shikamaru starts off by molding his Fire based chakra, and then inhaling with a deep breath. He then exhales, and releases several balls of Fire, which travel in a linear path towards Dean's clone, and incinerates the clone. This causes it to poof out of existence.
- How you would state advantages and disadvantages: "The advantages of this technique is that it requires no hand seals, and would be quite useful in close range since it can be done fast. Disadvantages of the technique would be that the technique is merely a D rank, and can easily be doused with minimal amount of Water, and it can only travel to Mid range, making it difficult to reach an opponent in long range."
- How you would explain usage in battle: "I would use this technique in close range, making it difficult for my opponent to dodge, and this technique can even be used to light Oil on the opponent. Quite simple to perform overall."
Dean says to his young student.

Dean was glad to hear his student's response. As such, he could go on with the training.
"Very good, now we'll start off with the first technique. Its quite simple, and extremely useful in battle. Using your special Nara clan ability, you will focus your chakra into your very own shadow. As you do so, you are able to extend your shadow towards the opponent, or even allow it to evade certain obstacles in your path. The real power of the technique comes in where you will cause your shadow, to merge with that of the opponent. Once the two shadows combine, you will be able to control the opponent's movements. By controlling, I mean, everything you do, your opponent will do as well. So you can take an explosive tag out of the opponent's ninja pouch (through controlling them to do so), and cause it to explode, for example. The possibilities are endless, and I need to think out of the box for that technique as to how you will use it against an opponent. Nonetheless, use it against my clone and follow the example I gave you previously. Try and use as much detail as possible when doing so."
Dean then throws the scroll towards Shikamaru to read, and then creates a clone afterwards for him to use the technique on. The clone dashes towards Shikamaru.

Dean then throws the scroll towards Shikamaru to read, and then creates a clone afterwards for him to use the technique on. The clone dashes towards Shikamaru.
shikamaru read the scroll that his sensei throw towards him, he quickly recognize the technique because it nara clan signature tech
"kagemane huh? this is nara signature tech so I will try my best"
as shikamaru see the clone dash towards him shikamaru draw out a kunai from his pouch then shikamaru start to focus his chakra into his feet, then he release the chakra into his shadow below him, he keeps a constant flow into his shadow then make it move towards his sensei clone. the shadow start to move towards his sensei clone then his shadow reaches the clone shadow as the two shadow touch eachother both of the shadow start to merge. as the shadow merge the clone suddenly stop dashing and just standing there. shikamaru smile and he move his hand to throw a kunai that he's been holding before as shikamaru move his hand the clone also do the same thing. as the kunai flying towards the clone it cant dogde it because of it has been possesed by shikamaru shadow. the kunai flying and hit the clone body. as the kunai hit the clone body the clone disperses.
"now about the advantage and disadvantage"
"the advantage of this technique is it can be use quickly and doesn't require hand seal also it could completely restrict the movement of the opponent. Disadvantage of this technique is that it can only be used in mid range so if the opponent is out of range it wouldn't have effect them and this technique can be broken easily because it only a D-rank tech."
"in battle I won't use this technique directly because it can easily be Dodge. I would use other technique first in order to distract them and when they distracted and in range then I would use it."
shikamaru explain then complaining
"man, that a lot of talk"

Very good, man.
"Well done, the technique has limitless uses, and I'm sure as you fight more, you'll see many chances to use it. Nonetheless, let us move on to the next technique.
The next technique is quite simple and is a bit different from the previous technique. You will focus your shadow chakra into a bladed weapon, like a kunai or a shuriken. After doing so, you just need to throw that weapon, into the opponent's shadow, and once it hits the shadow, the opponent's movements are constricted. This can be done with ease, since the opponent isn't always looking at his shadow, you can easily throw a shadow infused kunai into the shadow, and trap the opponent as you attack the opponent head on. You know what to do."
Dean says, as he throws the next scroll towards his student.

"right move on to the next one"
shikamaru read the scroll his sensei throw towards him.
"hurm.. look simple but this tech could be useful"
shikamaru take a shuriken from his pouch then start focusing his chakra to his hand and channel it to the shuriken. he then throw the shuriken towards the clone however he didn't target the clone but he throw it to the clone shadow completely immobilized the clone. he then take a kunai and throw to the clone, the clone is completely immobilized and cannot Dodge the incoming kunai so the kunai hit the clone and disperse it.
after done performing the tech he proceed to explain advantage and disadvantage of the tech.
"the advantage of this tech would be that it require no handseal and the enemy will not notice the blade already being fuse with shadow chakra(except dojutsu user) and will try to evade the body being by it but the real target is the enemy shadow.
disadvantage of this tech would be it mid range so it can't be use to trap a long range enemy also it can still be evade even though the enemy don't know it already being fuse with shadow chakra"
"hurm.. how would I use it in battle... I would distract the opponent first with normal shuriken and attack his body the opponent would be distracted by the shuriken that attack his body that he didn't realize one shuriken would be aiming to his shadow."
shikamaru read the scroll his sensei throw towards him.

"Awesome job, and one cool way to use this technique is with a Ninjutsu technique which creates a 1000 copies of one kunai, or shuriken. This makes its area larger, and allows you to plan it strategically. Anyway, let us move on.
Now here comes one of the very useful techniques that can be used for both attacking, defense and even for supplementary uses. Using your unique clan hidden ability, you will use your chakra to hide your own body in a shadow. This can be any shadow on the battlefield, including that of a team mate of yours, one you artificially created (through flash bombs etc). If the shadow is big enough, you are able to use it to conceal yourself, and escape from the opponent, or use it to get to the opponent undetected. Though be sure to remember that it would be quite dangerous if the opponent realizes you are in the shadow, and they use a Fire technique to eradicate it. This technique is from Short range, to Long range, making it quite useful overall. You know what to do."
Dean throws another scroll towards Shikamaru. He was quite impressed by him, but wanted to see more.

Dean throws another scroll towards Shikamaru. He was quite impressed by him, but wanted to see more.
shikamaru read the scroll
"indeed...like you said this tech is quite useful and can be use in many ways."
shikamru move towards the clone and stay in mid range.
shikamaru focuses his chakra towards his feet and channeling it into the shadow, shikamaru start to submerged into the shadow after half of his body submerged shikamaru throws a flash bomb behind the clone shikamaru make sure he throw the flash bomb far enough and would only affect the clone shadow and not his. as the bomb explode the length of the clone shadow start to increased and then connected to shikamaru shadows. then shikamaru completely submerged himself into the shadow and move through the shadow then he appear directly under the clone with a kunai stabbing the clone. the clone then disperse because of the hit.
shikamaru then came out from the shadow then proceed to the next phase
"alright.. the advantage of this tech is it can be use quickly because it don't require hanseal also this tech could be use in many ways.it can be use to attack defense also to hide and escape. the disadvantage is that if be use in place with no other shadow (except user only) it can be notice quickly. and if it been notice it can easily be countered with fire tech."
"in battle I could use it in many ways. this would be good if I use for ambush cause I can appear directly under opponent and kill them"
EDIT:
"sorry there is a question I forgot to ask.
can I use other jutsu while I'm halfway submerged?
and if I inside the shadow and my enemy throw a shuriken or kunai to the that shadow, does it hurt me or not?"

"I was just about to tell you something about how you explained, and it also answers your question. Once submerged in the shadow, you become part of the shadow, and thus, can't use any other techniques nor anything via free form (like the kunai attack you did). That's why I said it'd be dangerous if the opponent destroys the shadow completely. Nonetheless, the technique is merely supplementary meaning that its best used to escape an attack, or sneaking behind the opponent. We'll move on though.
The next one is a simple technique, which combines the first technique I taught you, with a more offensive twist. You will once again charge your chakra into your shadow, and combine it with the opponent's shadow. This would trap the opponent as previously confirmed, however, in this technique, you will manipulate the shadow to extend upwards towards the opponent's neck. The shadow will then form a hand, which strangles the opponent physically while the opponent can't move. A very useful technique and also deadly. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that dashes towards Shikamaru, and throws a scroll towards him too.

"sensei what about the second question?"
shikamaru asking while showing a boring expression
"oh crap the clone already dashing"
shikamaru quickly read the scroll then he focuses his chakra to his feet and channel it to his shadow he keep a constant flow of the chakra in his shadow. he then move his shadow forward toward the incoming clone. the moment his shadow touch the clone shadow the clone stop and stay in it place. shikamaru then proceeds to make his shadow rise over the clone body to the clone neck in a form of hand. as the shadow hand reach the clone neck the shadow strangle the neck.the clone couldn't handle the force of the strangle making it disperse.
"advantage of this tech is it doesn't require handseal so it can be use quickly also it can be used to inflict damage to oppenent.
disadvantage of this tech are it can only be used to mid range and the user can't use any other elemental attack after the jutsu activate."
"I have see before someone use this tech on himself to break his own hand in order to free himself from genjutsu."

"Must have missed it, no, a kunai or shuriken wouldn't hurt you, as you are fully submerged in the shadow. Very good though, let us move on."
This is a simple technique, where you will use your chakra to form two copies of yourself, made of shadows, from the shadow on the ground. These shadow copies each punch the opponent (when they are close to the opponent), at the same time. This would stagger the opponent long enough, to allow the shadows to coil around the opponent, and crush him. A very useful technique, and once more shows that shadows can become more physical at times, rather than just moving along the ground. Use it against my clone."
Dean throws then scroll and then creates a clone that runs towards Shikamaru
