Shadow clones and Clones are two different things.

Clone jutsu is genjutsu, Shadow Clones are just physical copies. There's no true trick, it's just a numbers game to be honest. Just kill as many as you can in one full swoop and keep your eye on the Naruto that's weaving the signs to make more clones.

If you consider him able to summon thousands of shadow clones because of his genetics, then yes. He's a prodigy at it.

To a byakugan illusion clones are useless, but shadow clones divide chakra evenly so Naruto would be distinguished , even normal eyes can see through illusionary clones. Naruto is a genius in shadow clones

Clone jutsu are made from one chakra nature, shadow clone is a mix of yin and yang. Both are used to trick opponents like illusions

Shadow Clones are able to create shadow clones too.

Did this ninja just say clones were a genjutsu?

The clone academy jutsu is a genjutsu technique, hence why Naruto couldn't do it. The Shadow Clone jutsu is not a genjutsu, it's a kinjutsu that requires a lot of chakra. Naruto had poor control, hence why he created an insane amount of shadow clones because he pumped far too much chakra into it.

Why are you getting dislikes? Your bold statement is entirely correct.

Though yes, Clone jutsu isn't labeled Genjutsu, it is an illusionary technique, which is literally what Genjutsu means in literary terms. Furthermore, the Clone technique has no shadow, while the Shadow Clone technique possesses one (Naruto's failed Clone technique had a shadow due to it being just that, a failed version, and clearly it possessed substance).

Naruto's failed Clone technique:

Illusions don't cast shadows, as they are fake, facades; not real.

Creating one's own after-image and confusing the enemy!!

A ninjutsu that creates an after-image of one's own body, without any substance. Since the clone itself doesn't have the ability to attack, and thus can only be used to confuse the enemy, it is mainly used in combination with other ninjutsu. It's a basic technique, but depending on one's ingenuity, it can be used effectively.

Without substance, there cannot be a shadow, it's merely an illusion.

When I say Genjutsu, I mean its literal term; an illusion. By all means Clone Technique is Ninjutsu, but it's an illusionary-based Ninjutsu.

It's created with ninjutsu tho. You need yin release to utilize a Genjutsu correctly, which not everyone had in the Academy I'm sure

The only person who uses a tin version of shadow clones is Ino or her dad, she can clone her mind.

Sakura kinda have that ability too if you tAke Ino statement about her having two minds into account

Clone Jutsu is listed under Ninjutsu.

This is how genjutsu works

Clones jutsu is simply creating a clone of yourself using chakra, it has nothing to do with controlling your opponents senses/chakra

The clones are illusions, they aren't physical copies, they aren't real. It's classified as a ninjutsu but clearly is an illusionary technique.

I think people think he mean't it was a Genjutsu technique or falls under genjutsu catagory.

Genjutsu can't be seen by everyone, clones can, its a hologram not a mental projection brought about by chakra control
