Having a special KG, Nara clan is known for their manipulation of shadows and tending of deer, which graze in a large area of Nara clan forest. They have the ability to control and use their own shadows, and the shadows of others to their advantage, by attaching their shadow to the opponent's, and then take control of him/her. The opponent then, becomes a mirror of the user's movement and for as long as they are trapped in the shadows, the bodies move by the will of the Nara member;
Using their shadow controlling techniques, Nara members can extend, combine, control, and more with them, even going so far as to being able to strangle a person with their own shadow.
Manipulating Shadows however is not as easy as it looks. Most ninjas in Naruto are high skilled, they are fast and some of them even sense chakra. Therefor, Nara members have to be extremely cautious relatively to when they will choose to attack (best time is dusk and dawn, as shadows are at their largest then) and also where as natural shadows help the Nara members to hide or expand their ability's length and power, strength and speed. The Shadow jutsus are indistinguishable from natural shadows to all except the shadow users themselves.
