Ok. Nara clan is very known for their unique technique, the manipulation of shadows and also tending of deers. The Nara clan or the Nara family is also an alliance of the Akimichi Clan, as our clan provide medicine stuff such as pill for them to use when in wars or missions.
About our clan mate, they are gifted with knowledge and skill. Just that, some of us have a lazy kind of personality. Due to our outstanding knowledge, our clan is considered as the geniuses and gifted clan.
About our unique technique, the shadow manipulation is a one kind technique in our village. This ability able to trap the opponent in many ways as long the user/Nara's shadow is connected to the target's shadow. This because the Nara family allows themselves to extend their shadow for as far as it has sufficient area, until it connect the opponent which taking control him. Whatever it is, the Nara is a clan that able to control their shadow.

Hmm...not bad, but you should read that book more..
Particularly this page...

You must be registered for see links
Hmmm, okay now I get it.
Our technique is such an art, we can extend, combine, control, and more with them, even going so far as to being able to strangle a person with their own shadow. But nonetheless, our shadow has a limit...According to the book you said. We are weak when there is no any light source.
With the presence of Light, that is when the shadow is present too. So in darkness with a complete absence of light, Shadow jutsus cannot function at all.
Anyway, just asking...what if we fight in darkness, where there is no light at all? Can we use our Katon jutsu to light up the place, so that we are able to use the shadow? Is that possible?

(I want you to tell me the specifics of what it says in that link I sent you. Like what does B-rank fire do against our techniques? A-rank? etc... all that. You can just copy/paste it if you want but I wanna be sure you've read it)
And you can use it in somewhat of darkness. Like if it's nighttime outside it depends. Is there moonlight? Streetlights? Its terrain-depending. As to your question about using Katon to light up the place that's a yes and a no. You can, but would you have time to complete the shadow jutsu before the fire runs out? I'd say that if you want to do something like that, it'd be best to use a clone, that way you can do both at the same time.
However, don't forget about your simple ninja tools. A flash bomb can do the same without the cost of one of your moves in your turn.

This is what it say in the link you send me. Yes, I read them already. Some of them like the thing I just asked you, is the thing Im not sure with. But it looks like that you had already explain to me.
So according to the thing that I just quoted, my shadow speed is depends on my fire-rank right? So that's mean a Nara must posses a Fire element?

No you don't need to possess fire element.
What that is saying is like if you use a shadow jutsu, and your opponent uses a fire jutsu, the rank of the jutsu they use can affect your shadow.
So if you try a shadow possession, and your opponent uses an A rank fire jutsu, your shadow will stop stretching towards them. If they use a B-rank it would only slow your shadow down, and if its an S-rank or higher fire jutsu it would send your shadow back towards you.
So with all that cleared up, are you ready to learn the first jutsu?
(PS- If I ever don't reply for a few days, like 2 days after you've posted here, just send me a VM. Cause sometimes I forget to check
)Ohh now I get it. So is there any way to speed up my shadow? Because how am I gonna fight let say with a fire user? Is there something that I can do? Anyway, thanks for the explanation
So yeah, Im ready to learn my first jutsu! Ok, I will nudge you if you never reply this for a few days

To speed up your shadow there are a few things you can do.
-Add more light in the opposite direction you want your shadow to go. Like if you want to extend your shadow infront of you, throw a flash bomb behind you. The light will cause your shadow to extend further and faster than it normally would.
-Make natural shadows. Sending your shadow into "natural shadows" will also increase its speed, strength, and allow it to extend further. So you could create a large wall of earth behind you to cast a large shadow, or use a jutsu to make it rain and create shadows from the clouds.
-Increase your speed. Your shadow can move as fast as you can run, so if you increase your speed, your shadows speed increases as well.
With all that said, lets get started. The first jutsu is the Kage Mane jutsu.
(Kage Mane) - Shadow Imitation
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Traps the enemy by combining shadows.
This jutsu allows you to extend your shadow in an attempt to combine it with an enemy's shadow. When this happens, the enemy will be unable to move on thier own. They will mimic any movements you preform.
So lets get started. Try to extend your shadow towards me.

Alright then!
*Put my hands together, and try to pull my shadow*
*My shadow then stretched all the way to you, but on its way the shadow turn zig zag*
Hey! I tried to control the direction, but it still go the other way round! How should I control the direction then...

you just need to focus more.
Try again...
and this time, use the sign of the rat as your handsign instead of just putting your hands together.

Oh okay then!
*Do the rat hand sign, and try to extend my shadow*
*I try to focus more, and my shadow then immediately extends and joins to your shadow! I succeed*
*panting* Yes! I did it...but I never though it wasted a lot of chakra. Or is it just me to train more? Should I do it one more time?

*I easily break free and see you're surprised at this.*
Now, as you can see, you weren't very successful in trapping me. You lost your focus once you made contact. This jutsu won't do you much good if you can't hold it for more than a second. You need to be able to keep your opponent trapped long enough to finish them off.
But be warned, you have to be somewhat clever and inventive once you have the opponent trapped. Because once you catch them with this jutsu, they will mimic every move you make. So if you throw a shuriken at them, they'll do the same to you. If you dodge the one they throw, they'll dodge yours too.
A simple solution to this might be switching the side you hold your weapons pouch at the start of the match so it isn't on the same side as thiers. (like if they keep it on thier left leg, you put yours on your right leg. That way when you reach for one, they'll reach for theirs on the right side...but won't have their pouch on their right side...so they can't throw anything.)
Just some things to keep in mind.
Try again.

Right then...I will put that in my mind, thanks! I will try a better one this time!
*Do some hand seals, ...close my eyes for awhile (Im focusing) and my shadow then extends directly towards you.*
*Its then connected to your shadow, and now you're under my control*
*I saw you trying to struggle, so I crouch and starts to focus more in my chakra, preventing you from freed*
How is it? Not bad huh?

*Your shadow connects but when I begin to struggle slightly the jutsu breaks and I'm freed*
Ok, that one wasn't bad. Still a little weak, but I'll give you some important information now. At your current level you won't be able to trap me for more than a second or two with this jutsu. If your opponent is much stronger than you are it's too difficult to keep them trapped. Therefore you can only successfully hold people that are one rank above you and down.
Anyone 2 or more ranks higher than you this jutsu won't hold them. (This is not an official rule, but if you watch the Shikamaru Vs Tayuya fight you see that she overpowers him after activating her curse mark because she has more charka. Therefore I see it as anyone with much more chakra than you can overpower the Kage Mane.)
*I make a clone*
Ok, now try it again on my clone. I have proportioned his chakra so that he only has as much as you do. This will allow us to see just how effective your Kage Mane is. If you keep him trapped, you've succeeded. If not, than you still need more practice.

*See you freed from my control*
Oh man... Looks like I need to practice more. Btw, do distance effect the power of my shadow? Like for example, the distance between us is quite far...do this mean that my shadow will be lesser chakra since its stretched in a longer distance? Or not effect at all.
Whatever it is...I will try to trap your clone.
*Do the rat handseal, and start focusing on my shadow*
*My shadow then as usual, stretched all the way to your clone, and followed by connected to its shadow.*
*Panting* I hope this time works...xd

Umm...In a sense, yes distance matters, but not quite as much for this jutsu.
I imagine it would be strongest if you're closer, but even at a distance it'll still have power enough to trap people 1-rank above you and lower. So its not that big a deal.
However to get your shadow to go longer distances you'll need to make use of natural shadows.
*You successfully trap my clone.*
Good, but what will you do that you have him trapped? How will you finish him off?

*gulp* I had no idea how should I finished him. But I will try...
*In thoughts* If I want to stab him...He will do the same thing too. So I need to something that he can't do, or something that he can't able to. Hmmm...
*The both us possessed the weapon pouch at the same right leg. So whatever I do, like throwing a kunai or shuriken or something...he will do the same. So what I did is.*
*Throws a kunai toward the sky. He did the same too. So as the Kunai is flying on the sky, I jumps wanting to catch it. The clone jumps too, wanting to catch the kunai. But however, I flyed higher than him since I jumped earlier. So he is just below me as I jumped. Once I catch the kunai, I shoot it down where it is where the clone is. Even if he manage catches the kunai, he will still shoot below...where there is no one below. So the clone goes to *poof* into cloud.*

Ok....that would be a good way except for one thing.
Any sort of jumping / being in the air I think cancels the jutsu. You need to maintain contact with the ground, otherwise you're no longer connected to your shadow. And if you aren't connected to your shadow (or the opponent isn't) than you can't control their movements.
Keep that in mind and try again.
