Ive noticed that everytime that naruto gets an upgrade in power, his usage of shadow clones is somehow restricted. When naruto fist got the kyubi cloak, his clones started dying once he got to two or three tails. When he learned sage mode, he had restricted clones for the ones gathering nature energy. And finally now Rikudo mode. Naruto cant make any clones at all or risk dying.

Do you think naruto will ever be able to use his clones to their fullest potential

Well if you look at the logic Naruto is becoming more of a shinobi now, be4 he aimlessly made 100's of clones where as each time he gets a new jutsu or a new lv of tech he's improving everytime, so the logic that he doesnt need as many clones is actually a good thing

I'm glad he's not relying on spamming shadow clones anymore. Despite it being his fighting style I found it annoying that he spammed shadow clones in about every fight. Its nice seeing him learn a new technique without the help of a clone. It's showing his growth as a ninja.

He couldnt make more than 4 shadow clones because thats all Fusaku said he could keep up with with his club to keep Naruto from turing into a frog forever. And I think they said he can't or shouldnt while using the ninetails chakra to keep from being taken over by the Demon Fox. But it is nice to see him not learing 20 years of expierence in two or three weeks.

Naruto's shadow clones being restriced is starting to become bull**** Shadow clones is one of the few thing's he is most known for. It's his very first just he has ever learned.

Yeah exactly which makes it a terrible jutsu, he has sage mode, nine tails chakra now, resengan, futon raisen shurikun, doesnt need clones that much anymore

Yes he was he could only make 2 shadow clones in sage
He could only make 2 during battle because he had 2 others gathering Sage Chakra. He may be able to use more if he doesn't have any of them gathering Sage Chakra...but he likely can use at least 4 in Sage Mode.

Kishi isn't getting rid of shadow clones altogether though. Think about it, the reason Naruto was able to beat Pain was having the tons of transformed shadow clones that braced his Shinra Tensei and then 2 others helped him finish the fight (one making the rasengan and the other throwing him).

Yeah i aint saying he will stop using his clones, but with his current stage atm, 1. he can't cause it limits his life span with kyuubi chakra, 2. he will only use them as a last resort

No Kishi is not trying to get rid of the shadow clone tech. Not only is that Naruto's calling card, but it is also useful in just about any and every situation that arises. I personally like how they've shown his progression with the Shadow Clone Tech. It is the type of jutsu that can easily sway the scales of battle when used by a clever and cunning ninja. I think Kishi is simply trying to limit Naruto so as not to make him appear completely untouchable ::cough:: Tobi ::cough:: xd

<div class="bbWrapper">Well, it has been a long time when Naruto started to rely on Shadow clones. Well, i think Kishi just wants to change this. Well, I like the SCs' bt if Kishi is doing somethin well he has a plan</div>

I absolutely DISAGREE!!

How did He beat Mizuki - shadow clones lots of them..Now how did he beat

Gara
Pain
The Nine Tails

I think he has mastered Shadow clones just fine.

To be honest with you it is good to see Naruto in Sage mode or Six Paths cloak not rely on the shadow clones as much. He was getting a little too 1 dimensional. The truly sad part is we may never see his 2nd or 3rd element.
