I don't know what my favourite justu is yet haven't learned all the canon ones, also I guess I using my ability's on clones?
Jutsu Name: (Kage Nui) - Shadow Sewing
Description: Shikamaru listens to his teacher about how all these justu and create needles for all of them, Shikamaru channels his charka to his shadow and creates 6 lines of shadow and uses shape manipulation to turn them into needles, Shikamaru adds explosion tags to each line of shadow to add damage to each shadow, he then sends them moving fast towards Deaths clone attacking from different angles and impale him through his torso causing a lot of pain and then exploding shredding the clone to pieces and it disperse.
Your Opinion: my opinion on this justu is that it is a very pretty versatile justu and sets up a lot of other justu, so it like the foundation of the other justu that how more wide range and more damage compared to the lower ranked justu, also it is very basic to use. Then its also you can add explosion tags to each shadow line you make so if they impale the opponent you can then explode each one killing him if he wasn't dead already.
Questions: no questions on this one
Jutsu Name
Saigo no Itte) - Final Move Technique
Description: Shikamaru laughed at his teacher, he loved Deaths enthusiasm about this justu, Shikamaru listens to his teacher, Shikamaru and creates a shadow clone with a blade in his hand. The real Shikamaru channels his charka to his shadow and creates 6 lines of shadow and uses shape manipulation to turn them into needles, he then sends them moving fast towards Deaths clone attacking from different angles and impale him through his torso causing a lot of pain and binds him into place the shadow clone runs towards the binds the clone of Death and decapitates his head off causing the clone to disperse.
Your Opinion:this justu as you said is pretty pointless when I could just kill the opponent by myself with my own shadow and preserve my charka and kill the opponent there and then so in my own opinion this is pretty useless to me.
Questions: I have no questions
Jutsu Name
Kuro kumo Yuri) - Black Spider Lily
Description:Shikamaru channels his charka to his shadow and creates 6 lines of shadow and uses shape manipulation to turn them into needles, he then sends them moving fast towards Deaths clone attacking from different angles and impale him through his torso causing a lot of pain and binds him into place. Shikamaru then makes the rat handseal and brings the death clone closer to himself.
Your Opinion: ugh I don't get the bring it closer to himself properly does it mean bring it closer to the user? or bring the needles closer together.
Questions: ugh I don't get the bring it closer to himself properly does it mean bring it closer to the user? or bring the needles closer together? EDIT never mind I saw what you put above it.
Jutsu Name: (Kage Nui: Sakuru Kage no Jutsu) - Shadow Sewing: Circle Shadow Technique
Description: Shikamaru channels his charka to his shadow and creates 6 lines of shadow and uses shape manipulation to turn them into needles, he then sends them moving fast towards Deaths clone attacking from different angles and in all directions instead of one direction and impale him through his torso causing a lot of pain and binds him into place.
Your Opinion: this justu is very handy as you can attack from a lot of different angles and blind spots and don't have to attack in a single direction and this makes it very hard for the opponent to dodge but because of the amount of needles coming from different directions and not a single direction the opponent will probably just repel it with a fire justu
Questions no questions
Jutsu Name:(Kageyose no Jutsu) Shadow Gathering Technique
Description: Shikamaru channels his charka to his shadow and creates 100 small tendrils sending the large amount of them forward towards the incoming Death clone, Deaths clone throws 4 kunai. Shikamaru manipulates 4 of the small tendrils and catch the kunai thrown by weaving the shadows very fast through the hole at the end of the hilt and then throws it back at the clone catching him off guard, he did this with simple hand gestures.
Your Opinion: I like this justu very much there is so many possibility's of what you can do with this justu you can defend yourself from freeform weapons such as kunai and launch them instantly back at them and get on the offensive straight away, also it would be very excellent attacking them constantly keeping them on the defensive and gives you the upper hand.
Questions: would the tendrils be visible by the normal human eye?
Jutsu Name: (Kage Nui: Yasei no Justu) - Shadow Stitching: Wild Technique
Description:Shikamaru channels his charka to his shadow and sends his shadow and circles around Death clone and creates a lot of shadow spikes to pierce through the clone causing an enormous amount of pain to the clone and disperses the clone instantly
Your Opinion: I like this but im a bit confused on this one I know you said ignore the honeycomb formation, but when you said I think of it as a circle around the opponent, wouldn't this justu be used different to every user of shadow techs?. but personally I like this justu as you obviously can attack from a lot of angles and in different formations.
