Alrighty, let's get into the techniques. What are your thoughts on these two? And what makes them different from each other.

( Kage Mane ) - Shadow Imitation
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 10 ( -10 per turn )
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user extends their shadow on any surface to merge with a target's shadow, thereby forcing them to imitate the user's movements. The major downside of the Shadow Imitation is that it is tiring to sustain; draining 10 chakra every turn, the user can only keep it active for a max of 3 turns. Opponents one rank and higher than the opponent will be able to partially resist the shadows, freely moving at half his speed while "captured".

( Kage Mane Shuriken ) - Shadow Imitation Shuriken
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After infusing the blades with his own chakra beforehand, they are given the effect of his shadow techniques. By using these weapons to pierce the enemies' shadows, they are paralysed in place. To pierce the shadow, it is necessary to avoid the target just barely. Since it is more difficult for the enemy to notice it, this ninjutsu compensates for the weak point of the similar Shadow Imitation Technique, being its limited effective range. Targets trapped via kunai are left unable to move for 1 turn.

( Kage Mane ) - Shadow Imitation
- Basic Shadow jutsu of Nara Clan
- Mirror movements, so no damage
- Weak but effective when used with tactics
- Used for capture or escape
- Consumes chakra over time and lasts for 3 turns
- Opponent one rank or higher can resist capture

Disadvantage:
- You have to extend the shadow towards the target, so mid to long-range can leave you open to opponents' attack. If the opponent is familiar with the Jutsu then they can easily evade.

Question: Do you have to be stationary to use this jutsu?


( Kage Mane Shuriken ) - Shadow Imitation Shuriken
- Once imbued, the weapons are given the effects of shadow techniques.
- Great for mobility, but the accuracy is reduced because you have to strike the opponent's shadow.
- Once the weapon pierces the target's shadow, they become paralyzed for 1 turn.
- This jutsu can be countered by removing the weapon or "disappearance" of the opponent's shadow.



- The difference between Shadow Imitation and Shadow Imitation Shuriken is the root of the Shadow techniques is focusing on your shadow while Shadow Imitation Shuriken eliminates this weak point.

Once you've connected shadows, you can freely move.

Next set! These are more unique and versatile, despite their limited combat prowess.

( Kagegakure no Jutsu ) - Hiding In Shadow Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: A technique in which the user is capable of concealing themselves in a shadow. The user can use this technique to hide himself in the shadow of a likewise hidden team-mate and providing there is a large coverage of shadow they can move within that shadow allowing for escape from a location.
Note: Can only be used by Nara Clan ninjas

( Kage Kubi Shibari ) - Shadow Neck Bind
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: A technique developed from the Nara clan's hiden Shadow Imitation Technique with combat in mind. After forming 3 handseals, the user manipulates his shadow to bind and choke the opponent. It is possible to attack body parts like fingers and such by turning the shadow slender and to bind the opponent's body in order to restrain them. It was given its name because, above all else, strangulation is the most efficient method.

( Kage Gijin no Jutsu ) - Human Shadow Simulation Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user materializes and personifies his shadow into two different copies of himself that are shaped shadows. Each shadow punches the opponent once and then both shadows coil around the opponent and crush the opponent.

Cool.

( Kagegakure no Jutsu ) - Hiding In Shadow Technique
- You hide in the shadow, not manipulating it or anything.
- A shadow has to be nearby to take advantage of it.
- You can launch a surprise attack from the shadow or escape.
-. A clone can assist with utilizing this Jutsu



( Kage Kubi Shibari ) - Shadow Neck Bind
After waving hand signs you send your shadow forward toward the target and transform it into a hand that can strangle the opponent.
- Works best with Shadow Imitation.
- Unlike Shadow Imitation, it's a battle-oriented technique that deals damage.
- Other than strangulation, it can retrain the opponent or attack smaller body parts like fingers.



( Kage Gijin no Jutsu ) - Human Shadow Simulation Technique
It's not like the Clone Technique where you simply create afterimages of yourself, it's more like a silhouette that materialized and come to form using your Shadow. Humanlike shadows travel via your shadow toward the opponent and strike them with a punch that knocks them over. The humanlike shadows then coils themself around the opponent, crushing their body.



Disadvantage:
The opponent seems them coming.
Your valunerable while performing the technique.

Ah, didn't notice you had replied.

Next set.

(Kage Enmaku) Shadow Smoke Screen
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user first throws a smoke bomb at the opponent then uses their shadow to cover the smoke, compressing it and trapping the opponent in a body suit shadow with the high pressure smoke crushing them in.

( Kage Nui no Jutsu ) - Shadow Sewing Technique
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: This is a ninjutsu from among the Nara clan's secret techniques that uses materialised shadows to attack and bind, instead of merely immobilising and controlling like the Shadow Imitation Technique. The user changes the shape of their shadow into several sharp needles and controls each separately. They can then attack several targets simultaneously and at the same time snatch away their ability to move by sewing them stuck with the shadow threads. Because it is a physical attack, it is impossible to capture someone without harming them, but on the other hand, since the speed of invocation and the time of duration are excellent, it can be used when urgent restraint is required. This technique is usually used to go through the target and capture them, but depending on the opponent, it can also be used as an attack to bring them down. This special characteristic finds its greatest effect when used as logistical support. After this technique hits someone, it can then be directly transformed back into the Shadow Imitation Technique.
Note: After landing, this technique triggers the Shadow Imitation technique's binding abilities and durations, allowing the user to utilize more Shadow jutsu.

(Kage Asshō no Jutsu) Shadow Demon Stripe Technique
Type: Offensive
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will throw flash bombs behind themselves to not only blind the enemy but to also extend the range of his shadow indefinitely. The user can put any part of their body infront of the light and it will appear as an enormous shadow. Once the shadow is ready, he can constrict any enemy easily just by closing his hands.
Note: Must be a member of the Nara clan

( Kage Nettowāku no Jutsu ) - Shadow Network Technique
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user is able to manipulate their shadow to crack the ground around him, possessing nearby enemies. The shadow will spin, forming a small whirlwind, attacking possessed and approaching enemy targets.
Note Must be a member of the Nara clan

(Kage Enmaku) Shadow Smoke Screen
- After throwing a smoke bomb at the opponent, who is trapped in the air of the smoke, the user sends their shadow to go forth to coil the cloud of smoke. With the shadow and cloud intertwined, the cloud is squeezed by the shadow trapping the opponent, who is inside - crushing their body with the high-pressure smoke.

Disadvantage: The smoke bomb can create a smokescreen that can be used as an advantage for the opponent as well - becoming a double edge sword for the user.


Kage Nui no Jutsu ) - Shadow Sewing Technique
- Transform your shadow into needlelike forms and control them separately.
- It can be used to capture the opponent or kill them.
- Instead of typically binding them, you impale the target to restrain.
- Follows Shadow Imitation Technique rules of binding.


(Kage Asshō no Jutsu) Shadow Demon Stripe Technique
No questions.


Good in spaces where there is no light.

Disadvantage: Don't look at the light or let the opponent cover the light bomb.

( Kage Nettowāku no Jutsu ) - Shadow Network Technique
- The user cast his shadow on the ground and causes it to circle around them with great speed, generating a small whirlwind that attacks. Any opponent that approaches is ensnared in the shadow and knocked back by the wind.

Alrighty, let's wrap up the B ranks

( Kuro kumo Yuri ) - Black Spider Lily
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: After trapping the enemy with the Shadow Sewing Technique, the user by making the Rat hand seal can them manipulate the shadow to bring them closer to himself. This allows him to also use it to draw in several opponents into one space.
Note: Can only be used by a member of the Nara Clan

(Kageyose no Jutsu) Shadow Pull Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This is a ninjutsu using materialised shadows, but compared to the Shadow Sewing Technique from the same line, this technique places emphasis on the minute control of the shadow's movements. It is accurate enough to even make the tentacles go through tiny holes. Basically, this technique takes the user's own shadow and transforms and stretches it into countless thin tentacles, which are then used to grab objects and pull them in. Also, one can skilfully make use of the tentacle-shaped shadow tendrils by using them to lift up and throw weapons like kunai and such.

(Shadoukirā) Shadow Killer
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: Similar to "Hiding in Shadow Technique", the user can conceal various weapons within their shadow if they so wish, from kunai to spears. When the weapon is recalled, it will rise from the shadow slowly so that the user can use it, or it can be fired from the shadow at a certain angle to attack a target.

A more advanced use of this would be the ability to hide smaller tools within the shadows of their body. However, the problem is the user has to make sure the shadow isn't destroyed or else the kunai (or whatever is hidden will reveal itself). The user can also seem to catch a thrown kunai or shuriken and make it disappear, though it will actually be hidden within the shadow of their palm - only as long as they slightly close their hand into a fist. To reveal it again the user simply needs to open his hand and the kunai will fire from their hand at the same force it was thrown.

(Kage Uzu Boei) - Shadow Swirl Defense
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: The user raises their shadow up all around them in the shape of bars that have a tip like a spear. This is a defense against attacks and opponents. The user can manipulate the shadow bars to focus on one side or all around. The bars are two inch which and a inch thick that raises above the user height four extra inches. The bars has a inch space in between each one when surrounding the user all around.

Note: Courtesy of Hisōka

(Kage Hōrudo) - Shadow Hold
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user gives his shadow jutsu adhesive properties to bind opponents to the user's shadow. Someone with immense strength can break free fom the shadows but when used with Shadow Imitation it becomes more difficult. The user is unaffected by this jutsu.

( Kuro kumo Yuri ) - Black Spider Lily
This basically makes up for the binding weakness of Shadow Sewing which impales and retrains the target.

(Kageyose no Jutsu) Shadow Pull Technique
No questions.


(Shadoukirā) Shadow Killer
So it's like a summoning scroll.

question: Do you have to put it in your Bio in advance? or it has to be done at the start of the battle?


Shadow Swirl Defense
This Jutsu is probably used against the opponent within short-range during close-quarter combat. Probably not good against most elemental ninjutsu.

(Kage Hōrudo) - Shadow Hold
It just makes the Jutsu hard to break freeform or the user can attach themselves to surfaces to break free from enemy jutsu.

Shadow Killer can't be used like that to store pre-battle stuff.


( Kage Nui: Sākuru Kage no Jutsu ) - Shadow Sewing: Circle Shadow Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: This is an advanced version of the Shadow Sewing Technique where the user creates a circular shadow around them and extends his Shadow needles to skewer the enemy target(s), allowing the user to create a suitable defensive technique. The shadow spikes cover a short range radius, only the user being left untouched.
Note: Can only be used by members of the Nara clan.

( Kage Shibari no Jutsu ) - Shadow Paralysis Jutsu
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid Range
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user extends their shadow up to mid range to merge with a target's shadow, thereby forcing them to become paralyzed and unable to move. While this is similar to the Shadow Imitation jutsu, this version doesn't allow the user to attack the opponent with shadows at the same time. Because of this, the shadows are capable of emanating anyone in their grasps.

( Kageyose no Jutsu ) - Shadow Gathering Technique
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: This is a shadow ninjutsu using materialised shadows, but compared to the Shadow Sewing Technique from the same line, this technique places emphasis on the minute control of the shadow's movements. It is accurate enough to even make the tentacles go through tiny holes. Basically, this technique takes the user's own shadow and transforms and stretches it into countless thin tentacles, which are then used to grab objects and pull them in. Also, one can skilfully make use of the tentacle-shaped shadow tendrils by using them to lift up and throw weapons like kunai and such. This technique has many possible applications and uses. There are no hand seals used for this technique, but the hand movements resemble that of Gaara's Sand Binding Coffin.

( Kage Pintome no Jutsu ) - Shadow Pinning Jutsu
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user will form the Rat handseal and summon forth dozens of shadow spikes that will erupt from the ground. These spikes will travel rapidly in a straight line ahead, growing in number until they reach their opponent to skewer them where they stand.

Alright.

( Kage Nui: Sākuru Kage no Jutsu ) - Shadow Sewing: Circle Shadow Technique
No questions.

( Kage Shibari no Jutsu ) - Shadow Paralysis Jutsu
No questions.

( Kageyose no Jutsu ) - Shadow Gathering Technique
The difference between this and Shadow Pull is I can use this offensively.

Does that mean I can use more weapons equivalent to A-rank damage?

( Kage Pintome no Jutsu ) - Shadow Pinning Jutsu

frontal attack, so I would be vulnerable on my flank. And it's a charge-up attack, so my opponent can easily see it coming.

Yes on the shadow gathering question.

Final set.

(Kage Masuku) - Shadow Mask
Type:
Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The user creates a pattern of shadow all over his skin that lets him perform shadow jutsu originating from the shadows on his body. This allows jutsu such as Shadow Sewing to be used in mid-air.

Note: Lasts for 3 turns and is useable only twice per match.
Note: Courtesy of Ushiro

(Kage Kumo) - Shadow Spider
Type:
Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user materializes an orb from his shadow from which multiple shadow tendrils emerge. They allow the orb move swiftly in the way a spider does and pursue targets. Targets caught by the spider's tendrils can be pulled into its body where they are immobilized and suffocated by the shadows covering them. It is strong enough to hold three people inside of itself without losing much speed. The body of the spider can be destroyed with an A-rank attack but is more vulnerable to light-emitting attacks such as fire or lightning.

Note: Last three turns and is useable thrice per battle.
Note: Courtesy of Ushiro

( Kagemane Basho Jutsu ) - Shadow Imitation Field Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: After forming the Hare handseal, the user expands their shadow to cover a wide range, thereby reducing the chance of escape. Due to the technique's concept, multiple targets can be captured simultaneously.

(Kage no Ki) - Tree of Shadows
Type:
Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user forms 3 handseals and materializes his shadow into one large tendril much stronger than Shadow Sewing that can branch out many times to cover a large area and deal more damage to impaled opponents. The tendril can pierce the earth and branch out underground to uplift sections of earth for defence and offence.

Note: Usable thrice per battle
Note: No A-rank or higher Nara techniques in the next turn.
Note: Courtesy of Ushiro

(Kage Masuku) - Shadow Mask
This one is nice would never have thought of that. The downside is limited to no light.

(Kage Kumo) - Shadow Spider
In a simple way, the user's shadow becomes physical and takes the form of an orb with tendrils that moves like a spider. The spider-like form can pull the target with its tendrils and capture them. Based on how many spiders are released, splits the Jutsu's power.

( Kagemane Basho Jutsu ) - Shadow Imitation Field Technique
No questions. The downside is it leaves me vulnerable if the opponent is not close enough while it's expanding.

(Kage no Ki) - Tree of Shadows
No questions. The downside is light can disrupt the shadows so be careful of the drawbacks of what I do with it like uplifting a wall of earth and it falls back on me.

For shadow mask, it has niche uses, but you can still use shadow jutsu in the air regardless. Such as the shadow you cast on yourself, the shadow in the gap between your clothes and body etc. But anyways, with that your basic training is concluded. Feel free to make a custom thread, I have a few shadow techniques you can learn for free.
