This Shikamaru kid was quite knowledgeable, he was a Nara after all. Without saying a lot, he had covered the important aspects of the clan, their special ability to manipulate Shadows. A secret clan technique, that only the Nara could do. It was a very strategic skill, and usually underrated by the rest of the Ninja World, however, in the right hands it can become a deadly skill. With a smirk, Dean walked forward towards Shikamaru.
"Alright, that was good. The Nara clan is indeed a special clan, now, let's see if you are really a Nara. I will be using this clone for our training, to make things a bit more "practical". His name will be, "Lucifer". Anyway, my method is as follows. I will explain the technique to you and I want you to perform the technique against Lucifer, give me at least two advantages and disadvantages of the technique and how you would use the technique in battle. If you have questions, be sure to ask me.
Before we continue to the techniques and such, what can one do to increase the range of shadows in battle? What exactly plays a role in terms of the enviroment? Also, how can a flash bang be used creatively? These all pertain to the usage of shadows."
