just performed final D-Rank shadow jutsu

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. So let us discuss the nature of the last jutsu you just learned. ^^ It's my personal favorite, one that I utilize a lot during battle tests. Given the circumstance that you can infuse your shadow chakra into most of your basic weapons, how might you find an opening during a battle to execute such a creative action?

I would use it when my opponent is blinded so he cannot see the kunai, or at the start of a battle when the opponent doesn't even know I'm watching him, a bit like when Kakashi led shikamaru's teams against hidan and kakuzu, catching them off guard by misplacing where he through Asuma's knives.
Maybe even, using the shadow clones to an advantage of surrounding the enemy and throw the kunai from all sides, thus making it hard for the enemy to defend all of them.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent response. Don't forget that the kunai can NOT be distinguished from regular kunai so you can use such trickery to your advantage.

Got it sensei ^^

I Gather in a suitable amount of chakra for the technique and channel it through my body and into the shadow below me performing the rat hand seal; curling my hand over the two fingers. The shadow takes in the chakra and molds with the shadow to make the special kekkei genkei shadow chakra of the Nara clan. I then manipulate my shadow to stretch across the ground slowly, then it got faster and connected with your clone's shadow and takes control of your clone. I then manipulate the shadows again and this time a hand is formed on the clone's foot, it slowly stretches up its body, curling around it's leg; then it's torso and up his chest to meet his neck, the hand then grips tightly on the clone's throat and strangles it until it becomes nothing more than cloud after it's dispersal.

 

[Adachi]

Very straightforward. xD Though of course, most people won't even let you use this jutsu. <.<

Alright, this next one introduces some nice chakra manipulation. Proceed to force your shadow out into two different ways, formulating it upwards to create two clones of you. And then direct these clones towards my clone, allowing them to "coil" around him and crush him.
Well.

I'm guessing for the shadow neck bind you don't need to post kagemane before hand, it comes with the tech?

I Focus the chakra I have just gathered up into my shadow, molding it into the kekkei genkei shadow chakra of the nara clan. I then stretch my shadows to my sides and using manipulation I form two clones and they slowly climb out of the shadow, two exact copies of me. I then command the clones to run towards yours and the one on the right punches the clone across the face sending him downwards meeting the clone on the lefts kick to the face, straightening the enemy back up and then the clones' legs become shadow and they could around the enemy clone and crush it into a cloud.

 

[Adachi]

Yes, it does indeed come with the tech.

I gather in some chakra and channel it quickly into my shadow which molds to become the kekkei genkei Shadow Chakra. I then take out two flash bombs and then lob them behind me, the flash blinds the clone and the shadow I stretch is more powerful and stretches further, using manipulation I transform the end of the shadow into a giant hand which reaches out of the ground into something with mass and crushes the blinded clone, turning it into a cloud of smoke.

Alright, since the Nara clan tends to use ninja tools, a lot, here's your chance to take up some basic knowledge. Firstly, how might one use a smoke bomb, and in what situations?

A smoke bomb would normally be used to escape from an enemy normally, if you're surrounded or you knew your opponent was too strong. But in conjunction with a Nara technique it would be used to conceal the Shadow from the enemy so that they do not see it coming I guess, maybe even be able to stretch their shadow further.

 

[Adachi]

Well, with the case here, you will be utilizing the actual smoke of the bomb, and the density of it with your shadow.
So, proceed to a smoke bomb at my clone - once it spreads just a bit around him, form the Rat seal, send your shadow around the entire smoke and then compress it onto him, successfully suffocating him to poof.

Yes Sensei U_U

I take out of my pouch a smoke grenade which I then proceed to throw towards your clone, it hits them and as soon as it does the smoke releases itself around the area. I then channel my chakra to the shadow below me and make the rat hand seal, forming shadow chakra and stretching my shadow towards the smoke. I then manipulate my shadow to reach out from the ground and cover the smoke and condense it down with the clone inside, the smoke being too unbearable for the clone to breath any longer and it disperses.

Perfect execution!

Description: You first throw a smoke bomb at the opponent and then your shadow covers the smoke compressing it and trapping the opponent in a body suit shadow with the high pressure smoke crushing them form with in.

This next jutsu can be used in a lot of ways - you basically give your shadow a physical substance much like before but this time, they take the form of many needles that can pierce your opponents in many ways.
I'll teach you my favorite variant of using this - take these explosive tags on kunais and throw them into the air - then use the "needles" of your shadows to catch the kunais by the handles and toss them forward at my clone.

Shadow Sewing!! :T_T:

I gather in a portion of my chakra and then channel it to my shadow, it successfully bonds and becomes shadow chakra of the nara clan. I then make the rat hand seal and the shadow stretches forward, and then out of the shadow black needles form from the shadow. I then take from my pouch three kunai with explosive tag, I throw them up into the air and the shadow needles stretch from the ground and each needle catches the kunai by the loop on the end of the handle and then I throw the needles forward; the kunai being launched towards the clone and then when the explosive tags hit the clone they blow up after I perform the handseal to activate them. The needles retract into my shadow.

I throw some smoke bombs and you became a girl sensei! wut do I do???

 

[Adachi]

Well done.

The second one basically makes use of the first one and extends the needles even further. Only Shikamaru can use it though.

Alright, proceed to charge your Shadow chakra all around you and then spin it around you, representing much like a whirlwind - it should be strong enough to leave cracks upon the ground.

I gather in some raw chakra and channel it into my shadow to create the Kekkei genkei shadow chakra when I perform the rat hand seal. I then spread out the chakra around me and the shadow splits into many little ones which spin around me and posses a couple of clones whilst they spin. The shadows all then spin around me like a whirlwind, covering me and wrapping me in shadows as they tear through the possessed clones and they disperse from the impact of the shadow.

Alright, this next one is actually a combo move from Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3, for the PSP. Asuma and Shikamaru actually execute this together - but you can do it with a clone too.
Simply use shadow sewing in a straight line to trap my clone where he is, and then take out chakra blades, charge it with Wind chakra, and slash him in half.

I take out a chakra blade before starting and gather in chakra, I mold a portion into win chakra and channel it into the blade. I then send the rest into the shadow that follows me, converting that chakra into shadow chakra and then I stretch it forward towards the enemy clone and then using manipulation I form shadow needles that come out from the ground and stab the clone in it's legs and arms. I then run forwards and using the chakra blade I slash the clones neck as I get up to it, the clone disperses.

 

[Adachi]

Perfect. A fun combo if you have a Shadow Clone out.

Description: The user will trap their target with shadow sewing technique and have one their clones use a chakra blade to slash the target.
Note: Must be a member of the Nara clan and use shadow clone variant before use.

Now, begin with Shadow Sewing Technique, then once you trap my clone, form the Rat handseal to bring him closer to yourself, allowing you to finish him off in any way you like.
The thing I like about this jutsu is its versatility - it's a NUN3 move, I believe, where Shikamaru stabs someone with his shadows and then bring that opponent closer to himself, where he places an explosive tag on them and then causes it to detonate. Really creative stuff you can do at close range combat.
