[VS] Shikamaru VS Zabuza

[KidGamer65]

I honestly don't understand how I'm supposed to convince you that you're wrong, in regards to Shikamaru being unable to manipulate his shadow however he chooses when he explicitly stated such.

The shadow is endowed with physical strength, and by transforming it and setting it in motion, one can deal direct damage to the enemy. The most efficient way to do so is strangulation, hence the name. Caption -Strange shadows shaped after hands. They bind themselves around the neck and steal life away!! Picture comment -The shorter the distance towards the target, the stronger the shadow gets. Konoha Hundred Leaves Collection Main text The basic application of House Nara's hijutsu (arcane art) is capture and restraint of the enemy, but it will prove efficient in many ways depending on how it is employed. The size of the area covered by the shadows cannot be changed. In regards with that limitation, this is by far the best jutsu in the set as far as successful use of said shadows' particularities is concerned. Transformation The shadow can be transformed. Utilizing that particularity, the caster can turn their shadow into a string-like shape, thus expanding its hitting range. It can also be ramified to attack multiple enemies. Enlargement If the sources of light themselves can be controlled, it's also possible to alter the surface covered by the shadow. A good grasp of the sun's location or even an artificial source of light will prove instrumental. Captions -A battle between "potentiality" and "limitations". -A large variety of shadow arts! Picture comments -With Kage Kubi Shibari, the shadows can be stretched thin enough to attack even [bodily] sections such as a finger. -Employ of a "hikaridama" (light ball), a ninja tool, enables dramatic alterations of the shadows, albeit temporarily. The key context: Transformation The shadow can be transformed. Utilizing that particularity, the caster can turn their shadow into a string-like shape, thus expanding its hitting range. It can also be ramified to attack multiple enemies. Enlargement If the sources of light themselves can be controlled, it's also possible to alter the surface covered by the shadow. A good grasp of the sun's location or even an artificial source of light will prove instrumental. What's being said here, and what I'm saying is that Shikadai's Shadow Possession isn't any different than what Shikamaru, or Shikaku can do, it's merely an enlargement in his shadow, something every Nara has shown to do, and what the DB, and manga have canonically stated they can manipulate in whichever form they wish as long as it stays within their limitations. The Shadow Possession Jutsu's limitation is noted in the Chunin Exams, and in the same explanation it's both shown, and stated the Nara are able to freely manipulate their shadow.

Then, once Zabuza attempts to silent kill (which he will), he'll be caught, and defeated. Spoiler You must be registered for see images

Which still doesn't change anything. This is the last time I'll tell you. Address the entire argument or don't quote me at all. Zabuza will see his shadow and avoid it and kill him with something that doesn't require him to enter striking range. That or what EZQ stated are what happens. Not this nonsense "Zabuza wanders into the shadow on purpose" or "Zabuza can't see the shadow because of his own mist" even though I've blatantly shown otherwise.

If all you can do is misconstrue my first post to try and spin the "Shikamaru vs. Zabuza" conversation into a clear win for Shikamaru then it's pretty clear who loses this fight.
