The truth about shadow clones.

[RedRobin]

Databook 1 - Kage Bunshin no Jutsu:
Shadow Clone Technique (影分身の術, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)
Ninjutsu, B-rank, Supplementary
Users: Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, et al

A ninjutsu that creates a true copy of something. What makes it different from the normal "Clone Technique"* is that it creates a clone with substance, making them able to perform physical attacks. It's a high grade ninjutsu, allowing the clone to various techniques of the user. It used to be Naruto's worst skill, but nowadays it's his favourite by far. The way he uses it is also extraordinarily clever.

That shadow
It changes into yet another real body!!

←↑By using the clone to attract the enemy's attention, the real body can appear from an unexpected place and launch an attack! This is the clever way the "Shadow Clone Technique" can be used.

Lol I never knew that. I guess I know now why they call it shadow clone justu.

Kage bunshin was explained by tobirama in the war arc

As expected of the first databook - breaking down the mechanics in Layman's terms, though that sentence actually confused me more than it enlightened me.

I dont get it why is it funny? It looks correct to me.

Laughing? Why?
