Why doesn't Sasuke utilize clones?

[sharingansennin]

It's obviously something with sharingan that could be very advantageous and he's got a great understanding of them having fought Naruto all his life. Especially since he has great techniques of all kinds and could make a devestating combination attack.

 

[The Necromancer]

It's not his style. That's the only reason most people don't use them.

 

[Hipster Deidara]

Almost no one uses clones but Naruto who made the jutsu overrated.

 

[Uchiha Josephus]

It seems like a technique that, in theory, should be utilized by all shinobi - yet we don't see it very often. So it's either 1) more difficult than it looks or 2) simply doesn't fit a shinobis style of fighting.

 

[GreyWizard93]

I believe it requires good chakra reserves.
like said above, its not his style.
sasuke is too bad ass for using clones.
Can you imagine the 2 main dudes both using shadow clone jutsu??
(It would suck and look horrible, even when they fight)

 

[Saikyokami]

pretty sure you have to have like a shit load of chakra for shadow clones, Kakashi barley made one.

Looks like more than one to me and he was low on chakra and made that many, and Sasuke should have way more chakra than kakashi.

same reason Commander Shepard and Master Chief (from Halo) never get promoted . . . plot

seems like kishi wants Kage bunshin to be a "Naruto" exclusive

Both Naruto and kakashi used shadow clones at that time unless you can show a scan of Naruto using a transformation jutsu

 

[FourthSmokage]

Well when Naruto rasengan's Sasuke right in the face, Sasuke's going to wish he shadow clone'd.

I second this

 

[9tailsJinchuuriki]

It's a waste of chakra, unless you have a massive amount.

 

[Xlad]

It not his fighting style.
And T Bogard explanation should help:

Spoiler

It's a wrong way of thinking. Like i show, as long as you have chakra, you can split it to as much clones as you want since no matter how divided your chakra is, it's never 0

It's for that reason why even a tired Kakashi after a battle against Zabuza

managed to create more than 20clones

, but like he said himself it was just a bluff. He couldn't have hold the jutsu, let alone battle with them.

In the scenario of Kakashi's feat, let's say he has 1/100 of his chakra left and he made say 50 clones, the total chakra in each one would be 0.02/100. This is why Kakashi tried to bluff with the clones, if it actually came down to it Kakashi wouldn't be able fight effectively with any one of them. Not only that but with a chakra so close to zero, you can die very quickly depending on the efforts you make while/after using the technique, since when your chakra reach zero, you could die if you have no stamina left

So you can create as much clone as you want, but depending on the amount of chakra in each clone, it's not only hard to maintain them, but you put yourself in a life or death situation if you overexert yourself. It's for that reason that this jutsu is not suited for people with little chakra, reason why those type of ninja usually use a limited amount of clone during fights in order not to get your chakra go to waste uselessly

If you use one clone, him and the original will have a half of chakra(50%)
If you make 2clones, it's split in 3, so roughly 33.33% of chakra for each
If you make 3clones, it's split in 4, so 25% of chakra for each
If you make 4clones, it's split in 5, so 10% of chakra for each
... and so on

And obviously more there is chakra in clone(s), more time you have to use them in battle. It's for that reason that for example when Naruto's clone was practically out of his chakra, he feared to disappear [

[Naijakid]

He doesn't have the reserves for clones

 

[slimreaper]

He doesn't have the reserves for clones

but kakashi and itachi do?

 

[Equalist]

It's just not Sasuke's style. Simple as that. If you want you could say that he never focused on using clones because it wouldn't help him complete his goal. Remember Sasuke only went in balls deep in order to kill his brother. Knowing how to use shadow clones is useless against an Uchiha especially Itachi. Sasuke's training was honed to kill Itachi. Clones would only have compromised his ability to do so.
