Changes: Clone Techniques

Revision as of 19:49, 25 December 2013

Naruto Uzumaki using a Clone Technique: the Shadow Clone Technique.

Clone Techniques (分身術, Bunshinjutsu) are techniques that create a copy of the user or objects used by them. The standard Clone Technique is considered the most basic of basic ninjutsu. Despite this, clone techniques are very versatile and useful, and are often used to distract or fool enemies into thinking that they have delivered a critical or fatal hit to the user, leaving the enemy vulnerable. The various villages have created their own characteristic forms of clone techniques. Besides these, there are a dozens of other clone techniques in existence, some of which are extraordinarily difficult to use.

There are various methods of creating clones. The most commonly used clone techniques use only chakra to create the clone. After these, clone techniques that use a medium seem to be most common. These clone techniques use various elements to give the clone form and substance. There are also clone techniques that transform another person or animal into a clone of the user. Finally, there are clone techniques that make use of genjutsu to create illusionary clones.

Trivia

They are also known as Clone Ninja Techniques (分身忍術, Bunshin Ninjutsu).
Despite there being basic nature transformation clones, and even advanced nature ones, there has yet to have been a clone technique using basic Fire Release or Wind Release.
