Revision as of 12:23, 20 August 2015
The Shadow Imitation Technique is a signature technique of the Nara Clan which allows the user to manipulate their shadow.
Usage
The user extends their shadow on any surface (even water)[2] and as far as they want as long as there is a sufficient area. Once it comes into contact with a target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements. Therefore, the two can throw shuriken at each other at the same time if the user desires that (of course, to prevent hurting themselves, the user just has to have the shuriken holster in a place where you don't normally have it, like the back, so that the opponent draws nothing when the user draws a shuriken). If the target is out of range, the user can produce a better light source to increase their shadow's size or rely on pre-existing shadows for their shadow to freely travel through.[3] It's also possible to split one's shadow, either to trap more opponents at once, or to create a distraction.
Drawbacks
The major downside of the Shadow Imitation is that it is tiring to use repeatedly; Hidan notes that the ability is subject to some form of diminishing return and decreases in potency after repeated use (Shikamaru can only maintain it for 5 minutes per use).[4] If the user is low on chakra, the performance rate of the technique also deteriorates. Insufficient lighting will make the technique less effective. A particularly strong opponent can also resist the shadow's forced imitation. The technique also forces the user to move the same as the victim so if the victim was hit with enough blunt force to move them, the user has the movements forced on them.[5]
Trivia
- It was originally created somewhere in Konoha's region as a way to capture deer for their antlers. From there, it was treated as a secret technique, and transmitted to the following generations.[1]
- Shikaku Nara calls this technique by its old name: the Shadow Bind Technique (影縛りの術, Kageshibari no Jutsu, English TV: Shadow Paralysis Jutsu) (exactly "Leaf Secret: Shadow Bind Technique" (木ノ葉秘伝・影縛りの術, Konoha Hiden: Kageshibari no Jutsu, literally meaning: Tree Leaf Secret: Shadow Bind Technique). Shikamaru also uses this name in Naruto Shippūden the Movie: Bonds. The old version simply paralysed the target. The imitation aspect was apparently added sometime between Orochimaru's defection from Konoha and his later invasion of the village.
- It does not appear to affect the opponent's face, allowing them freedom of speech, thus this technique can be used for interrogation purposes.
- In the English dub of episode 112, after Shikimaru captures the Sound Four with this technique, Sakon states that he had mastered this technique as well.
- In the Naruto: Clash of Ninja series, Kakashi can perform this technique by copying it with his Sharingan.
- In Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, using this technique on multiple opponents at once gives it the name Eight Way Shadow Imitation Technique.
- The user of the technique has been shown to move the same way as the target if they are moved.[6]
- An error occurs when Shikamaru leads Hidan through a wooded area, but doesn't cause the technique to be cancelled due to a lack of a shadow here.
- In The Last: Naruto the Movie, Shikamaru was able to use this technique to manipulate the movements of several of Toneri's puppets despite remaining stationary.
