I think one of the reasons shadow clones don't fear dying is that they know they won't actually die in the way that counts. Since they have the exact same personality of the original, and any experiences they have are preserved, they simply merge back with the original.
yet they still have dreams about overthrowing the original naruto, even going so far as to say that they don't even know who the original is granted, that was a filler episode, but take that however you will
I think that Tobirama invented Shadow Clones by looking at Hashirama’s wood clones and going “But what if anyone could do it?” I also think that Shadow Clones have a much steeper usefulness curve to them than other physical clones. In the Forest of Death, for example, Orochimaru was impressed that Naruto was able to make a shadow clone that imitated his own personality. Therefore it must be immensely difficult to have a shadow clone shape chakra or actually pull off the “knowledge transfer” part of the jutsu. Which also explains why it’s so unthought of that Naruto is able to have a shadow clone gather Sage Chakra as well. By all rights it should be impossible.
I think that's just because Naruto was young and that was either a high churning level ability, or possibly even Jonin. It's probably not THAT hard to do if you have the proper chakra control. Which everyone counted Naruto out back then
don't quote me on this, but i believe it's just a shadow clone with more chakra pumped into it it follows a similar principal to naruto focusing all that chakra into that tiny point on the leaf marking in his palm and having it explode at will
I imagine you have read Itachi's light novel "Daylight". Itachi himself mentions that he uses the crows as a surprise factor! When the clone is struck the body breaks apart into loud screeching crows that disperse into the air into multiple directions, and disoreants the enemy creating a window in time as a competent distraction; the actual wielder can also make a critical battle decision during this window.
I think the sand clone still counts, in a way. We know Gaara can change the color of the sand to be a perfect copy of him through his Sand Armor, so he probably could apply it to his clones if he chose to. He simply does not because it is unnecessary in most of the times we see him use them. He is not usually the most deceptive or stealthy of ninja..
I don't know if I would agree. I think a fundamental piece of being a shadow clone (or shadow clone variant) it to be able to act independently and re-confer their chakra and experience back to the caster after disappearing. The way Hammer described them seems to imply that they operate more like sand puppets than sand clones a tool the Gaara controls in the moment rather than letting them operate independently.
What's with the negative attitudes 🤣 if you don't think the video was because of this guy that's fine but why would you wanna try and mess up someone else's day ?
@@notyourdaddude1957 The fact that over the past _several_ vids, I've seen only _one other person_ bring up the topic in the comments apart from myself. And that was only one time. Whereas I brought it up repeatedly, and at least one of them got a lot of likes.
I always thought that the water and rock clones warrant related to the shadow clone, that they were developed independently. In my mind the water cone use far less chakra but that white had to draw about of being weaker and with less range. Actually the reason why it has a short range is because it only has enough chakra to last a few minutes so if you run away it will run out of chakra before it could catch you.
Shadow clones is the most OP thing in naruto ..and it was way underused...the fact the you get the knowlage back when they go away is insane....you can have a shadow clone training while youre sleeping...
That was a retcon to justify Naruto rapid training. As if infinity chakra, and tons of clones was not enough. Even before the retcon naruto could still make a thousand clones, and if even 1 got an useful idea it could just tell the original.
There is also more. Namely the '1 hit and defeated' thing. I believe that is a lie. It's stated with Shadow Clones you can SET how durable they are. But the issue, and this is NEVER addressed in the show, is that Shadow Clones don't just share information, they share DAMAGE as well. So you could make a Shadow Clone with a damage threshold of "A broken Arm", but Once it gets that Broken Arm, and is defeated, it returns to the user who instantly gets a broken arm. Because of this, no one ever sets the damage threshold high, always 1 hit and break. But here's the thing, it can be used to massively trick an enemy, and it's NEVER used. Imagine getting punched and kicked, and not disappearing, tricking the enemy into thinking they are the real one. And when they go for the killing blow, the real body pops out and kills the enemy in a surprise attack. Of course once undone all the damage will return to the user, but they have won, are safe, and can go home and heal.
I theorize that Wood Clones we’re the first variant of the Clone Jutsu because Hashirama developed Wood Release was developed long before the ninja villages were established. I theorize the normal clone jutsu was created some time towards the creation of the Leaf Village.
I thought the chakra didn't return unless the caster willingly made the clone disappear. Like if the clone was destroyed they would lose that bit of chakra until they replenished it later
@@random.2973Because of 9 tails Naruto has an insane amount of chakra so it's hard to tell if he gets a return on chakra if they're destroyed in combat. The only thing we know for sure is that Naruto got sage mode chakra from willingly dispersing a clone with it.
what about paper and oil clones? not just Konan but Tobirama uses his to use his expanded explosive tag jutsu, then there's the Mizukage and his exploding oil clone, both of which I think are almost on par with Hashirama's wood clones
@Denzel Taylor no, not the reanimated jutsu, he uses a special paper clone that creates the paper bombs that just keep exploding, cuz he also created the exploding tag multiplication jutsu, I'm probably wording it wrong but that's what I'm talking about
@@theMaDNesS201 those are the same thing. He summons a dead person back using Edo Tensei, and instead of using the earth around the sacrificial body to make that persons appearance, tobirama uses explosive tags. And so as that Edo Tensei body keeps exploding, it’s keeps regenerating out of explosive tags, which continues the explosion.
@@brodyhibbard816 I didn't mean when Konan uses that jutsu, but she just has paper clones, she uses them a lot, she even says at one point no more paper clones, at least in the translation, learning Japanese so yeah, also its been a while since I've watched that fight. However I did not know thats how Tobirama's jutsu worked, so thanks for that
It is important to remember Itachi is a genjutsu genius, on top of having the mangekyo He showed, at least in the manga, the hability to use a crow as a medium to cast genjutsu. Crow Shadow Clone Jutsu very well could have served Itachi as sort of a "trap clone". You fight it, and if you win, you still have to deal with the crows and the very probable wave of genjutsu they brought with them.
I wish wind clones and fire clones were shown, I would imagine that if a wind clone was hit, the enemy would get cut up and a fire clone would burn the person
You know when it comes to the Shadow Clone Jutsu that must incur some severe PTSD. If every clone returns to the host and shares its experience, Naruto must’ve experience his own death thousands of time by now. Imagine having nightmares about dying 1000 times, over and over again; one for every shadow clone that’s been dispelled
@@Sweetlesishere Sure you experience a brief moment of life only to experience getting speared through the chest, lit on fire, torn asunder, stabbed god knows how many times, and then be cool with it. There are people who fire a gun and then claim they have PTSD.
@@Egryn a lot of Konoha leaf ninja from part one look like they've seen some shit or are holding something back, probably at least from the ninetails attacks. Genma, Asuma, Ibiki and others seem like hardened veterans that probably have their own experiences with PTSD, but overall I don't think Kishimoto has really gone much into the issue.
@@Sweetlesishere probably not but the human mind can only take so much. In fact Kakashi ends up developing PTSD. It’s why he became the ANBU he did and why becoming a teacher saved his life. When facing traumatic experiences you either become addicted to it, or you find every way not to experience again. On a lighter note, I’m sure the first person ever to make a clone probably shit his pants.
@@Egryn well one of the ways you cope is to full the pain and your own emotions, which Kakashi has successfully done. Ninja are just tools of war and they're aware of this, and will give their lives for the mission. Kakashi's father Sakumo's death and the Obito/Rin situation had certain implications that probably weighed on him specifically more than any clone jutsu he's used. Most non anbu are borderline regular people on the surface level and won't hesitate to kill but are def mentally weaker on average, but the clone jutsu isn't a real experience. Probably overall an oversight for Kishimoto
Nick, I look forward to and appreciate your content. Your dedication, thoroughness, and imaginative views are badass... Then you elaborate to fully explain/(dis)prove said point/s. Thank you, keep at it bub.
I can definitely understand the ranking u gave the Shadow clone technique as it's a technique that in order to get the most potential benefits from it u need a rediculicy huge reserve of chakra like Naruto has it's like when Ebisu explains chakra control management and it's benefits to Naruto using the Shadow clone technique as an example.
Actually I think it says either in the novels or the databook that Itachi chooses crows because they could be used as a diversion afterwards, making it much more effective then a basic shadow clone
So now I'm imaging clones made of other substances that act as mediums to transfer damage once they expire. Like if fire clone existed and once the expiration happened it would burst into flames. Or if wind was used, it would release compressed air, like a knock back effect. Metal clone, would be tougher to disrupt, drawback is that it requires more effort to use. Magma, would burn to punch such a hot surface, and any over penatration would lead to more burns. Of course you could figure out the drawbacks or counters but these are what came to mind at the moment of watching this video.
The naruto filler with the shadow clones revolting against naruto with all of them being different parts of naruto was funny but accurate to the shadow clone lore 😂
Hey, new sub here! I've been binge watching your channel after discovering it today. Could you do a video on how Hashirama died? I like your theory videos.
Naruto is _not_ an idiot, after all. He noticed that the stronger a foe is, the more likely they are to be taken off-guard by Sexy Jutsu. I'm not sure if it's due to how unexpected it is, or if strong people just tend to be degenerates in the Narutoverse, but it works either way.
I really appreciate all you videos for some who are very lonely listening to you while you look at the screen is like having a friend around something I have been in need of for years
Could you cover these theories & their possibilities?: 1. Any Uchiha, Senju or Uzumaki can unlock the Rinnegan by learning all 3 types of Sage Mode: Snake, Toad & Slug (Hashirama). The 3 Sage locations are Mt. Myoboku, Ryuki Cave & Shikotsu forest, where Katsuyu is from. 2. Any Hyūga can unlock the Tenseigan by mastering the 8 gates & all 3 types of Sage Mode. 3. The fully mastered Rinnegan gives access to all Nature Transformations, including Kekkei Genkai, Tota & everything beyond that. 4. Mei can use Wood & has a Kekkei Tota as a by-product of her duel Genkai, but never realized it. 5. Where did the 1st Snake Sage get their Nature Energy from? The only known way to become a Snake Sage is getting bitten by another, so how did the 1st get their power? Could you rank Naruto's Love Interests, including non-canon ones? Shizuka & Shion are my favorites after Hinata. Could you cover the best & worst HxH theories on your new channel?
You forgot to mention that the user of a wood clone is able to know what’s happening to the clone without it having the knowledge transferred back after being defeated like a shadow clone.
Some insanely powerful jutsus only showed up once (because the plot needed them) and never again. Some of those would have been great against all kinds of villains but the heroes (of course) couldn't learn these things the villains did off-screen for this one event and never again...
If only the limbo Madara had his clones in was the same limbo refered to when talking about someone passing to the purelands like when Kakashi saw his father. It would've been cool for his father to help against madara by fighting clones in limbo.
Naruto's multi shadow clones is one of the earliest examples of his power scaling that I think gets slept on a bit, because it perfectly splits your chakra by the amount of clones you have, the fact that he was able to even keep standing after generating dozens if not hundreds of clones is pretty insane, even with some of kurama's chakra leaking through the seal.
Are we not going to talk about how poorly out of sync this video is? Like midway through his better help segment the whole video got badly out of sync. Edit: I should have said something sooner, but you are goated for how quickly you fixed the video.
Something interesting I really like about the shadow clone justu! Kakashis teaches us that it was created, not necessarily to help kill Uchiha directly, but specifically because clones can gather their own information and experience, and transfer it back to the user when cancelled, at no cost other than chakra. It was used for information gathering/spying, and I think that's neat.
ive never even watched naruto but ive been binging a ton of your naruto videos. you’re the reason i enjoy your content, not because its naruto. you explain stuff so well
I didn’t know that shadow clones return the chakra back to the user when they disperse. Now it makes a little more sense as to why naruto can spam it so much without exhaustion to me
That’s also why when he was rushing to learn sage justu he used a bunch of shadow clones xD. Thought it was self explanatory especially in the original Naruto?
@@therandomblackguy1983 nah original Naruto doesn't go into it. All we know about SCJ in the original is that the First Hokage created the technique, its a forbidden jutsu and its unheard of for a student in the academy to not only get their hands on it but to learn it and use it to the mastery that naruto did. Shippuden is where we meet Yamato and its during Naruto's training with him, Kakashi (and I think Sai was there maybe) that we learn that everything that your clones experience and learn is returned to you.
You know... I am surprised there were no lava release, ice release, wind release, fire release, boil release, explosion release or magnet release clones. Those would just be nasty with their side effects to destroying them.
I like water clones placing cus hypothetically speaking since the clone reverts to water/mist and can be controlled, wouldn't it be likely with enough skill/training the user could disperse certain parts of the clone as an attack/defense justu during the fight? Depending on the users I'd put it higher imo.
The crow clone is actually super interesting. Having only seen the anime and not read the manga, I’ve always assumed crow clones were just genjutsu and he had them explode/slowly leak into clones as a fear tactic.
I feel like you missed a very powerful one. Guren's crystal clone had to be up there with wood clones as far as durability before they explode. Plus she could change their shape like wood clones.
Thank you for these explanations. I never understood that the Shadow Clone technique was a forbidden jutsu and only Naruto used it. It's like the technique was made just for him
Just wanted to add that shadow clone jutsu become unstable and disappear at some distance. Though the sage Chakra can extend that range. Also Kisame turned his waterclones into water prisons which is a sick way to stop opponents. However, very comprehensive video.
That was apart of the nerf, which was also another reason why Madara stopped using Susanno, preta path and wood release in general after he became the Juubi Jinchuuriki, Kishimoto realized Madara was becoming too OP so he had to nerfed and make him not use his OP attacks. Madara states that Limbo is another him from another world, it makes no sense how they would not be able to use ninjutsu. Just when BSM Naruto said he couldn't wait to use frog kata in that form, but never used it. Does that mean he can't use frog kata while he has sage mode stacked on Kurama mode????
Imthink it's pretty obvious that Madara's Limbo Clones are the best because their power is an exact copy of Madara's (meaning Madara doesn't half his Chakra with every clone he makes) and they can't be seen or sensed through conventional means however the usefulness of Shadow Clones put the, at a very close 2nd in my opinion because of their knowledge transfer ability.
havent watched the video yet, but this would be my guest to the winner " Limbo Clone " mainly for the reason that its in a diffrent relm and you can only sense if youre a sage and see if your have the rinnegan
what about konan's paper clones? They can use explosive tags and fuinjutsu on them to do things. She literally used them to suicide bomb people - and they were also easily able to stay in combat despite Aburame insects eating the chakra forming them as well as covering them entirely. More on that, they're from a resource (paper) so they're less chakra intensive than regular shadow clones and are also incredibly easy to form due to the material being practically everywhere. Plus, they don't seem to disperse on impact that easy.
Fun fact but there was a filler episode where Naruto's shadow clones turned on him and wouldn't listen to him and they all fought over who should be the real one, as a kid this confused me so badly that I thought Naruto didn't HAVE an original body when he made shadow clones and that the "real body" was simply whichever one was standing last, but then of course against Kaguya we confirm that Naruto does have a real body since he deliberately moves the truthseeker orbs to a clone to confuse Black Zetsu and Kaguya.
Ninja also have to know the body flicker technique as a basis. Every single ninja uses it for transportation and characters like the raikage and shisui use it in active combat.
I believe how clone techniques work is according to mental energy. It's difficult to control and modulate mental energy by itself, so a base clone technique is simply mirroring your very intent and in turn a cast of yourself without form and in small quantity. Techniques such as shadow clone like you stated is implicating chakra forms or chakra in congregation with a medium like shadows to act as a physical base for this mental energy to form. Mental energy without physical energy is sporadic as seen in shikimaru's fight. So, if you employ a medium like shadows to create this clone you're capable of invoking instructions without the mental energy dissipating in which these techniques are more implacable in which you can form a larger quantity without struggling. But, this gives me an idea. Cast yourself in a genjutsu in an attempt to deceive your perception of your mental energy to form a psuedo-clone that shouldn't belong to you. Say you have a dojutsu that allows you to see someone's mental chakra signature in which you take that and employ that in your mind in said genjutsu in which you use this as a template for whatever chakra base you use in which this clone would conform to that being and plausibly utilize their abilities or form. hypothetically 🤓 you could take anyone's abilities and place it into a clone and possibly with enough chakra form someone's dojutsu or possibly a false tailed beast.
So, question. If a Shinobi creates 3 shadow clones, they would have 25% of their chakra. If one of the clones created a shadow clone, would the secondary clone cut the primary clones chakra (12.5%/12.5%) or would it still pull from the original Shinobi?
Garra's sand clones looking like sand instead of himself doesn't have to be a weakness, if he stops his sand armour looking like himself instead of sand.
I feel like when you create the shadow closes is when you decide their “path” whether it be free acting or pushing for a general purpose such as mass defense of Naruto!

Hey, new sub here! I've been binge watching your channel after discovering it today.
Could you do a video on how Hashirama died? I like your theory videos.
The most powerful clones are the sexy jutso clones. It worked on the homkage, Jiraya and kaguya
Naruto is _not_ an idiot, after all. He noticed that the stronger a foe is, the more likely they are to be taken off-guard by Sexy Jutsu. I'm not sure if it's due to how unexpected it is, or if strong people just tend to be degenerates in the Narutoverse, but it works either way.
I really appreciate all you videos for some who are very lonely listening to you while you look at the screen is like having a friend around something I have been in need of for years
Imagine if Naruto decided to learn literally any of the variants of shadow Clones Jitsu and combined them in combat
We here! Anime this month has been amazing in general. Have any of you seen Vash the Stampede?
The insect clone could be made out of poison insects or chakra eating insects or even have tracker insects that give away your position
Could you cover these theories & their possibilities?:
1. Any Uchiha, Senju or Uzumaki can unlock the Rinnegan by learning all 3 types of Sage Mode: Snake, Toad & Slug (Hashirama). The 3 Sage locations are Mt. Myoboku, Ryuki Cave & Shikotsu forest, where Katsuyu is from.
2. Any Hyūga can unlock the Tenseigan by mastering the 8 gates & all 3 types of Sage Mode.
3. The fully mastered Rinnegan gives access to all Nature Transformations, including Kekkei Genkai, Tota & everything beyond that.
4. Mei can use Wood & has a Kekkei Tota as a by-product of her duel Genkai, but never realized it.
5. Where did the 1st Snake Sage get their Nature Energy from? The only known way to become a Snake Sage is getting bitten by another, so how did the 1st get their power?
Could you rank Naruto's Love Interests, including non-canon ones? Shizuka & Shion are my favorites after Hinata.
Could you cover the best & worst HxH theories on your new channel?
The first 2 seem incredibly unlikely, the third is already canon
You forgot to mention that the user of a wood clone is able to know what’s happening to the clone without it having the knowledge transferred back after being defeated like a shadow clone.
Some insanely powerful jutsus only showed up once (because the plot needed them) and never again. Some of those would have been great against all kinds of villains but the heroes (of course) couldn't learn these things the villains did off-screen for this one event and never again...
Itachi has a super explosive clone that you forgot about. He detonates a clone when fighting asuma and Kakashi
🙌🏻🤝🏻🫡
If only the limbo Madara had his clones in was the same limbo refered to when talking about someone passing to the purelands like when Kakashi saw his father.
It would've been cool for his father to help against madara by fighting clones in limbo.
Naruto's multi shadow clones is one of the earliest examples of his power scaling that I think gets slept on a bit, because it perfectly splits your chakra by the amount of clones you have, the fact that he was able to even keep standing after generating dozens if not hundreds of clones is pretty insane, even with some of kurama's chakra leaking through the seal.
Are we not going to talk about how poorly out of sync this video is? Like midway through his better help segment the whole video got badly out of sync.
Edit: I should have said something sooner, but you are goated for how quickly you fixed the video.
Something interesting I really like about the shadow clone justu!
Kakashis teaches us that it was created, not necessarily to help kill Uchiha directly, but specifically because clones can gather their own information and experience, and transfer it back to the user when cancelled, at no cost other than chakra. It was used for information gathering/spying, and I think that's neat.
21:22 I will agree that it's strong, Deidara's C4 clone and the one that almost blew up team gai/7 was pretty strong
Love the vids i tune in every single time u upload on all channels keep it up man i love watching u💯❣️
Yo luv ur videos keep up the good work
Yo NC, it would be dope if you did a breakdown of Rurouni Kenshin. I don't think anyone could do it better than you.
ive never even watched naruto but ive been binging a ton of your naruto videos. you’re the reason i enjoy your content, not because its naruto. you explain stuff so well
Wtf
I didn’t know that shadow clones return the chakra back to the user when they disperse. Now it makes a little more sense as to why naruto can spam it so much without exhaustion to me
He also had his sugar daddy Kurama lending him Chakra like it was a Citibank Platinum credit card
That’s also why when he was rushing to learn sage justu he used a bunch of shadow clones xD. Thought it was self explanatory especially in the original Naruto?
@@therandomblackguy1983 nah original Naruto doesn't go into it. All we know about SCJ in the original is that the First Hokage created the technique, its a forbidden jutsu and its unheard of for a student in the academy to not only get their hands on it but to learn it and use it to the mastery that naruto did.
Shippuden is where we meet Yamato and its during Naruto's training with him, Kakashi (and I think Sai was there maybe) that we learn that everything that your clones experience and learn is returned to you.
Yo nick nice video love to see it ❤
5:04 the way my guy moves/twitches his whole body while talking is nuts
You know... I am surprised there were no lava release, ice release, wind release, fire release, boil release, explosion release or magnet release clones. Those would just be nasty with their side effects to destroying them.
NCHammer23 got some great vids
I like water clones placing cus hypothetically speaking since the clone reverts to water/mist and can be controlled, wouldn't it be likely with enough skill/training the user could disperse certain parts of the clone as an attack/defense justu during the fight? Depending on the users I'd put it higher imo.
But that's my hypothetical and my opinion.
Love your channels and thank you for all the content! These notifs are definitely a silver lining in my day.
I appreciate all these videos. Also just learned you’re a biochemist?!!
Damn man, can we have some swag too?..😂😅
Lol'd at the chidori "blow(ing) Rin's back out when kakashi was 13". 20:41
Facts I enjoy the energy in the videos
Please make a space-time ninjutsu ranked and explained video.
The crow clone is actually super interesting. Having only seen the anime and not read the manga, I’ve always assumed crow clones were just genjutsu and he had them explode/slowly leak into clones as a fear tactic.
I feel like you missed a very powerful one. Guren's crystal clone had to be up there with wood clones as far as durability before they explode. Plus she could change their shape like wood clones.
Water clone and sexy jutsu no memory comes back..... yeah keep the strongest.
another great vid as always, keep up the good work!!!😄
Great list and ranking. Didn’t madara get killed because of a wood clone? Guess he didn’t see that coming.❤
20:41 don't know if that's the best way to word that lmao
Thank you for these explanations. I never understood that the Shadow Clone technique was a forbidden jutsu and only Naruto used it. It's like the technique was made just for him
Just wanted to add that shadow clone jutsu become unstable and disappear at some distance. Though the sage Chakra can extend that range. Also Kisame turned his waterclones into water prisons which is a sick way to stop opponents. However, very comprehensive video.
"It Blew rins back out when kakashi was 13" was my favorite line of all time
We definitely love your content for you NC Hammer!!!!
Another great video!
So, crow clones are basically a flock of crows in a trenchcoat?
I agree 💯 with limbo clones being number one they stand out over all other clones
Notifications on guys, I ain’t finish the vid yet but Ik it’s finna be 🔥 🔥
Love your vin nick keep up the good work
This is a good format, you should rank elemental jutsus too e.g all fire jutsus ranked, all lightning jutsus ranked etc
This channel is very underrated
I think Madara's Limbo can only use physical strength, since none of his clones actually use jutsu when fighting Naruto and Sasuke
That was apart of the nerf, which was also another reason why Madara stopped using Susanno, preta path and wood release in general after he became the Juubi Jinchuuriki, Kishimoto realized Madara was becoming too OP so he had to nerfed and make him not use his OP attacks. Madara states that Limbo is another him from another world, it makes no sense how they would not be able to use ninjutsu. Just when BSM Naruto said he couldn't wait to use frog kata in that form, but never used it. Does that mean he can't use frog kata while he has sage mode stacked on Kurama mode????
Imthink it's pretty obvious that Madara's Limbo Clones are the best because their power is an exact copy of Madara's (meaning Madara doesn't half his Chakra with every clone he makes) and they can't be seen or sensed through conventional means however the usefulness of Shadow Clones put the, at a very close 2nd in my opinion because of their knowledge transfer ability.
havent watched the video yet, but this would be my guest to the winner " Limbo Clone " mainly for the reason that its in a diffrent relm and you can only sense if youre a sage and see if your have the rinnegan
"would you like these clones to use susanoo"
*madara said calmly*
Aoba Yamashiro also used crows as a form of attack. However, he does not uses crows as clones.
what about konan's paper clones? They can use explosive tags and fuinjutsu on them to do things.
She literally used them to suicide bomb people - and they were also easily able to stay in combat despite Aburame insects eating the chakra forming them as well as covering them entirely.
More on that, they're from a resource (paper) so they're less chakra intensive than regular shadow clones and are also incredibly easy to form due to the material being practically everywhere.
Plus, they don't seem to disperse on impact that easy.
Do a video of each characters list of who they killed (kinda like a resume of who they’ve killed)
Fun fact but there was a filler episode where Naruto's shadow clones turned on him and wouldn't listen to him and they all fought over who should be the real one, as a kid this confused me so badly that I thought Naruto didn't HAVE an original body when he made shadow clones and that the "real body" was simply whichever one was standing last, but then of course against Kaguya we confirm that Naruto does have a real body since he deliberately moves the truthseeker orbs to a clone to confuse Black Zetsu and Kaguya.
"I licked a battery in middle school, and I still feel it sometimes" lmaoooo
“Because he called a woman a donkey”
How straight his face was saying that killed me
Love your videos
Ninja also have to know the body flicker technique as a basis. Every single ninja uses it for transportation and characters like the raikage and shisui use it in active combat.
this probably wont mean much but you are my favorite youtuber!
I believe how clone techniques work is according to mental energy. It's difficult to control and modulate mental energy by itself, so a base clone technique is simply mirroring your very intent and in turn a cast of yourself without form and in small quantity. Techniques such as shadow clone like you stated is implicating chakra forms or chakra in congregation with a medium like shadows to act as a physical base for this mental energy to form. Mental energy without physical energy is sporadic as seen in shikimaru's fight. So, if you employ a medium like shadows to create this clone you're capable of invoking instructions without the mental energy dissipating in which these techniques are more implacable in which you can form a larger quantity without struggling. But, this gives me an idea. Cast yourself in a genjutsu in an attempt to deceive your perception of your mental energy to form a psuedo-clone that shouldn't belong to you. Say you have a dojutsu that allows you to see someone's mental chakra signature in which you take that and employ that in your mind in said genjutsu in which you use this as a template for whatever chakra base you use in which this clone would conform to that being and plausibly utilize their abilities or form. hypothetically 🤓 you could take anyone's abilities and place it into a clone and possibly with enough chakra form someone's dojutsu or possibly a false tailed beast.
I was always confused why Madara signed the wood clone jutsu different from how Hashirama did 🤨
So, question. If a Shinobi creates 3 shadow clones, they would have 25% of their chakra. If one of the clones created a shadow clone, would the secondary clone cut the primary clones chakra (12.5%/12.5%) or would it still pull from the original Shinobi?
Garra's sand clones looking like sand instead of himself doesn't have to be a weakness, if he stops his sand armour looking like himself instead of sand.
I mean, crow clones are Hella cool considering they can regroup after dispersing. I imagine insect clones work the same.
I love all everything you do truly
You forgot about the second mizukage oil clone that is insanely strong and gives wood clone a run for his money
That's actually just a Water Clone. The oil is something he added in separately.
When you doing another unboxing video i love them hate that u stopped
I feel like when you create the shadow closes is when you decide their “path” whether it be free acting or pushing for a general purpose such as mass defense of Naruto!
I love you! Soul Eater content?🥺
I like that jo blo references at the beginning 😂
