Kage Bunshin no Jutsu

Shadow Clone Jutsu

影分身の術

Used by Naruto Uzumaki in Naruto

Description

Naruto's most signature technique. Unlike basic Clone Jutsu which creates illusions, Shadow Clone Jutsu creates physical clones with real mass that can act independently. Each clone shares memories with Naruto upon dispersal. Naruto can create thousands due to his enormous chakra reserves. Originally a forbidden jutsu mastered by Naruto at age 12.

Trivia & Notes

  • Originally a forbidden jutsu stolen from the Third Hokage's forbidden scroll
  • Naruto's massive chakra reserves (from the Nine-Tails) allow him to create far more clones than any normal ninja
  • The memory-sharing mechanic becomes crucial to Naruto's training acceleration
