Description: The Shadow Style: Shadow Clone, despite its name is more akin to the various elemental clone jutsu. The Nara member will focus his chakra into the thier shadow, causing it to rise up, forming out two duplicates of the user, though jet black in appearance. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the clone is injured enough it will revert back to a normal shadow. The clone itself has no chakra pool of its own; it remains connected to the user by a thin strand of shadow. Instead, the user is able to use the shadow clone as relay point, projecting jutsu out from the clone as if it were the real user, thus extending the reach of his/her jutsu. The clone automatically disperses when the user runs out of chakra, or when hit by any attack that can cause a noteworthy level of physical damage [second/third degree burns, broken bones, stab wounds, etc].

Name: 影槍の術 {Kagebuki no Jutsu ~ Shadow Weapon Technique}
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: C-A.
Type: Offensive.
Element: Yin {Shadow Style}
Range: Create within 1m of the user.
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: [Maintainable]
Cooldown: 4 posts after destruction.
Description: The user applies shape manipulation to a nearby shadow to solidify it and make it into the form of a weapon. It may be a maximum of 7ft in length; it acts as a weapon of equal rank to the jutsu that created it. The weapon can be wielded indefinitely so long as the creator's shadow is beneath it or the creator is in contact with it. If neither of these conditions are met, the weapon disperses 2 posts after it was deprived of contact with the creator. The weapon, however, can be passed through by other Shadow jutsu, increasing their range by the length of the weapon.
C-Rank: At this rank, the weapon can cause moderate bruising if the target is struck with any part of the weapon. However, the blade/point is capable of piercing/cutting up to two inches deep. Costs 5 chakra per turn to maintain.
B-Rank: At this ranking, the weapon is capable of causing deep tissue bruising, as well as piercing/cutting up to three and a half inches into flesh. A direct strike on bone can break through it, cleaving it in twain. Costs 5 chakra per post to maintain.
A-Rank: At this ranking, the weapon is capable of piercing/cutting completely through an opponent if striking into a soft area or cutting completely through bone without an issue. Costs 10 chakra per turn to maintain.
Name: Summoning: Shadow Wolf

Range: Up to 30 meters from the user.
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: [Maintainable]
Cooldown: Duration +2
Description: While not a summon per se, this jutsu makes use of the art of misdirection to fool an opponent. After focusing chakra into thier shadow or one that they are connected to, the user molds thier chakra into the form of a wolf, jet black in appearance. This chakra beast is independant of the user's shadow, and is able to move up to thirty meters away from the user at 40m/s. This wolf has the same strength as a normal C rank combat pet( can cause moderate bruises, 1-3 inch cuts, i.e. can chip/fracture bone, not likely, but can cause death.), and is destroyed when hit by any attack that can cause a noteworthy level of physical damage [second/third degree burns, broken bones, stab wounds, etc].
While the Wolf is active, it can also be used as a tracking aid. The creater retains a mental connection to the wolf, able to sense what the wolf is seeing, despite not actually seeing it themselves. If the wolf is destoryed, the user will gain access to the 'memories' of the wolf, allowing him to see/hear/smell what the creature saw during its lifespan.
Name: Shadow Style: Hiding in Shadows Technique
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Element: Shadow
Range: Self
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: -5 per post [Max of 5 posts]
Cooldown: Duration + 2
Description: A technique in which the user is capable of concealing themselves in a shadow. By charging thier body with chakra, the user is capable of minor shadow manipulation; sinking into the shadow of a person or object to hide themselves. While hidden in the shadow of a person, the user moves with that person, remaining locked into thier shadow until they wish to exit. This makes this technique perfect for infiltration. In addition, the user is able to 'jump' shadows; moving into another shadow if the one they currently occupy crosses over it, but this is limited to once per post. While the user is hidden, they can only be detected by sensory skills one rank above them.
In order to do this, certain rules must be followed. First and formost, the user cannot sink into thier own shadow. Attempting to do so will result in wasted chakra. Secondly, the user can only sink into a shadow that is equal to or greater than his/her body size. That means no sinking into the shadow of a blade of grass or pebble. Third, the user can be forced out of this technique relatively easily, by flooding the area with enough light to remove the shadows (a flash bomb, a katon or raiton element jutsu c rank or above within 3 meters of the user). If this is done, the user will instantaneously be forced out of the technique, and riddled with the feeling of third degree burns across thier entire body for one post (No actual damage is done to the user. This is merely the nerve receptors recovering from the shock of the chakra being disrupted).

Cooldown: Duration +2
Description: The Shadow Imitation Technique allows the user to extend their shadow on any surface (even water) 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. It's also possible to split one's shadow, either to trap more opponents at once, or to create a distraction. The shadow can also be attached to people without binding them, letting the "victim" move freely. Doing that has the purpose that the person, the shadow was attached to, makes contact with a third person, to bind the latter one with the shadow.
The amount of people who can be effect depends on the rank of the user/jutsu used:
D-Rank: 1 Person
C-Rank: 3 People
B-Rank: 5 People
A-Rank: 10 People
S-Rank: 15 People
SS-Rank: 25 People

Range: 0-20 meters
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 5 post
Description: A technique that follows the Shadow Imitation Technique. After binding a target with their Shadow Imitation jutsu, a Shadow hand will form from the shadow and ride up the users body to the neck. The technique will then begin to apply a physical force that mimics as if the target is being strangled. If the technique is accomplished for an entire post, the target will pass out from being strangled. This technique can be existed if the one it is being casted on has at least 75 more chakra than the user. Canceling the jutsu.
This technique can be broke by releasing a large amount of chakra, via entering a curse seal mode, releasing tailed beast chakra, Entering Master Sage mode, things that are understandable. Not just releasing your own normal chakra.
Can be used on up too two targets at one time

Description: The user materializes and extends their shadow along a surface, before merging it with that of the intended target, allowing them to grab hold of and manipulate the object in question as they desire almost as if it were an extension of themselves. Unlike with the Shadow Imitation Technique, though the two shadows are connected, the target is not forced to copy the user's movements, allowing them to retain their own range of motion.
Name: Shadow Sewing Technique

Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Element: Shadow Release
Range: Close to Mid-Range
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: -5 Chakra Per Post
Cooldown: Duration +3
Description: This is a ninjutsu from among the Nara clan's secret techniques that uses materialized shadows to attack and bind, instead of merely immobilizing and controlling like the Shadow Imitation Technique. The user changes the shape of their shadow into several sharp needles and controls each separately. They can then attack several targets simultaneously and at the same time snatch away their ability to move by sewing them stuck with the shadow threads. Because it is a physical attack, it is impossible to capture someone without harming them, but on the other hand, since the speed of invocation and the time of duration are excellent, it can be used when urgent restraint is required.
This technique is usually used to go through the target and capture them, but depending on the opponent, it can also be used as an attack to bring them down. This special characteristic finds its greatest effect when used as logistical support. After this technique hits someone, it can then be directly transformed back into the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Description: This is a ninjutsu using materialized shadows, but compared to the Shadow Sewing Technique from the same line, this technique places emphasis on the minute control of the shadow's movements. It is accurate enough to even make the tentacles go through tiny holes. Basically, this technique takes the user's own shadow and transforms and stretches it into countless thin tentacles, which are then used to grab objects and pull them in. Also, one can skillfully make use of the tentacle-shaped shadow tendrils by using them to lift up and throw weapons like kunai and such. This technique has many possible applications and uses.

Description: The user forms their shadow into a sharp blade, surrounded by the shadows it was created from. The blade can be sent towards targets from a distance and acts like a normal blade would, piercing the target's body on contact: this blade can pierce right through the body; impaling the opponent. This place can create slices that are three inches deep, and if if hits where joins are can easily severe limbs or decapitate someone. It is shown to be capable of bisecting steel itself.

Description: To begin the jutsu the user must create a shadow clone. Next using the shadow clone the user will bind the target in the shadow possession jutsu. After the target is captured the clone will then draw a kunai and stab itself in the heart causing it to disperse while the target will take an actual kunai to the heart and die. This jutsu is most effective when the target has an actual weapon or if the user is preoccupied with another target.

Description: The user merely focuses a large amount of chakra through their feet and into their shadow; causing it to explode outward and upward. The chakra takes the shape several of black crystaline structures that rise up four feet from the ground in a 5 meter radius. They appear and disappear in the span in just a few moments; causing pierce and mild crush damage. Because the bursts of chakra rise from below; the majority of damage is focused on the legs and lower body; piercing up to 3 inches into flesh and leaving moderate (> .5 in deep) gashes on grazing strikes. Smaller bones can be broken, but for the most part bone is not damaged: Each spike is roughly an inch wide.
These spikes can either rise from the shadow of the user, or from any shadow that thiers is connected to, making this perfect for countering running opponents or forcing a melee rank opponent to back away.
