In the very beggining that one guys tries to steal the shadow clone tutorial scroll by tricking naruto. that's when naruto learns the technique. but throughout the whole of the series virtually everybody knows the technique, or a variation thereof. it was never addressed why the technique stopped being "forbidden". some people say it's "forbidden" because it splits the chakra equally to all clones, i.e. 1/2 + 1/2 or 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3, .... or n*1/n so the original is left with 1/n amount of chakra, thus making it very dangerous to the user, but that's clearly not the reason because then why would that guy go so far as to steal the scroll?
wasn't it the mass shadow clone technique that was forbidden?
Benjamin Torres
It's forbidden for newbs because making more than 20 to 50 depending for the average ninja is a dumb idea.
Joshua Baker
but that guy was a grown ass man and stole a scroll which should've been readily available to him, no?
Xavier Nguyen
One person making shadow clones isn't a big deal. An army is.
Tyler Morris
literally no difference between N clones and N + 1 clones
Owen Fisher
There was more than one jutsu on that forbidden scroll. Stop speed reading
Brayden Nguyen
Naruto should have learned the FTG instead
Wyatt Bailey
This too. Shadow clones was just the easiest naruto learned.
Benjamin Ortiz
yet everybody in the series, from any nation has a variation of the very same jutsu
Wyatt Moore
People could die if they did too much clones, because one's chakra would be splitten. Nardo was a hack since birth with muh uzumaki blood so he could use the technique without risks
Camden Martin
no user naruto uses REAL clones
Ayden Powell
oh ok, actually wasn't aware of that. fair enough.
so the other thing, why is it forbidden?
Adam Cruz
The forbidden technique is the mass shadow clone jutsu, the variation of it that makes like 1000 copies. The normal version is just a normal move.
Parker White
shadow clones vs other clones were sentient while others were basic
Logan Perry
real as in get pooffed from 1 hit? because that's the only type of clones in the series. i've never seen a clone take more than 1 hit
Liam Lee
>the FTG the what?
Daniel Hall
then don't make a gorillion clones, how about that? make 1
Joseph Adams
Did you forget the regular clone jutsu that's just an illusion that Naruto could never master?
Andrew Gomez
i did not forget but every clone since shippuden has been a solid or a substitution jutsu
Adam Davis
Flying Thunder God
Carson Jones
i thought the shadow clones from that scroll were way stronger than normal clones even without the splinting the user chakra among them. a normal clone takes one hit and is gone narutos clone can take a lot more punishment before going poof?
Eli Moore
Jutsu should have stayed simple with clever utilization being the focus of fights. Sasuke throwing shuriken Naruto was sick. Naruto’s 15th new rasengan was not.
Leo Price
aka discount instant transmission
Carson Powell
It's forbidden because it can kill the user if you don't have a deep chakra pool. The other clone jutsu need an element around to use. ie you can't use an Earth Clone if there is no earth around like on a boat or in a building, and you can't use a water clone unless there is water around. A shadow clone can be used anywhere. I don't know if the other clone jutsu will retain exp like the shadow clone does. The scroll itself was most likely worth more money than the jutsu, because it was written by Tobirama. There are collectors in the world who pay high prices on the black market for unique things like that.
Samuel Lee
so you argue their intelligence is better? interesting, but has it been confirmed?
Charles Baker
that's what i thought too but every (shadow)clone we've ever seen since has been 1 hit pooffed
Jaxon Sanders
i agree
Nathan Cook
im pretty sure i've see water clones being used on land or some shit like that
This is the forbidden technique Naruto learned from the scroll. It's not just making Shadow Clones, although he learned that by extension, but this specific move that instantly spawns a whole lot of them. It's forbidden because it can just outright kill anyone who doesn't have Naruto levels of charka.
Owen Thompson
Daily reminder that he got harder punishment than orochimaru did
Aaron Rivera
Wouldn’t be getting his ass kicked by Jigen if he could teleport
Thomas Hughes
alright, it seem everything is fairly consistent. i guess it could have been conveyed in a better way but whatever.
Michael Roberts
They can work together to perform rasengan and report back to eachother
Carter Long
>just don't do something that could kill you!!!!! Wow, have you just solved every human problem since the conception of society????
Josiah Nelson
This is why its forbidden but they were a lot more than simple substitution or drone clones.
Ryder Roberts
PEOPLE LITERALLY SEND OUT SQUADS TO MURDER YOU IF YOU ABANDON YOUR VILLAGE, YET SOMEHOW OROCHIMARU IS FREE AFTER MURDERING COUNTLESS PEOPLE, MAKING 100 PEOPLE FIGHT TO THE DEATH BATTLE ROYALE STYLE, AND LITERALLY ASSASINATING THE PRESIDENT OF KONOHA.
>HURR JUST KEEP AN EYE ON HIM GUYZ NO NEED TO IMPRISON HIM OR KILL HIM. LET HIM LITERALLY CONTINUE HIS HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION PROGRAMS AND ALLOW HIS OBLIVIOUS SUBJECTS TO ATTEND KONOHA SCHOOLS
YEP MAKES TOTAL SENSE.
NARUTO IS THE WORST HOKAGE IN THE HISTORY OF HOKAGES, EVER.
Camden Campbell
If it wasn't for Orochimaru, the previous Hokage would still be alive.
It is thanks to Orochimaru that Naruto is Hokage.
It was all a conspiracy.
>Orochimaru helped Naruto achieve Hokage title >Naruto helped Orochimaru by forgiving his crimes honestly? pretty based.
Lincoln Brooks
It is safe to assume it's bad writing.
Landon Ramirez
it's badly conveyed, i guess, but it checks out.
Jonathan Bailey
Stop being retarded. Nardo could easily btfo of Orochimaru and Sasuke-kun himself and still have energy top bang Hinata in the end of the day, he just keep those niggas around so they can do the dirty part for him while he stays in Konoha. Even Orochimaru admits this when talking to Sasuke-kun in the Boruto anime
William Walker
Pretty sure there was stuff in there about the naruto's seal
Isaac Morris
They're either summoned out of water though, or a water jutsu is used to create water.
Austin Sullivan
He was a fucking fodder who got beat up by a failure of an academy nin
Pretty sure only Jounin are allowed to learn Mass Shadow clone but they are ninjas after all getting information getting that info can't be hard must be like rouge Jounin might pass it down to underlings
Angel Stewart
Sane reason Jap and German scientists were given a free pass after murdering and experimenting on POW in exchange for their knowledge and service
Aaron Hughes
It's forbidden because it's OP as fuck for spying. They can't let other nations get a hold of that technique or it would be used against them. Other clone techniques don't have the information transferring property.
Gabriel Parker
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my batch in the Chuunin Exams, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the Akatsuki, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in stealth warfare and I’m the top Kekkei Genkai user in the Hidden Leaf. You are nothing to me but just another genin. I will wipe you the fuck out with ninjutsu the likes of which has never been seen before in the Ninja World, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over ninja scrolls? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of ANBU agents across the Fire Country and your chakra is being traced right now so you better prepare for the Raikiri, maggot. The storm jutsu that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your Ninja Way. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you with over one thousand techniques, and that’s without use of Sharingan. Not only am I extensively trained in taijutsu, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Seventh Hokage and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the Ninja World, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit Fire Release all over you and you will burn in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Evan Sanchez
Wasn't it also a chakra issue with that jutsu where the average ninja either didn't have enough chakra or had a hard time dividing it among the amount of clones they wanted to make?
Charles Thomas
See
Dylan Diaz
Naruto sucks.
Brody Smith
Real as in they can think for themselves, act accordingly and when they dissapear you gain their experiences
Leo Wilson
I don't think anyone in the series besides Naruto was shown to be able to do the mass version of it. The closest anyone came was that one time Kakashi did it with non-solid clones.
Christopher King
easiest to learned in the most time he had and it was the only one he was trying to learn since he was told learning it would be how he passes
Eli Evans
so then there's a regular shadow clone jutsu?
Jayden Miller
People keep forgetting Orochimaru was immortal. If they killed him, he'd respawn elsewhere later. Better to keep an eye on him.
Gabriel Miller
sealing jutsus exist
Joseph Murphy
Should have posted this in .
Michael Sullivan
Itachi sealed him and he popped up again.
Evan Moore
My big plot concern stemming from the first issue, right out the gate, is that it was fucking stupid.
Brayden Cooper
Well, I think initially the Shadow Clone jutsu was something that only Jonin knew how to do. The clones everyone else used were illusions, not actual doppelgängers.
At some point that got retconned, though, since Naruto was attempting to make shadow clones in his childhood in The Last. With the retcon, I'm pretty sure the scroll was forbidden because it taught how to produce a massive number of shadow clones (multi-shadow clone jutsu), which is dangerous for shinobi without huge chakra reserves.
Logan Stewart
there is but it's still draining on even trained Jounin
Alexander Russell
Yes. Lots of top-tier ninja like Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Madara have casually used the technique at least once. Unlike Naruto, they usually use it only when they absolutely have to, like when they need a decoy or are fighting multiple opponents at once. Unlike the multiple version, they can't just pop out a swarm of them and overwhelm the enemy.
He clearly says "bunshin no jutsu" in the last. whats forbidden is the "tajuu kage bunshin" as people will low levels of chakra die immediately.
Adam Bell
Even Itachi use the shadow clone technique in his novels,Kakashi does too. Nobody use the "mass shadow clone technique" it's the forbidden one. Why do people still confuse this.
Jaxson Kelly
Naruto is so powerful that he could probably sense Orochimaru's chakra from across the country, zip over to him at light speed, then kill him by literally ripping his chakra out of his body before he can react. Orochimaru knows damn well that he gets to walk free because Naruto thinks his value as an asset to the village outweighs the energy it would take to kill him. So you better believe he's going to play nice and do what Naruto tells him.
Angel Sanders
Probably had the impure world jutsu to revive people and the previous Hokages signature techniques as well as a ton of suicide techniques which made it forbidden to learn from, most of that's head canon but the impure world jutsu is in there and that's enough of a reason.
Blake Thompson
>The Scroll of Seals (封印の書, Fūin no Sho) is a scroll containing many techniques, such as the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style.[1] Because of the dangerous techniques it contains, the scroll was sealed away by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
There's probably a lot of other BS jutsus in there besides the two as well.
Even stuff like the 8 trigrams seals can be used to turn the tailed beasts into humanoid weapons (and vice versa). There's probably some other dangerous crap in there as well.
Nicholas Jackson
Yeah,it was the Multiple shadow clone jutsu,regular clone jutsu and shadow clone jutsu were not forbidden.
