if it's too dark, then he won't be able to see anything, then he won't know where to send his shadow to...
he needs to attach HIS shadow to other shadows, the other shadows just give him a distance boost...
and the darkness of nighttime is shadow, just from the other side of earth (the one facing the sun).

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I was thinking about the final matches and how there could be a shadow within a shadow. So does this mean that at night shikamaru is unstopable? Since his shadow uses other shadows to increase length, he could possibly cover entire cities at nighttime. The only thing that would stop him would be his stanima and chakra.
Well if the moon was up possibly..... otherwise there would be no shadows jsut darkness.
Yup. But what about the streetlights, I mean they must have some kind of light on the nights candles or lanterns or something
Just a thought if Shikamaru and Naruto fought would Shika be able to stretch and compress say Naruto's clones when he uses Kage Bunshin? Since they are shadow clones....
thats intresting... will he be unstopable, just thinl of the thing u can do with that jutsu i mean if u were strong enough u can prolly bind about atalest half of the village if u wanted to

yeah but then what?
Just couse he can control them dosnt mean his unstopable. The chakra will run out quikly and even if it didnt what can he do more?.. walk?
um this was mentioned somewhere in a distant topic.
Shadow = absence of light?
You don't need a light source for there to be a shadow...it can all be darkness and it would all be considered a shadow
i said WILL HE BE UNSTOPABLE i didnt say that he was and anyways he doesnt neccessarly have to harm anyone, i mean he could just be testing out his poweres or something

they are just called shadow clones they arent real shadows..... they are real bodies its naruto who multiplie. shikamaru can only catch the kage bunshins and control them not stretch them....
i think he meant stretch the shadow. and in that case you can, since it is a shadow.
As jing said, i think that it's required some light not only darkness to make some kind of shadow, dude it's logical though...
To come to a conclusion we have to look at the nature of the Jutsu itself. What does it actually do?
It stretches -HIS- shadow. If it's dark, he has no shadow. He can't shape other shadows than his own. Hence light should be needed.
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
Well do you consider the "absence of light" in that hole shikamaru used to be a shadow or just darkness?
I mean that solves everything! I don't think it's a shadow. I mean you'd have to consider everything a shadow if you did think otherwise.
But it doesn't seem he can use just everything to strech his shadow further. That would be totally supreme techicue. Think that shikamaru would stop a whole enemy village and then the rest would go and kill everyone. Too simple and easy, even a minute would be enough to asassinate the most important persons. But he was able to use the shadow made by the walls of the stadium to his advantage, I wonder what would have happened if it was cloudy. Would all the shadows been gone or would everything be shadow? And that leads to that if it doesn't then the shadow made by clouds is not a shadow after all. If it was then he could own everyone. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..... it would seem that the shadows in the Naruto world don't play on our rules.
Soooo..... no I don't think he can just use everything, but still I think that the "absence of light" in the hole is not a shadow, just my preference.
ino said so herself, that even if there is a small amount of light, then there exists a shadow within a shadow.....
this would suggest to me that at least a small amount of light is necessary for the trick to work.

hmm...well when shika was fighting temari...she was thinking of sending out a clone..and he wouldnt be able to catch it..
She was going to send out a clone for him to waste his jutsu on and then she would waste him with kamaitachi.
It's a good thing he caught her first.
I think that Shikamaru's tech will work as long as there is at least enough light for a discernable shadow.
Basically as long as he's not in absolute darkness (which is pretty damn dark) then his jutsu should be able to work.
Thats what I'm talking about. If Shikamaru uses a flashlight or something, he could use the night to strech his shadow infinitively.

lol, and then he will own Hokage and Kazekage too right? After all they are also Shadows.
ah well, shadow imitation is only deadly if you know how to use it...if you have no strategies like shikamaru...theres no point in having it except for stopping people...i mean like someone say naruto for example had shadow imitation...he wouldnt know what to do..so it wouldnt be real deadly...
