Shadow Imitation (D)

Kage Mane (Shadow Imitation)
Rank: D / C / B / A
Requires: Nara Clan
Description: Kage Mane no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu developed by the Nara clan. It's original purpose was as a skill to help delay any pursuers. After forming the needed hand seals, the clan member is able to manipulate their shadow along any surface. By using other nearby shadows they can further extend the reach of their shadow, however they are limited to the surface area of the original cast shadow. Once the clan members shadow reaches the target shadow, it will attach itself. While attached the target will be frozen, only able to replicate in mirror form the actions of the clan member. If the clan member is low on chakra, the Kage Mane will falter and the shadow will return to its normal form.
Special: The time a Nara clan member can bind someone with Kage Mane lengthens with a higher rank of the technique, and is halved against an opponent with a higher rank than the user.

Kage Mane Shuriken (Shadow Imitation Shuriken)
Rank: C
Requires: Nara Clan
Description: Kage Mane Shuriken no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu developed by the Nara clan. Using kunai or similar weapons, one can imbue chakra to stick "pins" in others shadows. These knives absorb the chakra nature of the user and give off the nature's effect. In this case, the knives take on the Nara clan's shadow binding properties. By implanting the shadow chakra enhanced blade into the shadow of his target, they will be frozen in place; just as if they were caught in one of the clan members extended shadow bindings.

Kage Nui (Shadow Sewing)
Rank: B
Requires: Nara Clan
Description: Kage Nui is a Ninjutsu developed by the Nara clan. To perform the technique, the user will first form the needed handseal to extend his shadow. He/she will then change the handseal to cause the shadow to emerge from the ground in tendrils. The tendrils can extend and whip about and are strong enough to pierce nearby targets.

Kage Yose (Shadow Gathering)
Rank: B
Requires: Nara Clan
Description: Kage Yose no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu developed by the Nara clan. This technique uses the Kage Nui threads to extend from the body. They can be used much like Kage Nui, to grab objects and launch them at a target, or to pull an object towards a Kage Mane-bound target.

Kage Kubi Shibari (Shadow Neck Bind)
Rank: A
Requires: Nara Clan
Description: Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu developed by the Nara clan. To perform the technique the clan member will first bind their target using the Kage Mane no Jutsu technique. Once the target can no longer move, they form the needed hand seal to initiate this technique. The clan member uses their shadow to form a hand which will creep up their opponents body to their neck. Once the hand reaches the neck, it will constrict in such a manner so as to strangle the opponent. However, the clan member will need to be careful. If their target has a lot of chakra, they can turn back the shadow hand and prevent it from binding their neck.
