Description: The user manipulates their shadow across a surface to merge it with a target or targets' shadow. The user can stretch their shadow however they wish in order to accomplish this goal, but they are limited by their shadow's surface area; if a target can move far enough away from the Shadow Imitation's user, they are theoretically safe from it. But there are ways around this: the user's shadow can freely move within other shadows, extending its range. A user must have a shadow to manipulate, and so the Shadow Imitation cannot be used in utter darkness.
Once a user merges their shadow with a target's, the target cannot move on their own other than to talk. The only movements they are able to make are those that the user makes: if the user walks forward, the target walks forward; if the user raises their right hand, the target raises their right hand.
Although most often used against opponents, the Shadow Imitation Technique can be used to save allies, freezing them in physically impossible positions so that they won't trigger booby traps or causing them to cling to sheer surfaces with no means of support. At times, the Shadow Imitation's mimicry is two-way, as if a third-party forces the target to make a move, the user will be forced to make the same move. If a target is strong enough or if the user is weakened enough, targets can resist and even overpower the Shadow Imitation's control.
Effects: Uses the user's shadow to connect to the target's shadow for various purposes such as binding or forcing the target into certain movements or positions. Additional half-rank chakra is required per post for each additional target affected.
Requirements: Ninjutsu D-S, Nara Hiden(Taught by Nara members)

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.
Effects: Turns the user's shadow into multiple shadow needles to pierce and bind multiple targets. Additional half-rank chakra is required per post for each additional target affected.

Name: Shadow–Neck Binding Technique
Rank: C-S
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Resource Cost: Varies by rank
Handsigns: (Dragon, Tiger, Bird), Snake), Boar), Rat)
Duration: Varies by rank

Description: This is a variation of the Shadow Imitation Technique, designed for offensive purposes. The user extends their shadow along a target's body, which, because the shadow has physical properties, the target can feel. There, the shadow can be used for restraint, replacing or adding to the binding of the Shadow Imitation; the closer the user is to their target, the stronger this binding becomes. To conserve chakra, this technique opts to strangle the foe.
The Shadow–Neck Binding's ability to apply pressure to a body gives the user some additional options. If the user falls victim to a genjutsu, they can use their shadow to break their own finger, freeing themselves from the genjutsu's influence or force caught foes to fight each other.
Effects: Uses the user's shadow offensively to bring harm to the target.
Requirements: Ninjutsu C-S, Nara Hiden(Taught by Nara members), Shadow Imitation Technique
