Wind Release: Wind Clone Trap

Chakra is condensed and spun rapidly, woven into a loose ball. This chakra is thrust to the side and released as Heishiro makes the Monkey hand sign, forming a Wind Clone that bears the same chakra signature and holds chakra reserves of its own. In the instant the clone is formed a gust of wind whips up, obscuring the view of the opponent for an instant. Heishiro masks his chakra and suppresses it as he disappears from view, and only the clone remains in view with the intention of making the opponent believe the jutsu failed. When the clone is attacked it will either release instantly, blades of wind slicing through the immediate area around it, or it will form a vortex to restrict the opponent’s movement. The size of the vortex created and the damage the wind does is dependent on the amount of chakra given to the clone during its formation. Multiple clones may be created in the same instant but doing so rapidly drains the user’s chakra, making it safe to only form up to three at a time.
