Shadow Doppelganger Technique

After witnessing a shinobi make tangible clones of himself in a battle, Shikai decided to mimic it using his natural element, Darkness. This technique allows Shikai to transform his shadow into multiple clones that are comprised similar to his Shadow Closure Technique. These clones are able to travel incredibly fast while appearing instantly on any surface which touches the same patch of darkness Shikai created them on. After their creation, they are able to cast Shadow Based techniques, including Shikai's own shadow weapon forging.

This technique contains many similarities to the average shadow clone. Those created transmit any spared energy back into Shikai alongside any gained knowledge. Also, instead of disappearing, they are able to constantly reform after each attack. Transforming into a mass of darkness. They also possess access to Shikai's seal. Allowing him to create clones wherever his seal rest. A hidden attack which has claimed over a thousand lives.

Shikai can use his clones to possess the shadows of targets. Allowing him to consciously control their physical movement.

Eliminating the imitation drawback other shadow techniques possess.
