Mangekyo Clone

Jutsu Name: Mangekyo Clone

Jutsu Type: A-Rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short Range

Jutsu Users: Yasei Inuzuka, Utakata, Odayaka Arashi

This advanced version of the Shadow Clone technique was invented by Yasei Inuzuka. It is called Mangekyo not because it is a dojutsu, but because it is supposedly as far above the Shadow Clone jutsu as the Mangekyo Sharingan is above the regular Sharingan, and because "kaleidoscope" fits the jutsu perfectly. The technique, when used in defense, causes clones, attached to the user's body, to appear on the user's left and right, and behind them, shielding them from an attack from all sides. The offensive version causes three clones to appear surrounding the opponent, so that the effect of the attack is multiplied.
