Ephemeral Clone Technique

The Ephemeral Clone Technique is a technique developed by Kana Korimachi and Naomi Senju during the early years and later passed down through various clans. Its often said to be a mix between the Shadow Clone technique and the Dopple Ganger technique and is more effecient than the two as well. This technique, when used, doesn't divide the users chakra, as the user decideds how much chakra to put into the technique beforehand; just enough to get the job done and end the technique.

The user concentrates the desired amount chakra adjacent to their body to make a clone. These clones are more durable than shadow clones, but less durable than dopple gangers. They can take a barraige of blows before disappearing, 2 to 3 times that of a shadow clone, although most nearby explosions can make them disappear in no time.
