Raven Clone Techinque

A technique that produces clones by projecting one's own chakra into illusionary "ravens". It is very similar to the "Crow Clone Technique" but only projects the users chakra towards imaginary ravens. Because of this, it requries even less chakra than the Crow Clone Technique, but is much less useful at attack than the more substantial Crow Clone Technique. While still being able to perform techniques, their effect becomes lightly lessened by the burden of maintaining multiple illusionary "ravens". The dozens of ravens can come together to form a clone, or serve as a means of escape from an attack in the form of a substitution jutsu.

This technique is derived from Itachi's Crow Clone Technique, but was modified to suit Ikuto's more efficient needs and style. The result was a simpler jutsu to form and maintain, but one that had substantially less variety in it's effect.
