This technique is used to create a shadow clone that can be detonated. The clone looks like a normal shadow clone, which allows the user to get it close to the target without them expecting anything besides a normal attack, or the target might even close in willingly to try to attack the clone. Using multiple tricks and diversionary tactics to disguise the nature of the clone can make this technique more likely to be effective.
Hikaru is able to use this skill through his Lava Clone Technique, creating a more dangerous exploding clone which releases the lava stored within it once detonated.
Heiwa Uchiha can apply this technique on his Yin Clone. When it detonates, its deadly ability affects anyone caught in the explosion, erasing them from existence in an instant.
