This jutsu is essentially a large-scale version of the Shadow Clone Technique. Instead of a few clones, this jutsu can create dozens of clones that can span to the hundreds or even thousands. This is considered a forbidden jutsu because it can potentially be dangerous to the person performing it, seeing as the many clones are given an equal amount of chakra directly from the user. Few people are able to use this technique effectively, due to the large amount of chakra it consumes. However, this weakness is not an issue to those with large chakra reserves such as Naruto Uzumaki.

Whereas a small number of clones can be useful in a variety of ways, the huge number of clones created for this technique are almost exclusively used offensively, overwhelming opponents with countless attacks from all around.
