This is a technique that incorporates bladed weapons with one's shadow manipulation. By infusing the blades with their own chakra beforehand, they are given the effect of their shadow techniques. By using these weapons to pierce the enemies' shadows, they are paralysed in place. To pierce the shadow, it is necessary to avoid the target just barely; Shikamaru Nara added fake explosive tags when he used them against Kakuzu and Hidan] to help with that. Since it is more difficult for the enemy to notice it, this ninjutsu compensates for the weak point of the similar Shadow Imitation Technique, being its limited effective range. It is unknown for how long this jutsu can keep its targets paralyzed, however it can be disrupted simply by the removal of the blade or by the disappearance of the opponent's shadow.
