When performing Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, the user creates one or more clones of themselves. While normal clones cannot affect entities, Clone Shadows can completely affect other objects and people. Each clone is linked together by very small chakra fibers and their endurance depends on the caster.
As it turns out, author Masashi Kishimoto created the famous ninjutsu associated with Naruto’s name thanks to being inspired by Suzaku, the leader of the Four Great Demonic Beasts.

This inspiration comes from the story “The Labyrinth Castle” in Yu Yu Hakusho (Vietnamese name Journey to the Underworld). Yusuke Urameshi then confronts the Crimson Sparrow, who has created seven clones of himself to attack the Spirit Detective from multiple sides.

“The way he is able to create unexpected scenes can show the threat that the enemy poses. Naruto’s Kage Bushin no Jutsu is heavily inspired by Suzaku’s technique in Yu Yu Hakusho. The idea of turning the images into reality was so creative, I was so excited and thought ‘How are they going to beat this guy?'”, Masashi Kishimoto said.
