"Well I don’t think there is a shadow octopus jutsu as far as I know. So who knows maybe you’ll be the one to make it instead after you start experimenting with technique creation.”As he said that Satoshi would wink amusedly at her. It was just part jest but also carrying some semblance of truth. After all it was fully possible that Shun could end up making it or whatever she desired down the line. Sure there were sort of rules to follow but in most cases a person’s imagination was the limit when it came to creating techniques.
Seeing as she was concentrating the older nara decided to throw in a bit more distractions by also actually responding to the latter part of her statement.
"I do want to say it’s true that all are a little lazy but you know I have actually met a crazy clansman that probably didn’t have a lazy bone in his body. Every morning at four he would rise and go running as a warm up before training. I have no idea how he kept up but without fail even if he had just return barely an hour before he would still get up and go running.”There would be a really low mutter of
"Crazy bastard that one was.” before returning some of his attention on commanding his shadow. It seemed the complexity of his demands was starting to kick in to some degree for her as more slips in output from her chakra were becoming visible to his sense. Interestingly enough he noticed some did flow into her own shadow, probably subconsciously and it was sort of bleeding in.
That did make Satoshi wonder if this was something common that happened when kids from the clan were practicing or learning how to use the jutsu. From what he knew about the technique what was happening was the beginning stages when chakra first began to enter the shadow. In a way this was a problem with the type of training she was currently doing but since the older nara hadn’t used it before it was a learning experience for him as well.
He could call it to attention but it wasn’t actually visible per se and in a way it actually suited Satoshi more to not mention it right now. A faster drain of her chakra could be helpful in the current situation so he would probably share this with her after they were done for the day.
Instead he would enjoy the moment of amusement as Shun tried to keep up with everything he was throwing at her. Actually asking theory questions on top of everything else was a good call as it was both further multitask training but also a bit funny to see. Satoshi was also seeing another aspect of being a teacher and that was amusing yourself on the distress of your students.
On to the point though overall her reasoning wasn’t bad and the answer was workable. There were some things missing and her not having any field experience showed a bit but that was to be expected. Still he made sure to nod his head in agreement as she spoke before finally answering as she posed a question.
"Well actually some fire nature jutsu do cast a shadow but in most cases it’s really unreliable and not readily usable. Intensity of the flames also plays part if there would actually be one but back to the question itself you are correct to assume it’s better to dodge it in most cases. If you are sure your shadow will connect it is still better to move out of the way of the fireball first you know why?”The pause was strategically placed in order to catch her attention and also for Satoshi to take a short breath before launching further into lecture mode.
"You see even if your shadow moves to connect first you have to factor in the light the fireball itself is making since it would actually push the shadow of your opponent to stretched further back. That would mean that your shadow might need to move as close as a few inches or less from an opponent’s feet and that is a precious time in which they might have moved further away or reacted in some way that make the connection impossible.” "That’s why it might be better to dodge away first. Expanding on that it’s because you can take in consideration the light that emits from the fireball. If you don’t move away too far and position yourself well enough so it’s behind your back, you will suddenly find your shadow stretching to the front due to the light of the flames. Suddenly you are at the same time both evading the attack and the distance between your shadow and that of the opponent is shorter, allowing you greater wiggle room for a brief moment.”Idly the chuunin noted that it had been quite a while since he had to talk this much though hopefully the information he was trying to relay was clear enough for Shun to follow and hopefully get her own gears spinning as she considered and processed what he was sharing with her. Still there was a bit more left to be said so Satoshi continued.
"Of course that is mostly relevant for this situation I suggested and while you should consider it don’t take it as the all be thing that should be done in all cases. It should help you at least get thinking more on how to apply different light sources though and why they could be important for you when in a fight."
"Now as for training I see you’re having some issues with keeping up so for the next part I want you to pull back the shadow together and pool it around as it was at the start. From there you are going to try the splitting part again but this time every strand should be as narrow as a senbon also not just seven but as many as you could like many lines of ants.”Before she could try it though Satoshi would quickly add in.
"I'm also going to throw in another theoretical scenario for you to mull over and answer as you do that thought. You are facing an opponent that can control iron sand and they are flying above on a platform made out of the iron sand in a clearing while you are standing at the edge of it with a forest behind you. They can freely attack you with orbs that they control.""You know the Shadow Imitation Technique, the Shadow Neck Bind Technique, a fireball jutsu and possess kunai, a few exploding notes and shuriken. What will you do, will you try somehow to force them out of the platform they made, lure them into the forest or something else? Let’s see what you can think of.”With that his long-winded lecture over for now Satoshi would focus his attention back to Shun to see if she had managed to follow along and also prepare himself to control the shadow for when she tried to do what he had asked of her.
SA:
Kagura Shingan [Kagura Mind's Eye]
After exploring his innate sensory abilities and thanks to his perfect chakra control Satoshi was able to unlock the Kagura Shingan. This ability allows him to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers. His able to achieve this effect by focusing and opening his mind's eye, though due to the low chakra cost Satoshi is able to keep it active passively at all times (Range is 15km) and increase the range even more with the use of the jutsu(25km). The ability also extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including him, is under a genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular chakra, Satoshi can perceive its location and movement with great detail allowing him to track the movements of even those that are faster than him.
