Name: Shadow Merge
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element:N/A
Description: Shikachi has to form a single handseal then can melt into his shadow. He can move at very fast speeds in this condition. He cannot attack or be attacked and is immune to Genjutsu in this condition. He also does not need to breathe or anything that he has to do while he isn't in this form. This jutsu is good for escaping or sneaking up on an opponent. This jutsu can last 2 posts, then Shikachi has to rest for 4 posts because of the amount of chakra it takes, also in 2 of thn, he cannot use extra chakra.This is mostly used for escaping a strong technique and doesn't last long.

The day was looking good, and the sky was as blue as the ocean itself. There were few clouds in the sky but just enough to cast a good amount of shadows. Wandering into the training grounds, and getting ready to learn the new jutsu that he had thought of were making him want to train more. Shikachi had his sword on his back, and his kunai on his side. "Lets get started." He said to himelf in a low tone. He had tried learning these three jutsu before but they were always too difficult. Maybe now he would be able to master them. Shikachi wanted to learn the Shadow Counter Clone technique first, but had no one to practice it on. So he decided to try it on a simple dummy. He walked up to the dummy, looking at its features and memorizing them. Jumping back 10 ft, and making the handsigns in the air, his shadow connected with that of the dummies right when he hit the floor. Good first part successful, now all Shikachi had to do was focus his chakra on the physical parts of the dummy and send it through the shadow. Okay... Now he thought to himself as he instantly forced his chakra through his shadow. Within 2 seconds, there were 3 dummies next to the original. Two on the right of it, and one on the left. They were all identical and were made of the same material as the original dummy. The clones were tangible and the jutsu was a success. Shikachi didn't want to stop here, he tried again and it worked the same. He was happy that he had learned the jutsu and was ready to learn the next one.

After being done with the Shadow Counter Clone jutsu with in ten minutes he was finished and onto the next jutsu. The Shadow Doppleganger was the next jutsu on Shikachi's list of jutsu that he was gonna learn today. He knew that this jutsu would not be that hard to learn because it was basically the Original basic clone jutsu but with slightly more chakra. So all i have to do is put a little more chakra into it ehh? He thought that it seemed simple enough now all he had to do was try it out. He formed a string of handseals then let his chakra flow through his body copying features, memory and all.

A poof of smoke apperared next to him. Whoa! he thought to himself not expecting it to work. When the smoke cleared, the figure clearly looked like Shikachi. A clone in itself. "Hey" the clone said, that really scared Shikachi because he wasn't expecting it to talk. Shikachi was intrigued by the clone and happy it worked. He touched it and felt that he had skin and so on. It amazed Shikachi. Shikachi told the clone to cut a small fair sized tree down with it's sword. In an instant the clone listened to Shikachi and cut the tree down into 5 pieces with ease. That made Shikachi smile. Poof was the sound Shikachi heard as he let the clone disappear. "Yes" he thought to himself with a grin that could light up the park at night. He felt accomplished and now it was time for the next and final jutsu.

Shikachi was ready for the final jutsu to learn for the day and probably for a while. He knew that if he would learn this jutsu that he would be happy, and also would be tired. Well once it's done, it's done. he thought to himself as if he could mentally convince himself to continue training. Shikachi was sure that he had this jutsu in the bag, he was already successful for the first 2 and knew he had this one too. He was nervouse and scared because he kept having thoughts of him getting stuck halfway into his shadow and not being able to get out, or that he wasn't going to be able to learn the jutsu period but he had to try.

He began by moving to a place where he had a good amount of light so that his shadow was plainly visible. He performed 6 handseals in a string, then focused his chakra into his shadow and out of his body. Slowly but steadily he began melting or better yet merging into his shadow. Once he was completely merged he could still see everything that he could see normally. He didn't even have to breathe which made him happy knowing that this was an advantage. He then moved around trying to test the feeling of the jutsu. It felt untouchable as if it was stronger then he expected. He also noticed that he could move up to 3 times as fast as he normally could in this form. He checked how long it took him to get from the training grounds to his house in this form, it took approximately one minute and fifteen seconds, which was amazing. He went into his house not even worrying about dinner and just went to sleep.
