Naruto Mangaka Reveals Classic Anime Inspiration for the Shadow Clone Jutsu

Naruto’s Masashi Kishimoto has confirmed the way one of Yu Yu Hakusho’s early villains inspired the ninja series’ most iconic abilities.According to ScreenRant, Kishimoto drew inspiration from Suzaku, leader of The Four Saint Beasts, when crafting the Shadow Clone Jutsu (i.e., Kage Bushin no Jutsu) — Naruto Uzumaki’s most recognizable move. During the finale of the “Maze Castle” arc of Yu Yu Hakusho, Yusuke Urameshi faces off against the Crimson Sparrow, who creates seven copies of himself in order to attack the Spirit Detective from multiple angles. In Naruto, the titular orange-clad shinobi is notably able to make way more than just seven clones of himself.The information was initially revealed in an interview that appeared in Naruto 10th Anniversary Chronicle Book Mini, and Kishimoto described what he found impressive about Yu Yu Hakusho mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi’s work. “His way of surprising the reader,” he stated. “The way he can create unexpected scenes that can show the threat that the enemies represent, the Kage Bushin no Jutsu of Naruto is strongly inspired by Suzaku’s technique in Yu Yu Hakusho. The idea of having after-images be real was very innovative, I was excited and thought ‘how will they beat this guy.'”RELATED: Two New Naruto Collectibles Showcase the Might of the Leaf Shinobi
