Cloud Clone Technique | Kumo Bunshin no Jutsu

Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 50x Chakra
Effect: Each Cloud Clone has 50 Health and 10% of the user's remaining stats. While in existence, Cloud Clones give their creator +10x Speed and +10x Evasion each. The value of x is equal to the user's Ninja Rank (Genin; 1, Chuunin; 2, etc). Maximum of five (5) clones may be created.
Description: Cloud Clones are a bunshin jutsu common to Kumogakure, and are used to train younger shinobi as they are easily created in the village's natural climate. Kumo Bunshin are composed entirely of water vapor collected from the atmosphere and tend to radiate trace amounts of mist when they move. Like most clones, they are easily destroyed, and burst into a cloudy wisp.

Echo Clone Technique | Kyou Bunshin no Jutsu
Type: Genjutsu [ Clone | Otogakure | Elemental | Sound ]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 30x Chakra
Effect: Each Echo Clone has 30 Health and 10% of the user's remaining stats. While in existence, Echo Clones give their creator +10 Accuracy and +10 Evasion each. Echo Clones are destroyed if they are the target of a non Area of Effect attack, regardless if they are hit.

Maximum of eight (8) clones may be created.
Description: Kyou Bunshin no Jutsu is unique in many ways from other clone techniques in that it can make a large number of clones out of pure sound vibrations. While active on the battlefield, the Echo Clones create small vibrations in the air, making distortions that interfere with the senses of opponents. Unfortunately, the clones are very fragile and can be dispersed extremely easily.

Sand Clone Technique | Suna Bunshin no Jutsu

Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 50 Chakra
Effect: Each Sand Clone has 30 Health and 10% of the user's remaining stats. In their Response Phase, the creator may sacrifice y Sand Clones to reduce the damage of an incoming attack by 30y. This is a free action and may be done after they roll to dodge. Maximum of five (5) clones may be created.
Description: The Sand Clones of Sunagakure were created by Gaara of the Desert during his youth. Unlike most clones, their purpose was not to fight for the user and confuse their opponents, as they appear as sand shaped into the likeness of their creator. Suna Bunshin are made with the defense of their creator in mind and are quick to jump in front of their creator to shield them from damage.

Shadow Clone Technique | Kage Bunshin No Jutsu
Type: Ninjutsu [ Clone | Konohagakure ]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 300 Chakra
Effect: Each Shadow Clone has 50 Health and 60-10x% of the user's remaining stats, where x is the number of clones created. Maximum of five (5) clones may be created. The user chooses the value of x when the technique is used.
Description: The Shadow Clone Technique was created before the founding of the first ninja villages by Senju Tobirama. Before becoming the Second Hokage, he gained a reputation for using his clones on the battlefield with lethal efficiency. The great strength of the Shadow Clone technique is that it divides a user's strength evenly, creating clones that are indistinguishable from their creator, even appearing to have their own working organs. Their strength is also a danger though, as a user who is not careful could easily divide their chakra too greatly, and weaken themselves to the point of illness or even death. Unlike some sturdier clones, Shadow Clones can be destroyed with relative ease, a strong hit transforming them into a harmless puff of smoke.

Type: Ninjutsu [ Clone | Iwagakure | Earth ]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 105x Chakra

Description: In similar fashion with any other clone technique, Iwa Bunshin No Jutsu can make up to several clones made out of soil from the ground around them. The clones take on the appearance of their creator, but when destroyed explode in a burst of compressed soil. The soil latches onto enemy that destroyed them, hindering their movement.

Maximum of five (5) clones may be created.
Description: Using surrounding water from the environment, the user creates a series of clones that take on the appearance of the user with a shimmer of transparency due to the water.
