"Shadow clones are different from regular clones in that they have a solid form correct? I don't know much other than that. It's a protected jutsu after all is said and done." He wasn't hateful of the training, he was disinterested in learning something else that might bring more attention to himself. Then she ate a bug off the ground. Most would be taken aback by that, Shinra just looked at her without much of a difference in his posture or attitude.

Taking the parchment, or at least leaning over to look at it, the mature-for-his-age genin wanted to see what he was getting in to. The formulas for chakra consumption and the details of the jutsu were what he was interested in. It was unlike normal jutsus in that it split chakra evenly between clone and user. Whereas other solid clone techniques split it up a tenth between the user and the clone. It could make for a stronger clone, but if it was dispersed it was all that more chakra lost.

Pondering the ramifications of it, the analytic mind of the toolsmith went into overdrive, mumbling to himself. "If one were to create one clone it would be fifty-fifty. Three clones would be Fifty-and two twenty-fives? Or would it be Three sets of thirty-three.  The same applies for the concept of four clones or more.  One could imagine how weak one hundred shadow clones would be.  It stands to reason why this is a sealed away jutsu. But it could prove more than useful to team up with my golem and the rest of team Instinct." He mumbled into the curled index finger in front of his mouth while his thumb curved under his chin, in his standard pondering stance.
