The language that our computers speak is thus encoded as binary digits, although we don’t necessarily view them that way. Once the physical implementation is set, everything else is built upon it – including even the world’s most advanced programs. On the flip side, a zero (0) is represented with near 0V or called LOW. In the case of electrical voltage, a one (1) is determined when the voltage is about 5V (volts), or commonly called HIGH. In reality, these bits are implemented using electrical voltage or current pulse. A bit can take only one out of two possible values, a zero (0) or a one (1). Though we are not going to go deep into technical details, the copy-paste mechanism is not a difficult feature to implement in many of our day-to-day computers, hence why most, if not all, computers have this inherent feature we all take for granted.īehind the scene, the information we have on our computers is stored as bits, a fundamental unit which all of our computers rely on. Like the shadow clones, they are very much identical and are hard to distinguish from one another. In the process of copy-pasting, the information is cloned to a particular destination. Recalling the existence of this technique after not watching Naruto for so long reminded me of two things: how useful this is going to be, if ever possible, in real life and a computer’s ability to copy and paste information.
More importantly, shadow clones are great for gathering intelligence, as once their chakra (energy) returns to their original user, the original user will also gain whatever information they have gathered, hence simply transferring what they’ve learned back to the user without having the need to place them in danger. Tobirama Senju using the Shadow Clone Technique. Moreover, because they are visually identical, shadow clones are indistinguishable from their real user. Unlike the ordinary Clone Technique, the Shadow Clone Technique creates physically real copies of its users. With the technique, Naruto essentially creates tons of clones/copies of himself, which can be used as an offense method to raid and overwhelm enemies, or alternatively a form of defense by acting as a decoy of the real Naruto. That said, as a ninja, Naruto has to master some special techniques, one of which is the Shadow Clone Technique. The entire Naruto timeline itself is divided into multiple series, following the development of Naruto. From there on, he met friends, teachers, and life-long mentors who are going to accompany him for the rest of the series. The story really began when Naruto reached the age when he needs to train as a ninja.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Naruto, the series follows a young boy named Naruto Uzumaki who started out as a loner due to his inherent terrible experience as a little baby. Perhaps one of the most eye-catching skills that the main character Naruto used earlier on in the series is Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, or the Shadow Clone Technique.
I’m quite sure a significant number of the audience reading this have watched an episode from the Japanese anime series called Naruto, or is at least familiar with the characters, terms, and jutsu (skills/techniques) involved in the series.
