Kage Mane no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. It's original purpose was as a skill to help delay any pursuers. After forming the needed hand seals, the clan member is able to manipulate their shadow along any surface. By using other nearby shadows they can further extend the reach of their shadow, however they are limited to the surface area of the original cast shadow. Once the clan members shadow reaches the target shadow, it will attach itself. While attached the target will be frozen, only able to replicate in mirror form the actions of the clan member. If the clan member is low on chakra, the Kage Mane will falter and the shadow will return to its normal form.
Note: This technique is exclusive to the Nara clan. The duration of Kage Mane depends on the Ninja's rank. At genin, the duration is 1 full turn. At chuunin, the duration is 2 full turns. At jounin, the duration is three full turns. Keep in mind that a full turn constitutes the end of the caster's next turn.
