Nara Question

[Shinryu]

Would a Nara be able to perform Fuinjutsu while using their Kagemane technique? Or are they limited solely to Nara jutsu and physical movements?

[Trigga]

No clan is limited to their respective techniques unless explicitly stated. For example; Shikigami are restricted from having an elemental releases, as such can't have elemental jutsu.

[Shinryu]

I meant can they use Fuinjutsu while the Kagemane technique is active.

[KEITH]

I think they would still mimic you, but, has Kagemane been shown to allow the target to do Ninjutsu or anything? If not, then, I guess they would mimic the handseals, but, you would still be able to perform the jutsu. And, even if they could use chakra when you do, they'd have to just have the jutsu aswell. But, I think you can use Fuuinjutsu with Kagemane. That's a powerful combo.

[Shinryu]

I'm just wondering whether or not using Fuinjutsu while Kagemane is active would cancel Kagemane or not. That's the root of my question.

I think that it could be up for discussion within the staff whether or not people would be able to perform any other jutsu while something like this is in place. It has been shown (irregularly) throughout the series Shikamaru having to hold a unique handseal for the duration of the technique in order for it to work (and possible variants), something which is very similar to that of the Yamanaka's Shintenshin no Jutsu. These handseals are not common, but unique to the hijutsu. So, perhaps, something could be worked into the system where an 'x' amount of mastery's has to be attained within that style before a member doesn't have to hold the seal to perform the jutsu, showing that with the natural progression and experience one gains the easier the jutsu can be performed? Just a though.

Simple answer is simple. Unless the technique specifically states it doesn't require chakra to be pumped to it over time, you cannot perform two techniques at once. Kagemane no Jutsu requires chakra to sustain it, pouring chakra into another technique (unless a Kagemane variant) will force you to end the chakra supply to that technique and move it toward the new technique. The 'X-Cast' mastery is the sole reason why multiple jutsu cannot be regularly performed at once.
