Is that really a limitation on Naruto's control? Or is it purely a limitation of the technique? I haven't seen anyone else use Shadow Clones that could take a hit. The clones themselves seem to have all the control that Naruto himself does.

The problem is that Naruto isn't fast or skilled enough to dodge an attack. So neither are his clones. And while he himself just shrugs off little hits because of his stamina and regeneration, the clones can't.

If Naruto was more skilled at dodging, his clones could live a lot longer.



On another subject, do you guys think Orochimaru was a Snake Sage?
