He mastered it about the time it said in the anime that Kakshi knows all of Konoha's Jutsus. 1 night of focusing only on shadow replication(it is just an upper level of a technique that they showed you in the academy) and he learned how to do it, I don't see what is so impossible about it, he still sucks at it but he can do it...Originally posted by: BOARD_of_command
Oh well, 1 night. But still, that's a really short time to master a Jounin level technique.
I seriously doubt it personally but we won't know until later I suppose.some ppl say this jutsu is nothing necessary in fights.....................like just to teach naruto control his chakra and only can spin the enemy a little
