Ino-Shika-Chō
いのシカ蝶
Tri-clan formation passed down through generations among the Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi clans of Konoha. They combine mental illusion, shadow capture and body expansion into a lethal team tactic.
The Ino-Shika-Chō formation involves: Yamanaka (Ino) mentally paralysing the target; Nara (Shikamaru) immobilising it with shadows; Akimichi (Chōji) delivering the amplified finishing blow. This synergy was also carried out by the generation of Inoichi, Shikaku and Chōza during earlier wars.
