In Episode 452 of Naruto Shippuden,

Itachi used his shadow clone which was in Academy and he was himself training
in forest. Since he is already very young then how come he was able to use
Shadow clone. According to the teacher of Academy he was so talented that they
graduated him but still how we was able to use it.

According to Fugaku Uchiha (His father), he has never used Shadow clone and
also as per wiki Jutsu section its only states that he used only Fire release
Jutsu.

Since his Father was the only one who teach him various Jutsu then how he
learned Shadow Clone? Is it his Father who teach him or Itachi alone was able
to learn by himself?

How Itachi was able to use Shadow clone?


It was never confimed in the cannon of Naruto-verse. However it can be
inferred that such a technique can be self taught.

_Naruto did it._

With a shinobi as good as Itachi, who mastered the art of Sharingan at the age
of 8, and having joining Anbu at the age of 11 [Itachi
wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Itachi_Uchiha), it shouldn't be hard to
self-teach the **B-ranked** Shadow-clone jutsu.

Shadow clone Jutsu not imposing any blood-line limits (kekkei genkei)- and
Itachi being a prodigy above all others- he could have copied the jutsu with
his activated sharingan.
