The Sharingan copies techniques, but i want to understand can the sharingan
copy hidden technique like the shadow style jutsu?

Because according to "narutowikia website" the sharingan copies hand seals,
and since the nara clan, ino clan e.t.c that uses hand seals in performing
their secret jutsu, why have I never seen a sharingan user copy secret jutsu
when its not a "kekkai genkai"?

Thanks, I hope my question is simple.

Can the Sharingan Copy Hidden Jutsu?


> Sharingan users need the prerequisite abilities before they can mimic a
> jutsu they have... [Wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sharingan)

and

> Many hiden techniques are rooted in Yin–Yang Release, for example is Yin
> Release used in the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique and Yang Release
> in the Akimichi clan's Multi-Size Technique.
> [Wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiden)

So the answer would be yes if the sharingan user has the necessary abilities
to perform the technique.  
It is similar to the reason why the rasengan cannot be copied. The user can
see the chakra and how it moves but unless he can control his own like that he
won't be able perform it.  
The jutsus of the Nara and Yamanaka have hand seals but it is only one and the
majority of the technique is rather manipulation of the chakra.

Although I completely agree with Turamarth's response, I want to point out
some aspects of "why" they can not copy secret/hidden techniques.

A Sharingan user can copy all types of jutsus techniques: ninjutsu, genjutsu
and taijutsu.

The examples are:

  * **Ninjutsu** , we can see it in Kakashi who is an expert.
  * **Gentjutsu** , we can see it in Itachi copying it from Kurenai.
  * **Taijutsu** , the best example of this is Sasuke using the Lee taijutsu.

In other hand, we have the special exceptions that are:

  * **Kekkei Genkai / Tota / Mora:** This can't be copied cause this aren't techniques, this are a genetic abilities. **(1)**

  * **Hidden jutsus:** These techniques also cannot be copied through any means of simple observation, but this techniques can be taught to anyone. A few hidden techniques require a special ability or lineage and as such are usually pride and fame of the clan that possess them. Also, the most of these techniques are based on a Yin-Yang manipulation and this isn't a trivial knowledge. **(2)**

  * **Summoning Jutsus:** These techniques first need to sign a contract with the owner blood for to be able to do it.

  * **Nature Transformations:** They can't mimic a jutsu with a nature transformation that they haven't learned to perform. **(3)**

More explanation:

**(1)** Dust Release techniques these techniques are not genetic, as Onoki
stated that Mu passed the secrets of Dust Release on to him. (Naruto chapter
525)

**(2)** For special abilities or lineage it mean some special characteristic
of some one who use these techniques, like the big size of the people of the
Akimichi clan.

**(3)** Nature transformations are Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Lightning, and
the other derivatives.

* * *

**[A]** So the answer is no, with only the Sharingan they can't copy hidden
jutsus.
