**[Definition](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Clone_Technique)** :
Similar to the basic Clone Technique, Shadow clone technique creates copies of
the user. However, these clones are corporeal instead of illusions.

According to me when Naruto uses Shadow clone technique then his whole dress
also get cloned to other user, so there might be possibility that item inside
bag might get cloned too. And it can also be proved as he uses All direction
shuriken technique where "Naruto and his shadow clones throw shuriken all at
once." - [Source](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/All_Directions_Shuriken)

So the quesion is: How non-living object get multiplied because according to
wiki definition about Shadow clone technique : "The user's chakra is evenly
distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the
user's overall power." but non-living object has no chakra so how come ?

If it is possible to use it which is true, then let us say that those cloned
user threw kunai on the target then for sure it will get hit on that target.
But if that cloned user (which uses that kunai) got vanish then :

Will that kunai too vanishes at that same time or it will be there as it is?

question
naruto
Why shadow clone technique make a clone of what they are holding?


**Short answer** : If you enjoyed it, don't question the logic.

**Longer explanation**  
This is an example of [Artistic
License](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtisticLicense), which
means the author is allowed to ignore logic if it makes the story more
enjoyable. The trope of a character's ability extending to their equipment is
known as [My Suit Is Also
Super](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MySuitIsAlsoSuper) on
tvtropes.1

Cloning techniques in Naruto require this trope due to how it is usually used:
to confuse, distract and deceive the opponent. Cloning based techniques would
be useless if the opponent could tell the original apart from the clones by
simply looking at who has a shuriken in hand!2

Artistic License requires [Willing Suspension of
Disbelief](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief)
from the audience. This is acceptable to the audience since they want the
story to entertain, and do not necessarily want it to be logically accurate.
The author should maintain a balance between the Artistic License and the
Willing Suspension of Disbelief that the audience is willing to give.

If he uses too much Artistic License, the audience cannot take him seriously
anymore. For example, if Naruto had awakened Mangekyou Sharingan, and it was
explained with "an Uzumaki can awaken Mangekyou Sharingan by repeatedly using
Shadow Clones and Rasengan", then the audience will lose interest in the
story.

It he uses too little of it, an opportunity to make the story more
entertaining is lost. The author would have had to exclude a lot of techniques
and events from the story, which would make it too boring.

1 The trope of cloning techniques extending to the user's clothes is [Magic
Pants](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicPants) is used mainly
for censorship reasons, as otherwise the clones would end up naked. It is too
much trouble for the author to keep dealing with all the time. Given how often
the cloning techniques are used in the story, it would also get annoying for
the audience after a while.

2 Interestingly, in a much later battle, Kishimoto plays with this trope
differently. Naruto makes one of his clones carry a certain thing which fools
his opponent into thinking that clone is the original. See the below spoiler
for details.

> During the battle against Kaguya Otsutsuki, Naruto deliberately places the
> Gudodama behind the back of one of his clones, which tricks Black Zetsu into
> thinking that clone is the original.
