The Shadow Endgame Technique is similar to the Shadow Sewing Technique. However, where Shadow Sewing uses shadow tentacles to tie down and restraint the opponent, Shadow Endgame allows the user to grasp and manipulate objects with the tentacles. This gives the Shadow Endgame Technique a wide variety of uses. There are no hand seals used for this technique, but the hand movements resembles Gaara's Sand Binding Coffin.

While teaching himself to use Asuma's Chakra Enhanced Trench Knives, Shikamaru invented this technique to use against Akatsuki's Hidan and Kakuzu. Using the trench knives ability to absorb the user's chakra, in his case his chakra. With this, Shikamaru can target his opponent's shadow and remotely trap them in the Shadow Imitation Technique. This is extremely advantageous as Shikamaru is no longer restricted to a stationary position while holding down his opponent. This charge is apparently independent of physical contact as he was able to restore it with the Shadow Sewing Technique.

After capturing an opponent with the Shadow Imitation Technique, the user can then further extend their shadow up to the target's throat in the shape of a hand, which chokes them to death. Also if the user is at a last resort, and the shadow possession isn't making them copy their moves, he will bind the opponents body in order to stop all their movements and cause great amount of damage. In addition, the closer the user is to their opponent, the tighter the strangle will become. However, with an incredible amount of strength, the target can force the shadow hand off, first demonstrated in Shikaku's battle and then in Shikamaru's fight with Tayuya, and against the Legendary Stupid Brothers, Fujin and Rajin. Unfortuantely, this technique uses so much chakra that it cannot be used for extended periods of time.
