Is it possible with what used to be the Phys Ad (yeah, I'm refering to SR2, I'm old, Sue me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) ) to recreate some Naruto-ish characters?

Not very well,
depends on if its one person specifically or just generally. They would appear to range from physical adepts to mystical adepts depending on personal abilities. You might be able to match up some similar aspects but the overall would be tricky to do. |

Depends.
Most stuff should probably work. Obviously not the summoning big frog for the purely physical adept. water walk for magic meters and running up walls for magic meters and the such is easy though . . |

and what about the different Jutsus... like the Shadow Clones, the one where, to avoid a hit, they place an object in their place... oh yeah, Substitution Jutsu, stuff like that?

No, i don't think that works.
Well, one COULD argue tricks with sleight of hand . . palming . . and sneaking/stealthing skill . . But probably not . . |

Just make it a special effect of the Combat Sense power. They thought you were there, but you actually weren't, because you saw it coming; that's what Combat Sense does, really.

No it doesnt It basically gives you a better awareness of the situation so you do those last second dodges. Its spidey senses not a illusion spell |

This whilst key in the show is going to be damm near impossible to pull of in the shadowrun magic system, its too close to teleportation or creating matter. You can get away with some of it with illusion spells but your goign to be cutting it very fine with GM approval on the actual effects and your going to have to go mystic adept to do it. |

Create Food < = Spell as base.
Create $rand; = Spell as desired. There is a precedent for it at least. |

Well... I guess I'll just go the right way with that...
Get stocked on SR4 books (coz I only have SR3) play a good while... think about it again when I'm familiar with the SR4 rules |

Alternatively:
go the shadowrun route. brainwash GM to like naruto(nearly impossible) and bribe him to allow it. |

Or a Combo Spell (Customized)...
You go Invisible (Physical or otherwise, Illusion Class) and leave an Image behind (Physical or otherwise, Illusion Class) that acts in your place. Drain will be a little higher, but that is the price you pay for customized spells that take the place of 2 spells. |

Haven't thought of Naruto yet.
But the Shape [Material] spell reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist. |

Preliminary thoughts -
Most of the characters in Naruto would be Mystic adepts rather than psyads, a lot of their powers can only be duplicated by spells. The exception would be Rock Lee, who would be an unarmed specialist. Opening his chakras would be simulated by the Attribute Boost power. Maybe add some reflex recorders. All of them would have varying levels of Killing hands, Combat sense, Critical strike, Wall Running. All summoning would be conjuration. Naruto would have Rapid Healing, his Rasenshuriken would be a form of Distance Strike if not an outright Blast spell. Spirit possession & Channeling would be him using the force of the fox spirit sealed in him. Sasuke's Chidori would be simulated by Penetrating Strike, plus some form or lightning aura Shikamaru would have Analytics Kiba would have Improved Sense: Smell, Attunement (Animal) metamagic, Empower Animal metamagic Hinata and Neji's Byakugan would be outright Clairvoyance. |
