J-365 vs J-US001 confusion

[Paladin_of_chaos]

Opponent A's ninja uses J-US001 (Shadow Clone Jutsu)

Opponent B's ninja responds with J-365 (Opening the Sharingan Eye)

Now, my question is how is it determined how many cards Ninja A discards due to J-365's effect, which copies his J-US001 effect? Also, does Ninja A determine the amount upon activation of J-US001 or upon resolution?

Since you control the copy of J-US001, you would discard any amount of cards from your deck to give the user of the original J-US001 +X/+X, where X is equal to the number you discarded.

So the user of J-365 could discard cards from his/her deck to give the original user of J-US001 +X/+X? What happens with J-365?

What do you mean? It does its intended effect, then moves to the chakra area. Then, your opponent discards as many as he likes for the original J-US001.

Your opponent must decide how many cards before he/she begins to discard.

Sorry, let me just clarify step by step to make sure i understand clearly.

Player A's ninja uses J-US001

Player B's ninja responds with J-365

Both players agree not to add to the chain

Player B's J-365 resolves, in which Player A discards cards for J-US001's effect

Player A's J-US001 resolves, where the same player discards cards again.

Is this what you mean?

no. Player B's J-365 resolves. Player B decides how many and discards cards from the top of Player B's deck for J-365's effect, then Player A's J-US001 resolve, and decides how many to discard off of Player A's deck.

Oh yeah, since J-365 is targeting the "user", Player B will get a user-based effect, right? If so, thank you very much for clearing that up.
