Pseudo code then.
mob/proc/killclone()
   for(mob in view 5)
     if(mob doesn't have a client and is a clone)
        kill mob
     else
        continue the loop

Not even.
obj/illuminate
    verb
        Illuminate()
            set category = "Dojutsu"
            for(var/mob/M in view())
                if(!M.client&&M.clone)
                    del(M)
                else
                    continue

That else is completely useless. It's a common mistake to try and hang an else off of every if(). Remember, if it doesn't do anything, then chances are, it doesn't belong there.

obj/illuminate/verb/Illuminate()
    set category = "Dojutsu"
    for(var/mob/M in view())
        if(!M.client && M.clone) del(M)

In addition to the above, if a 5-tile radius is actually desired (as in, a circular region), then you'd need some additional math in there to be sure this falls within a circle. Otherwise, the effect will be an 11×11 square if you just use view(5). To make it a circle, you'd need this:

for(var/mob/M in oview(5))
  var/dx = M.x - x
  var/dy = M.y - y
  /*
      Find distance**2 which is dx*dx+dy*dy. If it is more than
      (radius+0.5)**2, it is outside the circle. A good approximation
      of (radius+0.5)**2 is radius*(radius+1), which here is 5*6=30.
   */
  if(dx*dx + dy*dy > 30) continue
  if(!M.client && M.clone)
    // kill M; tell it who killed them
    M.Die(usr)


That will produce a nice circular effect.
