Shapeshifting* Technique (象転の術, Shouten no Jutsu)
Ninjutsu, No rank, Supplementary, All ranges
User: Pain
Transferring one's chakra to a sacrifice and possessing them
As long as they stay alive, they'll play the part of a strong person!!
Pain allocates chakra from an "Akatsuki" member to a target person, allowing them to fight via an elaborate "copy". The power of the copy is in proportion to the volume of allocated chakra. The original's abilities are also available...!! However, once the chakra runs out, the technique is cancelled and the copy dies. As it even uses up the target's chakra, this is an incredibly brutal technique.
↓The one who performs the technique and decides how much chakra is allocated is Pain...

→The "Shapeshifting Technique" also imitates the weapons and tools held by the original person, allowing the copy to fight with them...!!
For a short time a part of "Akatsuki"!!

←The appearance of the person on whom the "Shapeshifting Technique" is performed is 100% identical to the original person.

←Of course, the techniques used by the copy are the same as those of the original person. Even the pride of the "Uchiha clan," the "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"**, can be flawlessly reproduced!!
*The kanji literally mean "shape," "imitation" and "shift," "revolve" respectively. "Shapeshifting" is a perfect translation for these kanji, but "shouten" isn't the word normally used as the Japanese translation for "shapeshifting," which would be "henshin" (変身).
