Corpse Clone Technique

The Corpse Clone Technique is a kinjutsu that allows the user to assume the identity of their victims. By consuming the brain of a live victim, the user is able to assimilate their memories, abilities and assume their identity perfectly. This technique is perfect for infiltration and spying leaving targets none the wiser as the user becomes a perfect replica. In the anime, the changes are implied to not require upkeeping once performed, as Shojoji was able to keep impersonating Tsukiyo at Hōzuki Castle, despite being branded with Fire Release: Heavenly Prison, which prevents one from using chakra.

Trivia

 * While in the form of Yamaoka, Shojoji was shown to pluck a hair from his head, seemingly causing him to revert back to his original appearance. In the anime, in the form of Kokuri, Shojoji did no such action to revert back.
