Shapeshifting Technique


 * Name:
 * Type: Unknown, Supplementary
 * User: Pain (Deva path)
 * Debut (Anime): Shippūden Episode 15

This technique was used by Pain, to keep intruders away, while they extract Shukaku from Gaara. It involves a person giving up at least 30 percent of their chakra, in order to transform someone into a perfect clone of them, with all of their abilities, weapons, strength, memories, and personality. However, since the clone is dependent on the given chakra, they cannot use major chakra draining techniques. Once the clones are killed, or uses up their chakra, they will revert to their original form. This technique was used on Yura and Mukade and transformed them into Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki respectively. Later on when the fights were over, Zetsu "disposed of" (ate) the bodies, presumably to keep the secret of the technique.
