Spirit Transformation Technique

This technique allows Dan's spirit to materialise and leave his body, which is then able to take possession of a target, enabling him to freely manipulate the victim's body at will. Dan has also stated that this technique had been used to kill a great number of shinobi during his lifetime. The only known way to counteract the technique is to trap the user within a barrier, such as the Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment, before they can activate it.

With the release of the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation technique, a reincarnated Dan was capable of controlling his own spirit for a short period of time using this technique, where it crossed a vast distance and was still able to manipulate a person's body as well as transfer chakra to them.
