The user converts their consciousness to [[spiritual energy]], which they send at a target. Their consciousness moves slowly towards the target and travels in a straight line. If the user misses their target, it will take several minutes for their consciousness to find its way back to their own body. To prevent this from happening, the Mind Body Switch should only be used against targets that are stationary or that are restrained. When their consciousness does successfully make it to the target, the user supplants the target's mind and takes total control of their body.<ref name="c72">''Naruto'' chapter 72, pages 11-13</ref>
Originally, this ninjutsu was suited for intelligence-gathering missions rather than battle.<ref name="DB1"/> With it, a ninja sends his mind as spiritual energy into a target's body supplanting the target's mind with their own. The user transfers their consciousness to the target, giving them complete control of the body for a short period of time. While in control of the body, the user is able to communicate with the target.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 533, page 7</ref> Since the user is in another body, they are also able to use that body's chakra.<ref name="DB1"/> It is also possible for the user to switch bodies with the target. This has great strategic value when used on a team-mate as neither body is left incapacitated and they may also make use of the user's abilities as well as their own while doing this.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 523, page 8</ref> To remain inconspicuous when spying, the user can perform this technique on an animal, such as a hawk, which they can use to do aerial reconnaissance. It is generally used on immobilised targets.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 332, page 7</ref>

Conversely, however, the user's original body is left defenceless while this technique is active, leaving it susceptible to attack until they return. The mind transfer moves slowly in a straight direction and takes some time to return to the user's body if it misses. Similarly, if the opponent's will is strong enough, they can force the user from their body, as Sakura Haruno did to Ino Yamanaka during the Chūnin Exams. Also, if the user's chakra level is low, the technique will be harder to maintain. Furthermore, should any physical injury befall the victim's body while the mind link is active, it would cause the user's body to also receive those same injuries. This can be rectified if user cancels the technique before the victim's body receives the damage.

The Mind Body Switch Technique is the signature technique of the Yamanaka clan.

Overview

The user converts their consciousness to spiritual energy, which they send at a target. Their consciousness moves slowly towards the target and travels in a straight line. If the user misses their target, it will take several minutes for their consciousness to find its way back to their own body. To prevent this from happening, the Mind Body Switch should only be used against targets that are stationary or that are restrained. When their consciousness does successfully make it to the target, the user supplants the target's mind and takes total control of their body.[2]

The Mind Body Switch is ideal for intelligence-gathering, and in fact that's why it was originally created;[1] the target's body can be used to explore locations that the user can't enter and read documents that the user can't access.[3] Users can take advantage of the target's physical abilities, such as a bird's flight to better recon an area.[4] Users can also perform their own jutsu while possessing another, notably their sensory skills.[5] While possessing another's body, users can communicate with their targets.[6]

Ordinarily, the Mind Body Switch lasts until the user chooses to release it. Targets with strong wills can force users from their body, something that becomes easier to do if the user is low on chakra.[7] While a user is possessing a target, their own body is left inert. This isn't necessarily an issue in one-on-one encounters, but when facing multiple opponents this leaves their body vulnerable to attack. Furthermore, any damage the possessed body receives is done to their original body as well.[8] It is for this reason that Yamanaka are so often teamed with members of the Akimichi and Nara clans; the Akimichi keeps opponents at a distance, and Nara can use their shadow to manipulate the Yamanaka's body.[6] Strategically, the user can eliminate a number of the technique's weaknesses by completely trading bodies with a target, transferring the latter's consciousness to the user's body.[5] In the anime, the Akuta, are immune to this technique.[9]
