Yamanaka clan

The Yamanaka clan's techniques are not often used during the hectic times of battle, as such, they would usualy take part on spying missions. However, as their techniques became more refined they came up with new uses for their techniques and found ways around the weaknesses of the other ones.

Another interesting thing is that in the recent years, three clans have formed a surprisingly good partnership with a formation called Ino-Shika-Chou, which uses all three of the clan's abilities to dominate the opponent if correctly used. The names of the fathers were passed onto their children and a tradition of the three clans had been started as their children formed a ninja team.

Shintenshin no Jutsu - Mind Body Change Technique
Viz Translation: Art of the Valentine
Character Use: Yamanaka Ino
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary


Shintenshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique originally used for spying. The ninja forms the needed handseals and then projects their spirit out of their body into their target. This can be another ninja or an animal. Unfortunately the spirit flies in a straight line at a slow speed. If the target moves and avoids the incoming spirit, the ninjas body falls lifeless until the spirit can find its way back to the body several minutes later. Because of the risk involved, the ninja must be very careful. When used in conjunction with a binding technique the chance of success greatly increases.

While inhabiting the body of their opponent, the target still remains in their mind but their mental processes are forced aside as the ninja takes control. However if the target has strong mental fortitude, they can overpower the intruder and force them out of their body. Also while in the body of their target, if the ninja takes sudden physical damage, their original body will be hurt as well.
