The '''Mind Body Switch Technique''' is the signature technique of the [[Yamanaka clan]].
This technique allows the user to enter the mind of another person or even an animal.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 332</ref> The user transfers their consciousness to the opponent, giving them complete control of the body for a short period of time. Their original body is left defenseless while this jutsu is active, leaving it susceptible to attack until they return. The mind transfer is slow-moving, moves in a straight direction, and takes some time to return to the user's body if it misses. Because of these reasons it should only be used on immobilized targets. Similarly, if the opponent's will is strong enough, they can force the user from their body, as [[Sakura Haruno]] does to [[Ino Yamanaka]].

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]
