- Type: Unknown Rank, Suplementary
- Users: Pein
This technique was used by Pein, to keep intruders away, while they sealed of Shukaku from Gaara. It involves a person giving up 30 % of ones chakra, in order to transform someone into a perfect clone of them, with all of their abillities, weapons, strength, memories and personality. However, since the clone is dependent on the given chakra, they can't 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 another unnamed Sasori underling and transformed into Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki respective. Later on when the fights where over, Zetsu "disposed" of the bodies, presumably to keep the secret of the technique.
