This technique allows Pain to turn a human sacrifice into an exact copy of someone else, with all of their abilities, weapons, strength, memories, and personality. The original can control the copy remotely until the copy is killed, at which point the copy returns to their original appearance. The original must give a percentage of their chakra to the copy when it is created, and are then limited by that amount when the copy uses jutsu. This technique was used on Yura and Mukade and transformed them into Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki respectively.
