Dan Katō noted that this technique had been used to kill a great number of shinobi during his lifetime.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 591, pages 6-7</ref> The only known way to counteract the technique is to trap the user within a barrier, such as the [[Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment]], before they can activate it.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 530, page 7</ref> With the release of the [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation]] technique, a reincarnated Dan was capable of taking control of his ascending spirit for a short period of time using this technique. It crossed a vast distance and was still able to manipulate a person's body as well as transfer [[chakra]] to them.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 591, pages 7-13</ref> == Trivia == * Dan's ability to cause his soul to exit his body makes him reminiscent of an {{translation|"ikiryō"|生霊|lit meaning=living ghost}}, from Japanese folklore. An ikiryō is a person whose soul can dwell outside his or her body. == See Also == * [[Mind Body Switch Technique]] == References == <references/> Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
