The Toad Flat Shadow Control Technique allows Jiraiya to merge with the shadow of a subdued foe, similar to the Shadow Imitation Technique of the Nara Clan. Jiraiya can then fully control the victim from within their shadow, allowing him to more easily infiltrate foreign territories. If he has to use his other jutsu, he must emerge from the shadow. Once he fully emerges, the hold over his victim is broken and they regain control of their body.
