Description:

One of the most versatile and widely used of shinobi techniques, the Transformation Technique allows the user to assume the form of anyone or anything which they have previously observed either physically or through some form of visual media such as illustrations and portraits. This Technique can be kept indefinitely, so long as the user can maintain concentration and is still able to devote Chakra toward using the Technique. Of note, however, is the fact that the accuracy of the transformation relies entirely on the user and as a result, observing the target of their transformation briefly or only through illustrations may result in egregious errors in the transformation itself whereas more experienced users or those who have studied their target extensively are able to more convincingly fool keen observers.

This Technique will not give the user access to the mannerisms, personality traits, or thoughts associated with the individual whom they are copying and as such may still reveal the user as an imposter if they have not carefully and extensively studied their target. It will, however, allow for the altering of the user's voice to match with the individual being impersonated so long as the voice has been previously heard by the user.

Although the Transformation Technique may last indefinitely, it will immediately end upon the user losing consciousness or through the Chakra supply being interrupted in some manner. The user may, at their discretion, end the Technique at any time or assume a different form if desired with this most commonly being done if the user is found out and must flee discreetly or they wish to confuse and bewilder an opponent during combat.
