What Kind of Ninjutsu Is This?

There were other, simpler ways to break the Shadow Imitation Technique.

For example, he could use the Earth Fish Reflection Technique to slip underground. With no shadow, the Shadow Imitation Technique could not control him.

Rino Yamanaka was worried about Uchiha Kurohane too. She spoke up.

"Watch out for Inoichi's Mind Body Switch Technique. It lets his soul enter an enemy's body and control them."

"Once he controls you, you've lost. The technique only travels in a straight line, and if it misses, he falls unconscious. Just make sure you dodge it."

Inoichi Yamanaka and Shikaku Nara were furious to hear the women reveal every secret of their techniques.

One look at a handsome guy, and those two traitors had forgotten their own family names.

These were the secret techniques of the Yamanaka Clan and the Nara Clan. How could they tell an outsider?

Though in the original Naruto story, Shikaku Nara and Ino Yamanaka had revealed those secrets too.

Shikaku Nara had even said at first that the Puppet Technique had a five-minute time limit, only to apparently forget that rule later.

Inoichi Yamanaka patted Shikaku Nara on the shoulder and spoke to him in his mind.

"Women really can't be trusted. They're only friends with that dead last, and they've already spilled our clans' secrets. What'll happen when they get closer to him?"

"We absolutely can't lose this time. If we do, they'll admire that dead last even more."

"But now that he knows our techniques' weaknesses, can we still win?"

This was the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Transmission Technique. Like telepathy, it let them hold a secret conversation right in front of the enemy.

With the Mind Transmission Technique, they would never have to reenact that classic Naruto scene: loudly plotting in front of the enemy.
