Transmutation Technique

Transmutation Technique (変移の術, Heni no Jutsu) is a very advanced technique that grants the user great power. This technique allows the user to transmute objects from one form to another by a process simple in conception yet complicated in application. The user separates Yin and Yang from objects and then puts them back together in a different form. The ratio of Yin and Yang is what determines the form acquired by the substance being transmuted. For instance, the famous shinobi, Sannoto Senju can transmute objects to metal giving him the ability to transform his opponents to metal statues through contact. The same occurs with those who use Metal Release.

The user cannot transmute objects into metal if they don't already possess the Kekkei Genkai, though it is possible to annihilate an object by turning them into another substance such as water by changing the ratio of the substance to 4:2 Yin to Yang, same concept applies to other elements. Though it seems very powerful, this form of transmutation can be only applied against materialized objects making them useless against fire and lightning. Yuugetsu uses a different type of transmutation as he can transmute objects that aren't materialized into chakra. Meaning that any sort of energy cannot affect him as he can separate Yin and Yang and put them back together in the form of normal chakra that is absorbed by him making any energy attack useless, including fire release, lightning release and even chakra-based attacks.

This technique can be applied only by contact and it is difficult for those who don't possess an assisting Kekkei Genkai to learn it. Meaning that it isn't challenging for those who possess metal release, yet it is very difficult for a normal shinobi to learn.
