1. What technique are you after?

Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation 2. Who is the user of this technique?

Sizuka Hoshoku

3. How will they learn this technique?

Shizuka is the Death God's chosen one, coming from a long line of Monks who worship the God of the Dead. This technique is essentially a ritual passed down in that order. But keep in mind, this isn't not exactly Edo Tensei, but to me, it is close enough.

The technique involves a ritual between the Monk and the Death God, as the monk offers the Death God a sacrifice. A captured man, preferably a shinobi, is trapped within a seal, and upon activation, they are given to the Death God. Upon return, in theory, the Death God would supply back a soul of your wishing, but only one it hasn't consumed yet. If the soul had been consumed into the Death God, it would require a multitude of more sacrifices to give to the Death God, before the God would even think about relinquishing the one soul. Or perhaps, one soul of great importance.

This soul exchanging process could take anywhere from a few seconds, to five minutes to be completed. Upon completion, the ritual markings would fade, signifying the soul had successfully bonded with its new body. This means the reincarnated doesn't change appearance unless something like the Transformation Technique is implemented on the body. However it should be noted, that things that made them who they are, (such as an Uchiha's Sharingan) would be able to be accessed. As the soul melds with the body, they regain their powers they had in the previous life, and an enhanced body, very similar to Edo Tensei, as part of the ritual. But if done this way, all the powers of the individual are at their disposal, similar to Madara being past his prime.

However, they may be restricted to the physical body they have inhabited. While enhanced, say if the person sacrificed had weak legs, they would retain the same restrictions of the body. Same with sicknesses, which could mean these could hold them back. However, the sicknesses the reincarnated once had possessed are now gone. They can only be restricted by the sicknesses and weaknesses of the sacrificed soul's body, such as disabilities and chronic cough.

This technique would essentially be taught to all the Monks of Death. However, it would of never been actually attempted, for out fear and reverence of the Death God they had.

So what makes Shizuka perform it? This is because he has communed with the Death God, and is in fact, the Death God's divine will. Slaughtering souls for "the master", the Shinigami allows Shizuka to do this, in order to reap more souls for him essentially. This establishes the Monk Shizuka as a necromancer, at least partly.

Well, that's the idea.

4. How will they make it unique?

Not exactly Edo Tensei, it is a unique spin I'm putting on Shizuka's capabilities. In fanon canon, he'd use this to summon (most likely fanon) shinobi of great fame, who could assist him in reaping the masses for the Death God.
