Breath of Life Technique

This is known to be one of the ultimate Yang Release techniques in existence. Using this technique, a user transfers his very life essence and being into another body. After generating Yin Release Shadow Clones, the user then initiates this technique and breathes his own life into the clone, transferring himself unto the clone and thus switching places with it. The complexities of this technique are immense, and once the user transfers bodies, his earlier body turns into a mere Yin Release Shadow Clone.

To put it in simpler terms, the user switches places with his clone and is capable of doing so as long as he possesses clones in a 5 metre radius around him. By constantly switching his existence into different bodies, the user is able to avoid damage, launch attacks at enemies from different directions and tilt the strategic balance of a battle in his favour. The technique was deemed so sinful by ancient shinobi and was destroyed for fear it may be misused.

However this technique poses many risks. If all the clones are destroyed while the user has not managed to activate the technique, it is rendered useless. The greatest danger this technique poses is if the user has not attached his life force to a clone yet and has only just detached himself from his body. If all the clones close to the user are destroyed, the attack backfires and the user's soul returns to its' original body in fragments, destroyed beyond repair. After a matter of time the individual will die, painfully.
