{{#if: | {{!}}- }} {{!}}- This collection of mahou enable Himiko to transform into any living creature found in nature. They are referred to as the 72 transformations, because all bodies in nature are governed by one of the 72 transformations, which determine a creature's behavior and interactions with other beings. These transformations represent "changing one's station" in dharma.

Formation
The first movement is skinning; banishing the old. The old form is cast off, and all that is left is a formless mass of energy. In this form, Kurenai is very susceptible to energy-based attacks. Next, a quantity of energy that is associated with the natural form desired, is drawn into this mass. For example, water element for a fish, or sky for a bird would be appropriate. This new mixture of energies is held together, and solidified into a new form. Finally, the inner truth ("character") of this new body is confirmed (it establishes a balance of forces).

Effects
Himiko attains a new form, one resembling that of a creature found in nature. These forms are never perfectly identical to natural animals, but do confer upon Himiko their natural talents and ability. In these forms, Himiko's higher reasoning is somewhat inhibited, and although she retains her own mind, powerful instincts can sometimes override her logic. Unlike a ninja's henge, this form is permanent until dismissed, and does not require a constant expenditure of chakra to maintain.
