Yin Release: Spirit Minions

Yin Release: Spirit Minions (陰遁・霊手先, Inton: Ryōtesaki) is a technique used by those specialized in espionage and intel hunting. It's considered to be a masterpiece in the art of espionage and an essential jutsu that can augment the performance of any spy or intel division. The concept of the technique is simplicity itself. However, it's very pragmatic in the right hands.

Overview
The user simply utilizes their Yin in order to forge a "minion", which takes its form resembling the user's personality, which is influenced by their life experiences. For instance, some minions would take the shape of a snake, which would mean that the user is cunning. Others would take the shape of the crow, which would mean that the user is gloomy and mysterious so on and so forth. The form of the minions can be altered to any shape the user wishes, if the initial form proved to be inconvenient. The most ideal form is that of the butterfly as it's small and can move around with ease.

All the minions are pitch black, no eyes and no facial details, which can be noticed if one concentrated on the faces, yet most shinobi fail to do so as it's very unpredictable. The mission of the minions is to get intel or deliver it. They only serve that purpose. They are useless in combat as they are simply mindless and merely senseless extensions of the user. The user can manipulate the minions to perform any task that he wishes or he can transcribe a certain order for the minions to perform.

The user's Yin is always connected with every minion, meaning that everything that the minion hears or sees would be transferred to the user immediately. The minions can hear as sharp as humans and can see at a 360 degree angle, despite the fact that they don't possess eyes. The user can see through the eyes of the minions and hear through their ears, or he can chose to leave the minions and get the intel all at once as soon as the minions transfer the intel to him or as soon as the minions perish, which would happen at the wish of the user. The user can create multiple minions at once and transcribe many different orders in them.

The minions automatically seek shadows as their pitch black color would simply conceal their existence. "Seeking Shade" is probably one of the main and vital commands that the user must transcribe into the minions. As for their physical presence, they are completely intangible as they are a part of the user's imagination with a very slight presence of Yang energy, so slight that it doesn't bring them into the physical world.
