Shinri sōsa

Shinri sōsa (心理操作, Psychological manipulation) is a unique genjutsu of Sano Mikoto. To use the subject must be bound or weakened Sano then places his hand over their hear. He then forms a hand seal which allows him to enter the enemies mind and gain their knowledge. With this Sano can learn the workings of a hiden jutsu or a finjutsu and even a kinjutsu.

Sano stated that this jutsu can only be used on a person only once and for a limited time. Allowing him to only learn about one technique with each use. If he tries to remain past the desired time the enemy's mind is most likely will attempt to fight back.
