Rank: B.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: 200m. +100m per rank above Genin.
Specialty: Medical Ninjutsu||Katō Only
Duration: 3 posts. +1 post per rank above Genin. -5 per extra post.
Cooldown: 4 posts, -1 per post it was dispelled early.
Description: The signature technique of the Katō clan. Using pinpoint chakra control, they can make their mental and physical energies, and thus their soul, materialize and leave their body as a ghostlike version of themselves.
~They get a +1 in rank to their speed in spirit form, but can disguise their visual presence by moving at normal speed. The body cannot be detected by any technique that would do so via chakra; techniques that detect via heat signatures or electrical signals, etc, may find the body with -1 effectiveness, as it is still partially alive. The spirit itself has no physical form, but is essentially the source of all chakra in a person, so it may be sensed by chakra sensory techniques with -1 to their effectiveness.

~Genjutsu do not affect the user's soul as there is no cerebral Keirakukei to manipulate, and do not affect the body as there is no consciousness to manipulate. As a spirit, the user is immune to all types of jutsu that only exist on the physical plane. The body is still vulnerable to all non-Genjutsu; in addition, the consciousness having departed, the body is unable to dodge or block without outside intervention.

~As users can enter the bodies of other humans as easily as phasing with something else, this technique is perfect for reconnaissance or ambushes (similar to the Silhouette technique); the user can go completely unnoticed by detection-types and Doujutsu users if the sensor is not versed in that person's chakra signature (the user's chakra temporarily meshes with the host's). While the user cannot control the person they are possessing*, they can communicate with them within their mind, or even perform jutsu from inside the host body (though these cannot require any sort of manual cooperation from an unwilling or unknowing host). As the user's spirit is not affecting the host body, it is not anchored to it; thus, the user takes no damage if the host is harmed. If the user is somehow discovered, a Strong-Willed host (of not more than 2 ranks below the user) can expunge the user after 1 post.

~If the user's original body is hit by an attack of equal rank (strength of a Taijutsu/Bukijutsu blow or a jutsu), Chuunin must cease all action and return to their body within 2 posts. If the user's body is dealt a fatal blow while their soul is outside their body, their soul simply ascends and they die.

*Player Characters, NPCs with accounts, or key characters of missions cannot be controlled via possession. Errant NPCs such as random ninja and civilians, however, can be controlled (they are treated with the same specs/etc. as the user and are assumed to have no more weapons than the user). Player Characters or account NPCs may be controlled with explicit permission from the roleplayer.

Name: 霊化: 遠路唯心の術 {Reika: Enroyuishin no Jutsu ~ Spiritualization: Ethereal Journey Technique}
Canon/Custom: Custom.
Rank: B.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: Same as the user's Spiritualization range.
Specialty: Medical Ninjutsu||Senjutsu||Katō Only
Duration: Same as the user's Spiritualization duration.
Cooldown: 8 posts, -1 per post it was dispelled early.
Description: This technique is an application of the Reika no Jutsu to another WILLING person. The user supplies natural energy to the target's body to stabilize it and prevent it from dying, in place of their own powerful life force. The target needs to 'train' for 500 words to become accustomed to a spirit form and use it correctly. The user needs to be in constant contact with the target's body to sustain this technique; alternatively, the target's
This technique has the same attributes as the user's Reika no Jutsu; however, at least 10 of this jutsu's cost needs to be Senjutsu chakra (collected by meditation). It takes 5 chakra plus 5 Senjutsu chakra per extra person the user Spiritualizes using this technique. (All Senjutsu chakra costs are negated if the user is in Sage Mode; activation cost would be 20 chakra instead of 10 chakra and 10 Senjutsu chakra.)

Description:Due to being so attuned to the spiritual plane, clan members have the special ability of sensing other human spirits; this is specific to their own self, so the radius of sensing is wherever their soul is. This is distinct from sensing chakra or biological functions, as it is impossible to suppress one's spirit, even by the Katō clan themselves. While it is technically more powerful in this respect, it is also much less versatile than a chakra-sensing technique. They see spirits as faint hitodama (balls of eerie fire, in legends thought to be 'death candles', the souls of the departed) in their field of vision, while a sixth sense tells them where other souls are. Clan members seem to have a penchant for remembering the distinct 'color' of each person's hitodama; however, inexperienced clansmen (Chuunin or below) tend to become frazzled by concentrating on this ability when there are many people about, giving them a -1 to reaction time. This ability allows Katō clansmen to perform some of their more intricate spirit/soul techniques (those that don't require their own but involve others'). If the clan member uses Senjutsu chakra for this technique's maintenance cost, or is in Sage Mode while using this technique, its range doubles; if the user has any chakra in their reserves from meditation or is in Sage Mode, this is also true for the passive range.
