Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Mind Body Switch Technique: The Mind Body Switch Technique is the signature technique of the Yamanaka clan. The user converts their consciousness to spiritual energy, which they send at a target. Their consciousness moves slowly towards the target and travels in a straight line. When their consciousness does successfully make it to the target, the user supplants the target's mind and takes total control of their body.
* Mind Clone Switch Technique: This technique allows the user to transfer their consciousness into more than one target by cloning their consciousness, giving them complete control of the bodies for a short period of time. Like the Mind Body Switch Technique, the user's body is left defenceless while the technique is in use. Unlike the Mind Body Switch, this technique can travel in a curved line.
*Mind Body Transmission Technique: The Mind Body Transmission Technique is a hijutsu utilised by members of the Yamanaka clan to telepathically communicate with people. Using this technique, the Yamanaka may also act as a medium for persons to communicate with one another telepathically; this is done through establishing physical contact with the person. The user can communicate with multiple people at once and the targets can also communicate with one another while the technique is in effect. This technique is not limited to just transmitting thoughts, and images such as memories or even strong feelings can be conveyed through this method.
* Chakra Hair Trap Technique: After cutting her hair, Ino infuses the strands with her chakra to trap anyone that comes into contact with them. Once immobilised, they are an easy target for her to cast her Mind Body Switch Technique.
