Hand Seals/Charge up: Forty four handseals, whilst chanting.
Description: This jutsu is a self proclaimed forbidden jutsu and is only known by its creator that person being Kotaro Honoji. What it does is seal the soul of a being into an inanimate or dormant object, just like how Bijuu are sealed into objects. But this sealing jutsu goes deeper than that and upon sealing the inanimate object becomes animate or alive. They survive off of their own chakra pools, but it only cost a miniscule amount, so no actual chakra is drained while the entity lives in their new form. Normally the being will be sealed in an object that can be imagined being animate, ie: a teddy bear, gingerbread man. Not things like rocks, but it's not impossible and basically this results in death.
Now looking above one can see the amount of handseals are very extensive and it comes with chanting as well. This means it takes a decent deal of time, but along with that the object being sealed must be willingly sealed or either in a weakened or unconscious state.
Now another area that gets confusing is how to being operates after it has been sealed in another object. This all depends on the object used, but if it were to be a dormant human body then the being would simply go through a body change theoretically, as their elemental affinities and all things like that would stay the same, but of course their physicality would have changed. This means if they were a Taijutsu Master prior to the sealing and then were put into the body of an overweight unhealthy person, they could still be a Taijutsu Master mentally, but they would not possibly be able to pull off any of their previous attacks. Keeping that in mind, it means all jutsu previously known are retained and are not lost in the transfer process and chakra pools stay at the same levels if the whole being is sealed into one object.
Now that is if the soul or consciousness is sent into something that possess chakra naturally. For instance if the person were sealed into a teddy bear, unless modified to allow chakra to be emitted or used, the being would just be an animated teddy bear that could talk and things of that nature.
Weakness: After use Kotaro is forced to participate in a 1,000 word recovery topic regardless if used on himself or not. The amount of time the technique takes up is also a considerable drawback along with the fact the target must be weakened or willing to be sealed.
