Clan history: The Yamanaka clan (山中一族, Yamanaka Ichizoku) is a family of ninja found in Konohagakure. They own and run a flower shop in the village and specializes in mind related techniques
The members of this clan specialize in mind-centred techniques which makes them experts at intelligence gathering and espionage. They have also displayed sensory abilities and their techniques include transferring consciousness, reading minds and communicating telepathically.

The Yamanaka clan has a special relationship with the Akimichi clan and Nara clan. For generations, members of these three families have formed an "Ino-Shika-Chō Trio", named after the first part of the names of the members. The Yamanaka members are the "Ino" in the trio. To strengthen the unity between the three clans, a member of the Sarutobi clan will give them special earrings to present to each generation when they swear their oaths. The earrings also symbolize that they are considered adults by their respective clans.
Clan jutsu:

Name: Formation Ino-Shika-Chō
Rank: C - A Rank
Type: Ninjutsu and Taijutsu
Element:
Description:Formation Ino-Shika-Chō is a formation used by the members of the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans. It is designed to bind the opponent, with the clans respective secret techniques. An Akimichi will provide a distraction by attacking the opponent, generally with Human Bullet Tank. The distraction will allow a Nara to bind the opponent with their shadow. Then the Yamanaka will be free to use the Mind Body Switch Technique to control one of the opponents, with out fear of it missing.


Name:Mind Body Switch Technique
Rank:C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description: The Mind Body Switch Technique is the signature ability of the Yamanaka clan. With it, a ninja sends his mind into a target's body supplanting the target's mind with his own. The user transfers their consciousness to the target, giving them complete control of the body for a short period of time.

Their original body is left defenceless while this jutsu is active, leaving it susceptible to attack until they return. The mind transfer moves in a straight direction and takes some time to return to the user's body if it misses. Because of these reasons, it should only be used on immobilized targets. Similarly, if the opponent's will is strong enough, they can force the user from their body. Lastly, should any physical injury befall the victim's body while the mind-link is active, it would cause the user's body to also receive those same injuries. This can be rectified if user cancels the jutsu before the victim's body receives the damage.

Name:Mind Body Disturbance Technique
Rank:B
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description: A ninjutsu where one sends their chakra into the subject's nervous system, thus operating the enemies body at will. The enemies this technique is cast upon are completely under the users' control as their bodies become disconnected from their will. The difference between this, and the Mind Body Switch Technique is, the caster doesn't project their consciousness into the enemies body. Situations of numerical superiority for the adversary are precisely where this technique, which freely manipulates human beings will display its efficiency, by getting the enemies to turn on one another. Control can be exerted even from a distance.

Name:Mind Clone Switch Technique
Rank:B
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description: This technique allows the user to possess more than one target simultaneously and, once completed, to freely manipulate the bodies of each individual independent of one another, as if they were the user's own body.
Unlike the Mind Body Switch Technique, this technique can travel in a curved line but otherwise, seemingly suffers from the same consequences as the user is still required to transfer their consciousness into the targets.

Name:Mind Puppet Switch Cursed Seal Technique
Rank:A
Type:Juinjutsu, Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description: The user of this technique firstly transfers their mind into a puppet laid somewhere in advance, near the vicinity of an enemy's predicted path, before manipulating it to attack an intended opponent. When the opponent counters and inflicts damage upon the puppet, the cursed seal will take effect, causing the two consciousness (that of the user's inside the puppet and that of the victim who countered) to switch. Consequently, the user will gain full control of the opponent's body, while the victim's mind remains trapped within the immobile puppet.

Like the original technique, the user's body is left defenceless while the ability is active and any injury done to the victim's body is also reflected upon their true body, but this can be rectified if the user cancels the technique just before any damage is received.

Name:Yamanaka Clan Telepathy
Rank:A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:This technique allows the user to telepathically communicate with other people. The user can also transfer this ability to another person by touching their forehead. The user can communicate with multiple people at once and the targets can also communicate with one another while the technique is in effect.
