Tsurushi becomes identical to a person, creature or non-magical object they have a complete visual image of. This can not be a light source, armor, tool, or vehicle and, and they can not recreate a magical effect. Creatures must make a DC 12 Investigation check realize that they are transformed.

A generic object is left in their place and they take any remaining damage from that attack. Tsurushi can add reduce this damage by an additional 5 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost.

[Source]. A genin of the New Era's Hidden Mist, Tsurushi was one of Kagura's few friends, being able to look past his "blood rages" to see a respectable shinobi worth trying to be an equal to. After graduation, he learned of the bygone era of the Bloody Mist, and became fascinated by the individual strength and national integrity it brought, becoming a delinquent and dissident of Chojuro's rule, particularly in opening his borders to tourists. Picking a fight with one tourist group from the Leaf, he picked out Boruto as a prime target, hoping to achieve some fame for himself, and poor diplomacy for the village, though ultimately his attack would be thwarted before it could truly begin by Iwabee and Kagura. Reporting back to Shizuma, his boss was disappointed that the attack was a failure, ordering that they kidnap Denki that night. Luring out Boruto and Kagura, Tsurushi attempted to cast doubt between the two shinobi, revealing Kagura's history, though Boruto cared little and forced he and his gang to retreat again. Tired of his subordinate's incompetence, Shizuma savagely beat Tsurushi before disowning him from his future nation. Luckily, Sarada happened upon his unconcious body, tending to his wounds. Revealing everything he was a part of, he pointed the Leaf shinobi in the direction of Shizuma's next attack. Following their successful defeat, with Chojuro's help, Tsurushi helped return Boruto, Sarada, and Iwabee back to their hotel before curfew.
