You'd have to change the icon and icon_state variables. To change the icon back, use the initial() procedure, or store their icon and icon_state to a variable.

will this work?
mob/verb/Henge_no_Jutsu(mob/M in view())
    if(usr.Chakra >= 2)
        usr.Chakra-=2
        usr.icon=M.icon
        usr.icon_state=M.icon_state
        sleep(150)
        usr.icon=icon('Light.dmi')
    else
        usr<<"You dont have enough chakra to use this!"

Why don't you try it out? And you still have to store the old icon and icon_state variables.

Of course, all this is assuming you have no overlays or underlays.

        oldy = usr.icon //this variable will change it back to the old icon your character had...
        usr.icon=M.icon
        sleep(150)
        usr.icon = oldy //changing it back...
    else
        usr<<"You dont have enough chakra to use this!"
try that...

Icon changing for a small time is tricky. What if the player logs out? What if the player uses ANOTHER icon changing skill? It'd pick his already changed icon as oldy!
