Code:
mob/Pein
    verb
        CeasePathControl(mob/M in oview(usr))
            set name = "Return to Body"
            set category = "Six Paths"
            src.controlled=M
            src<<"You are no longer controlling any of Your Six Paths."
            usr.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
            usr.client.eye = M
            usr.client.mob = M
            usr.verbs -= /mob/Pein/verb/ShinraTensei
            usr.verbs -= /mob/Pein/verb/BenshoTenin
            usr.verbs -= /mob/Pein/verb/ChibakuNoTensei
            usr.verbs -= new /mob/Puppet/verb/kugutsu()
            usr.contents -= new /obj/Slug_Summoning_Scroll
            usr.contents -= new /obj/Big_Snake_Scroll
            usr.contents -= new /obj/Frog_Summoning_Scroll
            usr.contents -= new /obj/Bee_Summoning_Scroll
            usr.verbs -= new /mob/Tenten/verb/HomingShuriken()
            usr.verbs -= new /mob/Tenten/verb/HomingKunai()
            usr.ghost=0
            usr.tai=usr.Mtai
            usr.nin=usr.Mnin
            usr.gen=usr.Mgen


mob/Pein
    verb
        DevapathControl(mob/M in oview(usr))
            set name = "Deva Path(Control)"
            set category = "Six Paths"
            src.controlled=M
            src<<"You are now controlling [M.name]"
            usr.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
            usr.client.eye = M
            usr.client.mob = M
            M.contents += usr.contents
            M.verbs += /mob/Pein/verb/ShinraTensei
            M.verbs += /mob/Pein/verb/BenshoTenin
            M.verbs += /mob/Pein/verb/ChibakuNoTensei
            M.verbs += usr.verbs)
         if(M.Realplayer == 1)
            src.controlled=null
            src<<"You can't control real players"
         if(M.human == 1)
            src.controlled=null
            src<<"You can't control real players"


Problem description:
alright the Path control works fine but when I try to return to the original body is bring me to my loading screen which isnt a huge issue but would prove annoying to players suggestions?

Try giving a key to the original mob, and see if that solves the problem. How your switching control of mobs, is one of the worst way to do it.
M.key=key//This uses less lines than the 3 
//usr.client you have, though it still one of 
//the worst ways to control mobs.

There is a different way to control mobs, and it doesn't log the mob out, but its still gonna need client.eye if you want to change view. And a different way to use obj verbs.

Is the mob/pein login() different from mob or mob/char_create or does the mob/char_create or mob get the pein verbs.

And what are your other five mobs.
mob
     verb
          switch
               var/lx=M.x
               var/ly=M.y
               //switch mobs here.
               //mob at login screen for less than a second.
               M.loc=locate(lx,ly,1)//locate back at last coordinates.

Changing a client's mob causes Login() and Logout() to be called. That is their defined role. You need to move the code that takes you to the login screen somewhere else, like mob/temporary_mob/Login().
