Similar to how Itachi mind controlled some guy into becoming a lesser version of him and fighting with the team in the arc where the Akatsuki kidnapped Gaara and Konoha was trying to rescue him.

That's quite possible right?
Possible, yes. Though you'd have to wonder how one can ever copy the ability of a bloodline limit like the Sharingan.
