"The Body Flicker Technique is essentially a skill that greatly enhances movement speed."
"In this regard, anything that can achieve high-speed movement can be collectively referred to as a Body Flicker Technique."
At the training ground, Shinji explained to his disciples what the Body Flicker Technique was.
"Huh? Sensei, if that's the case, isn't the Substitution Jutsu also a type of Body Flicker Technique?"
Naruto scratched his head, thinking of the Substitution Jutsu from the three basic techniques.
The Substitution Jutsu only requires using objects in the environment to move quickly.
Shinji shook his head and explained, "Well, although the Substitution Jutsu is very similar to the Body Flicker Technique, it's not exactly the same."
"Substitution Jutsu relies on objects in the environment for movement, which means its range of movement is relatively limited."
"Whereas the Body Flicker Technique usually refers to instantly moving to any location, without relying on specific places or objects, its effect is much greater than Substitution Jutsu."
"So troublesome." Naruto ruffled his hair, feeling it was too complicated.
"You don't need to dwell on this too much, Naruto."
Shinji shook his head, amused, and held up a finger, saying, "The Body Flicker Technique actually has several classifications."
"And these classifications are Space-Time, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Fūinjutsu."
Sasuke, who was nearby, asked curiously, "Sensei, what category is Shisui-nii-san's Body Flicker Technique?"
As his brother's good friend, he had heard of the title Shisui of the Body Flicker. But he had never had the chance to meet him.
"Shisui?" Hearing Sasuke's question, Shinji stroked his chin.
In fact, he had once sought out Shisui to understand his Body Flicker Technique, and after learning about it, he could only say that only Shisui could achieve such a feat. After all, it was quite unfair. The opponent's attack would hit an afterimage, but if they were attacked, it was his real body.
"Mm-hmm." Sasuke looked at Shinji with an expectant expression.
Shisui was his brother's best friend. If he could learn it, wouldn't he be even closer to his brother?
Shinji said, sitting down cross-legged, "Shisui's Body Flicker Technique can actually be said to be a combination of Taijutsu, Clone Jutsu, and Genjutsu."
"And this requires a foundation of high movement speed, attack speed, and perception, as well as a decent tactical intellect, to be achieved."
"Oh, and high tactical intellect doesn't mean he has high intelligence."
To prevent Sasuke from becoming a fanboy of Shisui, Shinji added that sentence.
???
Sasuke was a bit caught off guard by that remark.
Although he was interrupted, Sasuke still caught the word "Genjutsu" in Shinji's explanation and asked in confusion, "Sensei, do you mean that Shisui-nii-san's Body Flicker Technique requires the use of the Sharingan?"
"That's right. This is also the origin of the title 'Shisui of the Body Flicker' that Shisui earned during missions."
"By using extreme speed and multiple clone afterimages to confuse the enemy, while the Genjutsu creates the illusion of the enemy being attacked, the real body seamlessly switches positions between the clones to turn that illusion into reality."
After Shinji finished speaking, his disciples all looked shocked.
Shikamaru was particularly stunned, as he could roughly understand from Shinji's words what a monster Shisui was. No wonder he said Shisui had good tactical intellect.
Naruto scratched his head and said, "Too complicated, not for me."
Shikamaru's lips twitched when he heard that.
Sasuke looked at Naruto speechlessly. Even his brother would find this technique difficult to achieve. Let alone Naruto, this single-celled organism.
"Alright, enough chitchat." Shinji clapped his hands, interrupting his disciples' reverie.
"The Body Flicker Technique that I know is actually self-developed."
After saying that, Shinji stood up and said to his disciples, "Next, I'll demonstrate it for you. Oh, and Hinata, you can use your Byakugan to observe."
Hinata was startled when she heard that, then nodded and formed hand signs to activate her Byakugan.
In Hinata's vision, Shinji had a highly compressed mass of Chakra in the chakra pathways of his soles. When it reached a critical point, the Chakra was precisely released through the acupoints.
Naruto and the others only saw Shinji's figure disappear from its original spot in that instant. And the ground was left with spiderweb-like cracks due to the recoil.
Sasuke and Hinata, however, keenly captured the brief afterimage of Shinji after he moved.
Sasuke murmured, "Chakra dissipation phenomenon?"
Shinji reappeared in the field and nodded. "That's right, what I just demonstrated was the maximum threshold that the Chakra pathways on the sole can withstand."
"So cool! Sensei, I want to learn this!" Naruto's eyes lit up as he said.
Sasuke closed his blood-red Sharingan before looking at Shinji and asking, "Sensei, I'd like to ask, how much Chakra does the Body Flicker Technique you just used consume?"
Shinji replied, "Not much, at full power it's about 1.5 times the consumption of a B-rank Ninjutsu."
Hearing this, Sasuke's lips twitched. He was a little jealous.
A Body Flicker Technique that required high consumption and high recovery ability and it also had destructive explosive power.
Which part of this wasn't prepared for Naruto?
Sasuke, with his Sharingan, couldn't see the Chakra pathways like Hinata, but that instantaneous burst...
Sasuke calculated that he could only use it twice consecutively at most before having to stop, otherwise, the Chakra pathways in his soles would burst.
"Sensei, but this can easily damage the Chakra pathways." Hinata pointed out the danger of Shinji's Body Flicker Technique.
Shikamaru, who was nearby, was still wondering why Sasuke suddenly felt a bit sour. Hinata's words immediately made it clear. He turned to look at Naruto, then at Sasuke.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'Shinji-sensei truly showed blatant favoritism towards Naruto.'
Shinji nodded, explaining to his disciples, "That's right, so what I just said and demonstrated was full power. If the Chakra burst is reduced by half, you only need to pause for ten seconds every five consecutive uses to prevent the Chakra pathways in the sole from overheating."
Sasuke crossed his arms, now realizing he had been too narrow-minded.
After all, what decent person would use a Body Flicker Technique that consumed the equivalent of two B-rank Ninjutsu as a regular attack?
Shikamaru rubbed his nose, guessing there was more to come that would make Sasuke even more jealous.
"Sensei! What is this Body Flicker Technique called?" Naruto pestered Shinji, asking.
"Shunpo." Shinji stroked Naruto's head and said.
"Moreover, if the user has mastered the second stage of Wind Release Nature Transformation, they can generate a high-pressure vortex from it, and half the amount of Chakra would achieve the speed I just demonstrated."
Sure enough.
Shikamaru glanced at Sasuke, who was already radiating negative energy.
