Wind Release: Flickering Lattice

Wind Release: Flickering Lattice is a technique that combines Body Flicker Technique with Wind Release in order to create a form of high-speed movement.

Overview
By infusing wind-based chakra throughout their entire body, concentrating it into their limbs, the user is able to gain immense speed that goes beyond what is normally possible while using Body Flicker. They can attack their opponent from multiple angles nearly instantaneously, and as wind is condensed into their body they can block attacks with their bare hands with little or no damage. This technique is commonly used in conjunction with Taijutsu, as the rate of acceleration determines the force of which a strike will be delivered. By utilizing their wind-infused body the user can increase the force of their blows to devastating impact.

To true masters of the technique, (those who have gained an extremely highly advanced degree of skill over Wind Release and chakra flow) it appears as though time slows to a near stand-still, allowing them to out-maneuver opponents and cover great distances in an instant. As they move, afterimages of their body are created each time they take a step as a result of what is best described as penetrating through air resistance. These “shadows of air” appear faint and ghost-like, leaving a trail that rapidly disappears. Although their opponent may be able to follow the shadows, by the time the reach the end of the trail it will be too late, as the user has already struck.

Perhaps the most powerful and unique aspect of the technique is that a master is also capable of fixing the high-speed wind chakra beneath their feet, allowing them to stand in mid-air.
