Berserkchart486 wrote: But, now, the problem is your post, nor mine makes ANY sense. Do you know why, Daz? Because you didn't set up a body replacement or any indication of it at all in your earlier post.

First and foremost, let me decipher my own posts and show you where he built up to the Body Replacement Technique, starting with my very first one. I'll try to organize this well, so that there shall be no confusion at the end of it.

The Log
Glancing around, he then rose slowly to his feet, chakra particles gathering about every ounce of his being, stemming from each of his hands.

During this initial phase, Shibui "glances around". Now the question is, at what? Well, he's already paid respect to the dead, so he's not going to waste any more time concerning them. The only thing around, other than that worth mentioning, are trees, given that you allowed me to select the setting, and that I mentioned it being a forest in the sentence before this one.

This is where he identifies a log in that forest, during his "glancing around". And then he stands up, and immediately begins to gather chakra in preparation. (If I literally said, "he found a log"… that would've been too predictable, right?)

Now, while he identifies the log in this post, the chakra build up is for the body flicker he casts to evade the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough. How did I differentiate the Body Flicker from the Body Replacement? Pay close attention to this next excerpt.

Then, he clapped his hands together and charged forward, straight ahead in the direction of his enemy.

Key word here is clapped. As in once, because Narutopedia lists a one hand-sign requirement on the Body Flicker, while the Body Replacement has several. Also, if he was going to use a different jutsu, he wouldn't need to concentrate "about every ounce of his being". He's channeling chakra to his body because the body flicker is a body orientated jutsu.

So in my first point, I have covered the following: when he identified the log he would use for his Body Replacement Technique, as well as pointed out that this was my intent.

The Tag
You already caught onto the tag, but I will go through this part as well. This also occurs during my first post.

"Aight, I'ma tell you what I'm about ta do," he started, digging a hand into his back pocket, leading to a sound that was not unlike the crumbling of a sheet of paper.

The paper that is crumbling in his back pocket is the paper tag that appears on the log when he uses the Body Replacement Technique. Keep in mind, the paper tag is not an explosive but rather a transcription seal.

Let's return to the previous excerpt once more.

Glancing around, he then rose slowly to his feet, chakra particles gathering about every ounce of his being, stemming from each of his hands'.

Notice, this time I have bolded a different portion of the same excerpt. Do you see how he first channels chakra into his hand then digs into his back pocket? That's where he's imbuing the transcription seal.

So in this point, I have covered: when he imbues the tag and prepares it to appear on the log.

The Hand Seals for the Body Replacement
Berserkchart486 wrote: Now, allow me to humor you for a moment. I'm going to guess you set it up when you "Clapped his hands and channeled chakra into every ounce of his being", but that's where something is wrong. Shikaniku would've seen it. I'm going to guess and say that's where it is, and if it isn't, then tell me where. Or, actually, let me guess and say that's being used to fuel his body flicker. Vitalizing the body and all that?Amirite? Either way, you see the dilemma here, because now you have two actions being fueled by one thing.

Alright, so let's move on to my second post, which takes place after the Body Flicker and while Shibui is airborne.

Airborne, the boy intertwined his hands into an array of sequences, before retrieving a kunai from his radiant tool pouch and swinging toward the back of Shikaniku's neck with vicious speed, hoping to capture the man between the intervals of his own attack and retrieval, all whilst the smug grin was still plastered about his face.

Interwined his hands into an array of sequences = he's forming many hand-signs. These are the hand signs that are used for the Body Replacement. What else could he have been weaving hand signs for at this point?

So no, it was not when he clapped his hands, it was when he was airborne. Also, Shikaniku wouldn't have seen it, his back is turned to Shibui.

Radiant tool pouch = his tool pouch is glowing with chakra, because of the transcription tag paper seal he touched earlier. I mention this again to indicate that something has been done to the paper tag.

Now, let's look at the second part of that excerpt:

...swinging toward the back of Shikaniku's neck with vicious speed, hoping to capture the man between the intervals of his own attack and retrieval, all whilst the smug grin was still plastered about his face.''

This is a fake. Meaning, Shibui never expected the kunai to hit its mark, he was doing it to disguise his true attack, which required for him to be hurt so that the Body Replacement Jutsu could take effect. So in that instance he's trying to receive damage, not deal damage.

So in this point, I covered the hand-signs that prepared the Body Replacement Technique.

Put them Together
The Log + The The Tag + The Hand-Seals = Body Replacement Technique.

More Evidence
During my posts, I provided more evidence so that it wouldn't appear as though I ended up doing this out of the blue when the time came to it. So, let's now find those hints.

This is the very first hint, which ties into everything. This comes in my first post.

''Mama had always told him to go out with a bang. ''

Pay close attention to the word "bang", as it reappears in my last and most current post. I even italicized it the last time around so that you would hopefully see the connection. This time, however, I will bold it for you instead.

He could do no more than watch helplessly as his speculation shattered into reality before him, and the hard truth resounded in a bang.

The bang, as you might have probably already known, refers to an explosion of some kind.

Another was obviously with the radiant tool belt, as I already said, as well as the hand-signs while he was airborne. You don't need to weave signs to pull a kunai from your pouch, so obviously, that implies another jutsu.

Conclusion
So, hopefully it's more obvious to you now where, when, and how he used the Body Replacement Technique. If you have any more questions, let me hear them.
