Body Flicker: Glide

The Body Flicker: Glide (瞬身・滑走, Shunshin: Kassō) is an expansion of the Body Flicker Technique which is particularly useful for close-ranged practitioners. The original Body Flicker Technique is noted for its plethora of weaknesses, the most significant one being its one-step-one-action manner of execution. However, an individual can circumvent this weakness within a battle through the addition of a simple maneuver during the execution of an ordinary Body Flicker. Rather than make use of all the chakra directed towards the legs for incredible speed, some is actually conserved within the legs. Then, according to when the enemy finds an 'opening' and makes their strike, the said individual can release the chakra that is still present within their feet — especially if they're in the air — to quickly propel in another direction away from the opponent's intended strike, thus allowing the user to quickly encircle them and make use of the opening provided by the use of the technique.
