Speed Mirage

By using his naturally high-speed in combination with the Body Flicker Technique, Shūrin can travel so swiftly that it leaves several afterimages in its wake. These 'speed clones' are more effective when used over a shorter distance, as it confuses the opponent(s) into thinking that the user has not moved at all. Since this is not a demonstration of just raw speed and is a ninjutsu, these clones are somewhat capable of movement, though they instantly fade away if they or something makes contact with them. Shūrin created this technique right after graduating from Ninja Academy and as such, was able to impress both his fellow genin teammates and teacher, Katoku Hatake, by creating around six clones by moving in a zigzag pattern in order to distract Katoku during the bell test. While indistinguishable without the use of a dōjutsu, even without making contact with something, these clones do not last for very long. However, as an ANBU Captain, not only did Shūrin demonstrate the ability to form twenty of such momentum based clones but was also able to extend their duration by a few seconds. This technique is commonly used to either dodge an incoming attack or create an opening for an actual attack.
