Body Flicker Technique


 * Name: Body Flicker Technique or Teleportation
 * Type: D-rank, Supplementary
 * Users: Most, if not all ninja above Genin level

This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short-long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker", likely referring to this technique.

The Body Flicker Technique has various variations among the different hidden villages, all of which involve some extra element aside from the movement itself. The extra element is usually some sort of substance used to distract the opponent, such as leaves or sand. Gaara, for instance, uses the Sand Body Flicker which uses sand to cover his movements. Other varieties include the Mist Body Flicker Water Body Flicker, and Leaf Body Flicker.
