Body Flicker in Battle

[Gage Hatake]

Why don't people use the body flicker technique in battle a lot? I feel like it would be a great asset.

 

[Snape Uchiha]

Same reason why Lee never fights with his leg weights off. If people always had that kind of speed, than Kishi cannot come up with an adequate reason why they don't just blitz and kill their opponents instantly.

 

[FourthSmokage]

Its because they know that the Flying Thunder God technique makes the Body Flicker technique look like they're standing still.

 

[EternalFlame]

Bad writing by Kishi.

This guy knows what he is talking about.

Not really, more like what most writers do, no one ever starts off with powerful moves, it would be very boring. I agree that it should be used more, but I like the fact that Lee for example keeps his leg weights on. Because you know that when he takes them off, things get serious. The opponent is strong. Same thing with any ninja.

Holy shiz logical and thought out response in nb am I dreaming?

 

[Shunsin no Shisui]

...maybe because not everyone has it. :|

The ones who had the Shunshin no jutsu were J-man, 3rd Raikage and my boy Shisui. :eww: Although the current Raikage might have it but he combines it with his Raiton so you can't really tell. :yeah: Besides, he hasn't been given much panel time since the time Madara fvucked him up. Lol

^ no... omg

Part 1 sakura demonstrated body flicker Zzz

 

[Gage Hatake]

Maybe it is because they just decide to not use it. Because if everybody uses it all the time then technically they won't even be able to hit each other. And i think that when the 4th or A use it, the opponent won't use their body flicker because they know that theirs is trash in comparison.

Kishimoto's number 1 rule:

No one can blitz anyone Due to plot.

Kishimoto's Number 2 Rule:

Fok logic.

Pretty sure the body flicker is a pretty basic technique... Sometimes it just doesn't fit in with a ninja's arsenal.

Didn't Sasuke do it to Deidara?

i feel like for most people using it in battle would probably cause similar problems that the chidori does the whole tunnel vision thing so you cant see your surroundings or what your opponent may be doing while this can be fixed via fast perception ( sage mode, sharingan, or amazing reaction times/experience) probably why Shisui was renowned for his use of it.
