How on earth is it not?

That's the starting distance Hidan had. This what Kakashi does before Hidan approaches him:
Kakashi even prepared himself when he saw Hidan was going against him, and he was forced to backpedal, when against other opponents, he has countered with a straight raikiri counter (against edo Zabuza for example, and against the edo jins). Meaning that Hidan covered the initial distance pretty fast not giving Kakashi other options. The attack itself was slow, but that's because Hidan's strikind speed is not fast.
The initial distance that's covered, is covered pretty fast. Then the attacker slows down to make the attack.
Hidan initally covered that distance with sunshin..
Saying this with ur own words/quote , "those distances mean ntn to shinobi standards , they're super humans.
Especially when we hav p1 neji covering pretty much the same distance while restrained and having to react to a spear which was literally point-blank range , by jumping followed by the dash which means it oviously wasn't the best start off to begin with.Those distances mean nothing to shinobi standards , they're super humans.

So now we hav p1 restrained neji covering the same distance ur using to hype hidans shunshin speed , yet im seein no proof hidan nor p1 neji used shunshin in either cases apart from assumptions , because I can easily use p1 sra neji's feats and say that his shunshin is relatively = to hidans based on the distances covered bein similar to the one in ur scan or I could say that p1 neji's body speed at the time (3.5 ) is relavtively equal to hidans shunshin in that scan , with no actual proof of who is actually superior shunshin-wise between them , made even worse by the fact that war arc neji and even p1 neji >>>>>>hidan in the extent to which they can control their chakra. and ultimately shunshin if given a logical assessment.
-On to ur next point , kakashi preparing to backpedal makes perfect sense given the circumstances , but hidan not givin kakashi any "options" when we all kno he could've activated MS and sniped hidan no diff in the same way he did to sasuke's arrows makes no sense especially when we hav kakashi himself taking his stance and getting ready to react to hidan , him choosing to react the way he did doesn't determine that it was his only option lol that case directly goes to MS sasuke and his arrow , kakashi didn't even show any hint of surprise/shock from the dash , he simply took his stance and reacted no diff ntn to suggest he had no other option , furthermore chidori would've been useless as fck and a waste of energy.
The initial distance was covered pretty fast , but its ntn that p1 neji wasn't capable of nor can u prove either used shunshin in their corresponding instances.
Shunshin is high speed movement usin chakra to vitalize the body , hidan covering that distance is ntn special to shinobi standards when he already has 3.5 in speed. Hidan is in the same league as kakashi in taijutsu (4.5 ) so when he blind-sides him , kakashi simply countered and parried him usin his superior reflexes and reactions. It makes zero sense for kakashi to be usin full speed when hes already locked in cqc with hidan , which is easily handled by him successfully avoiding gettin scratched by hidan who blindsided him through smoke , ( obviously one of the regular guerrilla tactics utilized by him/kakusu) , kakashi countered this with ease and did so without needing to waste chakra/stamina usin shunshin or more speed when he easily handles this madman via kunai and 3t all while keepin and eye on his partner.Another good sunshin feat for Hidan:
1-His initial position before the fire was right next to Kakuzu, and he blindsides Kakashi as Kakashi jumps to dodge the fire
2-After that, they clash and move at the same speed around the tree as the illustration shows
Here he outruns the shadow by a pretty long gap, forcing shikamaru to use a lot of tricks to get him

He's so much faster than the shadow itself, that he can dodge it while having another target.
So tell me, how on earth does Neji's 4.5 in speed correlate to this when Hidan's 3.5 clearly doesn't reffer to his movement speed
Furthermore hidan was constantly the aggressor in all their small skirmishes , which makes sense. Kakashi never ever attemped to blitz hidan and that too also makes sense given the circumstances , wasting chakra and stamina and takin the risk against a guy who is immortal who is backed by a guy who has five hearts would not be so wise my young padowon , instead he simply solo-countered their guerilla tactics with a kunai and ntn but reactions and reflexes and the one time kakashi was about to put the shoe on the other foot by goin after hidan who was busy running from shikas shadows , kakusu stands in his way , shadows which aren't even that fast compared to shinobi standards or feats p1 neji shown , its better used with stealth and/or assistance not actually chasing the target down.
furthermore can u prove kagemane is even faster than a propeled kunai

Even p1 neji should have the capability to pull wat hidan did wth kagemane , while having other targets too.

Next , hidan avoiding kagemane while dealing with asuma illustrated his reflexes/reaction in that fight , reactions which get elegantly pooed on when we have kid neji simultaneously avoiding dozens of targets by milliseconds while having to deal with dozens more simultaneously comin straight after the other and in bulks , and that's not taking it account all the extra targets

and that's scaled down to a genin kid neji.
I already addressed why kakashi/asuma had to fight hidan the way they did. Hidan is in the same league as them in cqc (4.5) , is immortal , has a scythe which he can easily control via rope , and is pretty fast himself (3.5) so hes about as dangerous as u can , especially when u take into account that shinobi don't carelessly use/abuse shunshin for obvious reasons , I think draegod made a thread about it.

And hidans stat in the db obviously pertains to movement speed , same as choji/neji/kakashi or anyone , take of it wat u will , not to mention u cant even prove hidan used shunshin itself in any of the scans u provided as easily as I can prove it was utilized here ,

Unless any seeminly fast paced movement is gonna be determined as shunshin now.
