Instantaneous Movement Technique

Uchiha Cheng was thrilled to have mastered the Body Flicker Technique so easily; he had never expected learning ninjutsu to be this simple. It only required performing the hand seals in the correct sequence while channeling chakra to release the technique with ease.

Seeing Uchiha Cheng getting a bit carried away, Uchiha Mika hurriedly cautioned him, "A-Cheng, the study of ninjutsu is never something that happens overnight. Although you can perform the techniques now, you are still far behind in terms of completion, release speed, and proficiency. Remember, there is no end to learning!"

Uchiha Cheng understood the warning in his mother's words. Having been an adult in his past life, he naturally understood her good intentions. "Mom, I know all of that, and I will continue to practice these techniques. But look, since I learned these so quickly, can I learn some new ones?"

Uchiha Mika pondered for a moment. Originally, she had only intended to teach Uchiha Cheng how to refine chakra. She hadn't expected Uchiha Cheng's learning speed to far exceed that of an ordinary person, forcing her to bring out the Body Flicker Technique, which she hadn't planned on teaching yet. She never imagined that even the Body Flicker Technique wouldn't be enough.

Since that was the case... "There is indeed a new ninjutsu suitable for you to learn right now. If you can master this one quickly as well, I will allow you to choose one ninjutsu you like to learn."

Uchiha Cheng was overjoyed. "What ninjutsu is that?"

"The next technique I am going to teach you is—the Body Flicker Technique."

"The Body Flicker Technique? Isn't that a space-time ninjutsu? Can I really learn such a high-difficulty technique at my current level?"

Mika helplessly rubbed her son's head. "You child, where do you get all these messy bits of ninjutsu knowledge? And they're all wrong, to boot."

Uchiha Cheng was speechless; these bits of knowledge were all guesses he had made based on the manga he read in his past life. If there were errors, he could only blame Masashi Kishimoto.

Mika began to explain the various theoretical aspects of the Body Flicker Technique, correcting some of Uchiha Cheng's misconceptions.

The Body Flicker Technique generally refers to a category of ninjutsu; any technique that can achieve a flickering effect is considered a Body Flicker Technique, which, of course, includes space-time Body Flicker techniques.

However, not all Body Flicker techniques are space-time ninjutsu, and space-time variants are extremely difficult to learn and highly precious, leaving ordinary ninja with almost no chance to encounter them.

The Body Flicker Technique spoken of by ordinary ninja is merely a D-rank technique that involves concentrating chakra at the soles of the feet and releasing it in an instant to achieve extremely high movement speeds.

Because the speed and direction of movement are controlled through the explosive release of chakra, even the slightest variation can cause a huge difference, making it very difficult to control precisely.

Skilled ninja can achieve extremely high speeds and precise movement through incredibly refined chakra control, sometimes even rivaling space-time ninjutsu.

However, ordinary ninja generally only use the Body Flicker Technique for travel—that is, the technique used to leap between trees.

Normally, even a ninja who has completed cellular activation can only jump two or three meters high at most. But with the assistance of the Body Flicker Technique, leaping over ten meters is a trivial matter.

Therefore, the Body Flicker Technique is also one of the mandatory techniques in the Ninja Academy. A ninja who has mastered it can easily cover a hundred meters in three or four seconds, reach running speeds of over a hundred kilometers per hour, and do so with very little physical exertion.

"That is why, only after mastering the Body Flicker Technique does a ninja truly possess the ability to engage in cross-border combat," Uchiha Mika concluded.
