Body Flicker Technique

Certain space–time ninjutsu are sometimes confused with the Body Flicker Technique, as it creates the illusion of the user instantly moving from one place to another. However, whereas space–time ninjutsu actually transport the user through space, this technique is merely high-speed movement. Despite this, the Flying Thunder God Technique is regularly mistaken for "Body Flicker Technique" by various individuals, including the technique's creator, due to targets not seen to be tagged for the "Flying Thunder God Technique".
** Further confusion exists in some translations of the series. In Viz's English translations, the Body Flicker Technique is called "Teleportation", whereas space–time ninjutsu are generally referred to as "Transportation Techniques".

The Body Flicker Technique is similar to Swift Release, a kekkei genkai that allows the user to move at high speeds.
