Shisui, using the Body Flicker Technique, moves around at high speed, creating several afterimages. With his agility, he can move between his afterimages and deliver attacks from each of them, with each attack having mass behind them as he is currently 'in' the afterimage. If attacked, he simply moves out of the way, allowing his opponent's attack to harmlessly slip through one of his afterimages.

Hachiman is able to employ this technique with simple raw speed instead of through the Body Flicker Technique, essentially making his version of this technique purely a taijutsu maneuver.

In the continuity of Diaries of the Hidden Waterfall, Shisui Uchiha was the only shinobi who could use this technique until Boruto Uzumaki "discovered" the technique on his own while performing accelerated training to master the use of his Kāma, drawing on his inherent mastery of the Body Flicker Technique and the massive physical enhancement brought about by the Kāma. Keika Uzumaki also eventually mastered this technique by copying her brother.
