The Shadow Flicker Technique is a secret clan jutsu created by Shikaki Nara, influenced by Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique and based on the Body Flicker Technique. It revolves around the use of the shadow around the user in order to "flicker" from one place to another through a shadow, as a medium. It differs from the typical Body Flicker Technique since it can happen without advance warning, though it requires the user to be completely enveloped within a body of shadow to use.
