Shunpo was a high-speed movement technique mostly used for getting from point A to point B. But what about attacking? There was no reason, I believed, that the Shunpo couldn’t be used involving the arms in order to increase the speed of a strike, or the eyes to perceive faster objects.

Passively, somehow, I was managing to do this. Either Uryu’s attacks were really that slow, or I was just getting better at using Shunpo. Why not both? When an arrow threatened to decapitate me, I found myself ducking right into the path of another barrage of blue death.
