Now the title of this post will no doubt create much controversy, but what i am talking about is the ability to remain undetected whilst in the heat of battle or training. To disappear infact does not necessarilly mean exploding in a puff of smoke but more understanding timing and distance to make onself invisible using ninpo Taijutsu. Perhaps a better way to explain this is to be able to understand universal energy and to react to the subconcious rather than the conscious thought which gives rise to the physical manifestation of movement. Moving in this space allows you to move undetected - to evade or to get to a more strategic position.
Only after years of training in this way can the student arrive at the understanding of this concept. It's not as easy as you think, though training on the development of the intuitve senses will help to achieve this understanding. This allows you to employ hidden methods using weapons or your body.
It is interesting to watch the students perpective on this and at first many will stumble from one angle to another using only physical movement - putting themselves in further danger from the opponent, instead of flowing seemlessly using natural intuitive movement.
