Speech and thoughts in Naruto don't exactly follow logical rules. Many time we've seen people talk in stead of actually fighting, or thinking before defending. It's not an argument for anything.

Although, in a sense, maybe they do follow the regular rules. If you're fast like we've seen ninja be fast, their thoughts and reflexes need to be equally fast (in fact, i'd say they need to be faster). Logically, the speed of thought in the Naruto verse ought to be orders of magnitude about how fast regular humans think.

Similar rules apply to speech (if you've ever tried addressing a large room of people without a microphone, you'd know the talking in Naruto is completely unrealistic), as Naruto and Obito can talk across hundreds of meters without shouting apparently. Naruto and Sasuke can stand atop several dozen meter tall statues in full wind and yet speak normally.
