the only power kryptonians get when under the yellow sun is heat vision xray vision super breath flight and all the other nifty abilities the super strength is mainly because of being in a lower gravity than on there own planet

and again thats irreverent thay still disappear which isn't just a thematic element they are moving blindingly fast

notice how when we see the shinobi fight it appears they are simply jumping around in a small area like a 20 foot radious but then they show above and an explosion happens in area zone A and then 500 feet away in B another explosion happens yet no flashy laser beams etc etc just taijutsu this would indicate they are traversing an incredible distance in that fight To be honest, i have no clue what you're saying, or what your point is.

I don't think we can make any meaningful statements on their speeds based upon visual effects like the shadows. Like i said, they used Body Flicker indoors with closed doors and windows, it's clearly a visual gimmick intended to show that shinobi are fast. The shadow thing is a typical Ninja Culture thing. Hell, tons of things in naruto are based upon Ninja Culture, including handsigns, walking on water, the transformation technique, shadowclones, etc etc etc. and if we take this: 12*100*3= 3600 km/h, than add 700 km for one point of the map to the other: we are around 4300 -4500 km, this is still below half of the moons range :I I think this works better as an estimate, but estimates based upon speed are still not very accurate. We have no meaningful relations of size between things on the world map and in the naruto world itself. There simply is no sense of distance to check if our speed estimates are reasonable.

As a more general reply, 100km/h is not just blindingly fast, but if you ever watched someone in a convertible car, you'll notice the wind effects at speeds like that. Hell, at 50km/h you'd notice wind effects. I don't see how on one end there are assumptions that the shadow movement is an indication of real speed while on the other end complete lack of speed effects (Like: at 100km/h talking would not be possible, or better put, you couldn't hear the others) is completely ignored. I felt my 36-ish km/h was already pretty blitzing fast.
