and if you can see your enemy's movement with sharingan, then you shouldnt have any trouble aiming for critical areas

although that just got me thinking......interesting how its designed for avoiding counters, yet kakashi didnt see haku getting in the way at the last second....maybe the mist was in the way, there was still mist at the time, right?
if you would look at episode 18 , at exactly 11:00 ,
you'd see haku used one of his ice mirrors
