If the point of this thread is to settle the issue with blitzing or reactions between the two verses, Bleach curbs hard since low tiers because of the pressure/perception effect of reiatsu, but lightning speed is quite abnormally fast for shunpo and I'd expect only shunpo, sonido or hirenkyaku masters can move that quickly and even beyond. Yoruichi, Soi Fon, Zommari, Shunsui, Byakuya, Tenjiro, Starrk, Ichibei, Ichigo and Aizen are those definitely beyond lighting speed. Many others but those are the notably proficient high-speed technique users.
Many mistakes the 'this character blitzed this one' scenario and says it's a result of speed when it's not, or people keep referencing the speed of Gin's bankai and uses that as a measuring stick for reaction and speed. Kubo seems to have a thing for precise details and as such, the 'outlier' term must not be used so casually without closer inspection. The Negacion from the gillians was one of the clues to understanding the speed aspect of Bleach. Naruto characters can easily react to low tier shinigami and gillians along with low adjuchas and will find blitzing them more difficult the closer they get to low adjuchas. Beyond that point is where reiatsu is so high that it affects other souls and they may not be able to react to them at that level. They'll also find find that they CANNOT get a clean tag from a single attack as the pressure of their reiatsu slows them down. The higher the pressure goes the more intense the effect and it will reach a point where movement is impossible, then a little beyond that is soul annihilation.
Note well, Bleach characters can deal with light speed combat since SS arc lieutenants, the level of the pressure affecting range. Any speed LS and below can be dealt with by SS arc lieutenants as long as they don't posses that soul affecting pressure which begins at their level.
Naruto has quite decent speed with Bleach having decent speed aswell, actually comparable when you get to the top tiers, but bleach has more speedsters, but in a battle, even Bleach characters below mach 1 will be running circles around god tier Naruto speedsters.
