1.) Samehada vs Katon techniques.
First off, I'd like to clarify that many seem to be convinced that Samehada is somehow unable to absorb Katon techniques. This is a falsity as it

, many people believe that due to this slide -

that Samehada is now somehow unable or incapable in absorbing it. This is simply untrue, is the heat produced by a Katon technique is enough to have a negative effect on Samehada? Sure, but it is still altogether capable of absorbing Katon techniques regardless.
People give that slide far too much credit, it is the intense heat produced by the Katon itself that has such an adverse effect; not to mention the fact that

with no permenant damage.
2.) Samehada's regenerative capabilities.
Samehada and it's wielder are capable of joining together in
symbiosis - Similar to the relationship between the Aburame clan and their insects: The

mutual sharing of chakra between the two; through this,

Now, given that Samehada is a
living being, that it's the
instigator of the healing technique, adding to that the fact Kisame and Samehada shared their Chakra so much the their

The Thread's premise: Countering Amaterasu
First off, I'd like to clarify that; although it's a very powerful technique (Merely because of it's longevity.) it's actually short term lethality is actually not very significant, inferior to Katon techniques in fact. As demonstrated in the following slides.

- Slow burning, allowing Sasuke to shed his skin.

- This is a prime example of the slow burning rate of Amaterasu; take notice how in over six manga pages, it hasn't even burned through a Land of Iron Samurai's armor.

- Raikage is a similar example, notice how he's not only unfazed by it, but also unaffected physically - Look at his skin.

- This is more of a nod at how inferior it's burning capabilities are, this is more proof that it's not as "Hot as the sun" as the chemical change into glass would've occurred almost instantly.

This is a big one, notice that after
seven pages only a small potion of his arm is affected.

- This is more of a two in one, the slow effects on both Karin and Bee.
Even if Amaterasu were to make contact whoever posses Samehada, due to its close proximity to Samehada, it is actually able to

, with both having more than enough Chakra reserves in order to bump it up to size.
In conclusion, I believe that I have displayed enough proof to convince you all of Samehada's counter to Amaterasu; via listing the negative aspects of Amaterasu itself.
If all else fails, I believe that a full Samehada fusion would more than suffice if the previous attempt was unsuccessful in some form.

(If would be interesting what would happen to Bee if he fused.)
Not to mention that Kisame's water dome passively absorbs Chakra (For Kisame.)
