"The jet-black flames of the Amaterasu, said to be "the fires from hell", is also said that they are as hot as the sun, ignite at the focus of the user's vision".-Zetsu Chapter 390 pg 3

Very high praises were said about this technique comming from zetsu.

So lets analyze this statement to see if its any truth to this or not.


-The jet-black flames of the Amaterasu, said to be "the fires from hell" is also said that they are as hot as the sun
Cannot be proven so False until proven. And it is also hearsay in the bold. these sound like legend. All we do know is that it is the highest level of katon because it devours fire.


-ignite at the focus of the user's vision.

Fact. Amaterasu seems to ignite what ever the user looks at. the place where the flames spawn is indeed where the user focuses. even when the user shifts his focus the flames also follow suit.

So all we really know that can be proven is

is that its more deadly than Katon so Enton>Katon

It ignites what ever the user is focused on but can be evaded if the users focus shifts.

Misconception: Amaterasu doe not travel. sasuke's focus shifted on the samurai when raikage moved. The raikage moved at such a high rate of speed, sasuke was focused on his after imagte and realized he was looking at a samurai :hint:

As deadly as this technique sounds, is it really that dangerous to ninjas with intel on the technique? In regards to the scan above, Raikage had a slight amount of intel on the jutsu and managed to counter. With that said can amaterasu really harm a ninja over A rank with intel on the technique?

I mean MANY consider it a one shot S rank jutsu. But in my opinion its not that big for a ninja who knows how the jutsu works. Now this is just the standard Amaterasu. Not Sasuke's flame control. His Enton flame control is a different jutsu than Amaterasu in my opinion due to its usage. But what do you think? does amaterasu live up to its hype or not?

Honestly..it's over-hyped. It's been proven already that it isnt as good as people want to make it out to be.

It is said to be most op jutsu in NV, but nobody have been killed by it.

So it's kind of sad.

It's been proved almost worthless. Everybody say it's an one-shotting technique, yet has it ever proven that? Exactly.

You can have all the intel you want, but if you don't have the power/technique to avoid it...........You'll need more than one person to beat the technique.

Easily Repel it(rinnegan users)/Out run it (A,tobimaru, minato)/or substitution justu and hide underground (bee).

Obito just disperse it with his black balls, which happens to be another way of doing it

Amaterasu and Chidori are my fav jutsu. If that makes me look like a Sasuke a fan boy, then I accept that term.

But truth is, Amaterasu has been shown to be very strong, think about how it's been stopped once it's actually made contact with a target. Sasuke oro style subbed leaving behind the skin that got hit, should have been a k.o. Samurai got their armor removed. If it makes contact with the skin, well Raikage removed his arm.

It's not that it's op, it's that it's confined to it's own rules, "Whatever it touches".

Amaterasu in my eyes lives up to it's hype and is a very useful Jutsu with good utilization of it. The Jutsu is also a kill ninjutsu.

Not as good as fanboys would like to believe... It has as many weaknesses as any other jutsu despite how impressive it is
