[Theory] Kirin will be Sasuke's weapon of choice against Juubito

[Rikudou Sennin balls]

This was a good theory. With Amaterasu in the air he could use an infinite number of Karins. Since Karin isn't made of chakra it can't be absorbed or cancelled out. It's pure lighting pulled by Sasuke's chakra.

Thanks.

I doubt he'll be able to use an infinite number of kirins, but yah, Enton/Amaterasu will be the key to using it I agree.

Mangapanda released the chapter and also have Sasuke's line of dialogue translated as "Only Natural Energy can counter Natural Energy". This potentially paves the way for this theory being correct.

Was just about to post this here Lol

Agreed though, Sasuke is always analyzing information during a battle and if he's anything in this fight like he has been in literally every other single fight, then he's making a plan around it, and Kirin is the closest we know to Sasuke possibly utilizing Nature Chakra.

He doesn't seem like he knows what Nature Chakra is exactly, so we know we're not going to see a random Sasuke Sage Mode. I think we're guaranteed to see Amaterasu made Kirin again, or at the very least least Kishi just opened the option for his writing.

OT: Just a random thought, but since Susanoo supposed to be a Shinto God of Storms, it would be interesting and fitting if Sasuke's Susanoo could wield the Kirin Nature Chakra like a weapon/sword, so that Kirin isn't a One-Use ability, if we do see it against Obito.

The end part of your post would be very interesting if it turned out to be true. I remember a poster who theorized that Sasuke would have a power-up in the same vain (expect used through his potential Perfect Susanoo).

Hmmm, perhaps it is something worth theorizing. His Susanoo can wield large amounts of Amaterasu in various forms, perhaps it can wield a large amount of Nature Energy? Perhaps even the secret to unlocking Perfect Susanoo is through infusion of Nature Energy with one's own Susanoo Chakra, akin to Sage Mode's Power?

Sasuke possibly understanding Nature Energy in the next few chapters opens up a ton of possibilities it seems Lol

Kirin is ninjutsu.

When I saw that panel I immediately thought of this thread good job op.

 

[Handsome Jack]

U really think that kirin can take Obito

 

[The ProphecY]

This is possible... Good thread

 

[BlacLord™]

I doubt it will do anything. If it can't harm Itachi's Susano'o, what will it do to Obito?

It broke Itachi's Susano'o, just barely saving him by taking the impact, which lead him to re-activate it.

OT: It is Ninjutsu but ninjutsu doesn't mean Chakra Techniques, just Ninja Techniques.

 

[fandum]

I don't think that Kirin is going to make a difference on the battlefield unless they can distract Obito from defending against it. I'm sure that Obito knows the technique and will know to look out for it as it does take a while to prepare. Even if Kirin is able to harm him (natural energy) he can still block the attack.

Naruto just caught him off guard as far as we know at this point.

I do however think that it's a good theory and a more probable way for Sasuke to get back in the fight.

 

[Thorium]

If Juubito can sense chakra building up in Sasuke's left eye and dodge Amaterasu, wouldn't he be able to do the same for lightning?

Even though the lightning isn't chakra, I agree that he'll be able to sense it, but I think they'll think of a strategy to make it work (this battle has been all about strategy).

Nice thread, may still happen if Madara becomes Juubi Jin.
