Personally, I believe Amaterasu was nerfed for plot. Imagine how many people would have been neg had Amaterasu been unnerfed? Nerferasu already good enough feats, but still..

Literally, Kishi had to make Ninjas immune to Ninjutsu because Amaterasu was so OP. Kaguya was even scared Amaterasu.

it wasn't nerfed more like plot restricted.

it was restricted by plot when itachi didn't one shot sasuke as soon as he walked into the hideout or hell even one shot asuma, kurenai and kakashi.

was plot restricted so sasuke couldn't finish the raikage.

against bee i feel like it wasn't restricted bee just figured out a way to get away from it. cost him a tail so id say thats pretty fair.

One of the few times Amaterasu wasn't nerfed, tbh. It's just funny how once Sasuke get Amaterasu, everyone(Well.. mainly just top tiers) got a counter to it.

Thats when it was most powerful are you insane!?

What I meant by Amaterasu being nerfed in that fight was his usage of Amaterasu. He had golden opportunities to use it before it got to the part where his neck was broken.

@ Solo, it's also kind of embarrassing how a V1 Shroud Naruto is able to tank Amaterasu which was the same technique that got Bee in his full transformation.

That's just Kishi's writing skills.

Naruto afraid of Amaterasu, then negs Amaterasu. Uses Sage of Six Paths modes to block a regular Fire Ball Jutsu.. :|

Raikage tank Amaterasu like it nothing, and everyone else hit KO'ed on impact. The Juubi who tanked even his own Juubidama, screams in pain from Amaterasu.

I don't think so. People don't understand the difference between focus and unfocused flames. Any residual flame becomes unfocused and burns slowly. Any focused one instantly burns through. This is more evident through these examples:

Focus and unfocused Amaterasu I keep talking about is the real deal. Itachi's works the same way. Look at the frog stomach:

Only the part where Itachi "focused" the flames is burned through. The rest where the flames flew off to or were left behind are burning "slowly" as I keep repeatedly stating. This seals the deal as to "why" Karin and the Samurai were not burned, as Sasuke never focused the flames on them.

Also, this:

Apparently, Hachibi lost a "couple" of Tentacles to Amaterasu.

Then we have the pointless plot helping people:

-Raikage dodges behind the flame. Why? Sasuke's line of sight has taken a hit for that time only.
-Naruto tosses it away (albeit it ate through that chakra). Why? Sasuke's eye power is weakened. He can't focus.

Why the hell would itachi want to kill sasuke? have you missed the part were he was faking to be a vilain?
The same goes to kakashi kurenai and asuma, itachi never wanted to kill them and was gaara shielding between sasuke and the raikage plot restricted!? that makes no damn sense...

nice job of taking the translation out of context...kaguya was not scared of amaterasu at ALL...she simply thought that going to the ice dimension was a bad idea because sasuke had amaterasu to burn thru it like before.

are you forgetting that kaguya took amaterasu right to the face and absorbed it?????????
