Just as much as you all have the right to glorify Sasuke because of AMATERASU... I also have the same right to /facepalm Sasuke because of AMATERASU.

AMATERASU... it is not special in my eyes. It is not the BE ALL, END ALL of a fight... you can DODGE it (with speed), and you can put it out (with sand) and you can take off your armor and VOILA! done!.

Seriously, itachi, madara, gai, samurai, raikage, gaara's sand jutsu and other jutsu/abilities have been proven to make amaterasu do little or NO damage.

So, rant on, because just as much as you all can say "AMATERASU OMG WTF LULZ PWN" I will say "It sucks."

c'est fini.
OMFG THIS GUY REALLY DID JUST SAY AMATERASU IS LAME !!!! HOLY EFF
:flaw::flaw::flaw::flaw::flaw::flaw::eek::flaw::flaw:O.O:flaw::flaw::flaw:

ok im done slapping your azz now lemme explain why your mostly wrong

1sand does not put it out clown only the eye that cast it can!!
garras sand just burned if you watched the manga it didnt stop !

Raikage is the dumbest character ever he didnt stop it he lost his damn arm
and would have died if garra didnt stop thin about what your saying dude

Prepare to be flamed.
And it's not useless. Sasuke's just retarded.
Agreed 100% During his Mangekko (SP) Sharingan stage he sucked! Needed help for everything, while abusing Amateratsu (in cool ways) and Susano'o. He was saved countless times, against Bee and 5 kage. He was done for both times. Anyways, bottom line is that he sucks. Too much arrogance maybe. Others are too powerful. He'll hopefully use Amaterasu to it's full use when he is more powerful that the opponent. The jutsu is only as strong as the caster.

Amaterasu>--hachibi, raikage's hand and jiraiya's frog belly. Able to burn anything to ash, unable to be extinguish, the shape is able to be manipulated, and is also able to act as a shield around the users body. Thus amaterasu is capable of pawning all. Therefore if There's nothing special about the tech in your eyes, then something is cleary wrong with your vision.

Is he serious. Ameaterasu defeated the eight tails, it burns off the raikage arm and he could have died. it can burn people alive. The sand dosent put out the ametarsu it just blocked it. The ameatarsu is the strongest fire technique and it can kill anyone if not carefully. The ameaterasu is not lame its one of the best justu out there.

I see where you are coming from.. So far we have seen Amaterasu can be doged by Raikage's Shushin no jutsu, Orochimaru's hydra replacement technique and being blocked by Gaara's sand. Those three are the only ways to counter Amaterasu for a NON-SHARINGAN user in real time... Danzo's Izanagi and Kakashi's kamui both use sharingan..

Having said that even if Raikage dodged it, Sasuke used Amaterasu for attack as well as defence and Raikage stupidly attacked and lost his arm.. this shows it is sort of a S-Rank technique... Samurai's wear protection but Amaterasu can still burn them and Kankuro's chakra threads only took of the protective gear of the Samurai... had the fire burnt a little longer the Samurai would have been toast.

So basically you can seal Amaterasu like Jiraiya did or remove it off someones clothing if it hasn't touched their skin like Kankuro did, BUT ONLY after the fire has been cast. But in a real time fight these techniques won't come in handy against Amaterasu.

In essence as you become aware of a technique ninja's usually develop ways of countering it, espicially great ones. Jiraiya didn't seem to know about Amaterasu and it looks like Raikage and his colleagues did some research on the technique and most likely found a way to counter it. Darui and the other guy seem to know about Itachi's Amaterasu skills during Sasuke's fight with Raikage. In short the more a tecnique is exposed the more likely it is that it can be countered unless we talk about the 4th's FTGT.

His vision is just how it's aimed he doesn't actually have to see it. He could just aim it at the smokescreen intending for it to move on through.

And asides from that its a Sharingan. A smokescreen wouldn't be all that effective.

But Sasuke would find a way to f it up.
The jet-black flames of the Amaterasu, said to be the fires from hell that are as hot as the sun, ignite at the focus of the user's vision.[4]

The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see the flow of chakra. The Sharingan can tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular.
The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognize genjutsu and different forms of chakra, though not to the same extent as the Byakugan. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements[3] or mimic something like pencil movements.[4] As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe seals, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user. However, even though the user may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not have time to react.

The Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to memorize any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other kekkei genkai techniques. The user can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with near perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own, or even modify them to create their own new techniques, much like Sasuke Uchiha's Lion Combo. In order to reproduce a copied jutsu, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them. A prime example is Rock Lee's brand of taijutsu. While Sasuke was able to copy some of Lee's moves, they put a much more significant strain on him since he hasn't trained nearly as much as Lee has. In addition to physical skill and kekkei genkai techniques, the Sharingan cannot reproduce jutsu dependent on other factors, such as summons that the user has not signed a contract with.

The Sharingan's final commonly-used ability is capable of inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact.[5][6] More advanced Sharingan users can take the hypnosis ability even further to the point where a powerful summon like Manda or even the Nine-Tailed Fox may be controlled. When this was used against Manda and the Nine-Tailed Fox their eyes took on the tomoe pattern of the users' Sharingan while under hypnotic influence.

The hypnotic ability coupled with the other aspects of the Sharingan, can make the user appear as if they can "see the future". First, the user must perfectly mimic every move their opponent makes and possibly their thoughts and words through careful observation. Then, they suggest an action to the opponent such as hand seals for a jutsu that the opponent and Sharingan user already know and copy that. With these things done, the user can complete the action even before the opponent does, possibly using the Sharingan's genjutsu to confuse or delay them. As with other genjutsu, genjutsu cast by the Sharingan are capable of putting an opponent to sleep, inducing paralysis, replaying memories to someone else, or creating various illusions to deceive someone. The potency of the Sharingan's illusion is dependent on the user's knowledge and skill with implementing genjutsu.

In addition to these commonly used techniques, the Sharingan allows the user to perform the genjutsu Izanagi. Using Izanagi, the user can warp reality for a short amount of time, changing reality into illusion and illusion into reality. However, this technique has been dubbed kinjutsu, because use of it causes the user to go blind in the eye that performed Izanagi.

Although the Sharingan consumes the user's chakra while active, the chakra levels that the user must exert is so insignificant that they can keep it active constantly. In fact, Itachi Uchiha was so masterful of it, he was able to keep it active for most of the time, only once deactivating it after using Tsukuyomi on Sasuke and Amaterasu to escape Jiraiya. However, when a Sharingan is transplanted to a non-Uchiha, the chakra drain is significant, leading them to cover it up when not in use, to stop the drain.

Look at Kakashi's battle with Zabusa and the annoying mist. =\
Smoke screen still wins.

Very nice replies. Good discussion.

I agree with people saying it is one of the best fire spells... but I still stand firm with my belief that it is not something to be in awe about.

And to those that say Gaara's sand does not put it out... Go read the manga... if you make me source it for you then shame on you.

Amaterasu "defeated" the Eight-Tails?

Then what is Bee doing right now. He sure as hell hasn't been sealed yet.

Raikage intentionally hit the technique with his hand. Which of course, was dumb because if you hit ANY technique it's supposed to hurt.

Gaara on the other hand, blocked it. He didn't smother the flames, but he doesn't have to rebottle that portion of sand when he can simply make more. Karin survived it for about 10 seconds before Sasuke put the flames out.

It'd be like me punching a brick and expecting nothing.

Amaterasu is a GREAT technique. But people act like it's the ultimate ace in the hole.

Amateratsu can be use as an offensive and defensive jutsu. raikage couldn't stop amateratsu. its that he took the pain and didn't think before attacking sasuke. Amateratsu isn't that strong but it is useful. judging you are just a sasuke hater end of story.
