Is the 3rd faster than his son no. who all has orochimaru rebirth jutsu two people even then sasuke can spam Amaterasu. Sasuke has shown Amaterasu is instant so has itachi.

Why do you talk about Sandaime Raikage? I wasn't talking about him, but even then. Nothing proves he can't avoid Amaterasu. Also on your pic you really believe that it touched Nagato in an instant? Look it carefully again and you will see that it travelled. When you see Amaterasu on the part where Nagato is about to get touched, it didn't touched Nagato at that moment. It touched him later. That shows it travels like i've said

Sir first of all u r theory are all wrong:flaw: ....its not kawarimi no jutsu besically u dont even know what that mens if u know u wondn't put this thread anyway .....

First Sasuke used oro tech to escape from amaterasu against itachi and its not ordinary tech which low lvl ninja can use ...and its not kawari or blab bla

secondly sasuske was cooking bee in amaterasu and its keep on burning slowly but luckily sasuke cut the tail of bee through which he escaped and not to mention its more like how even if u injure naruto can heal himself with tailed beast chakra .....

3rdly raikage is fastest alive with naruto soo u cant compare every ninja to him and finally in nagato recognized that itachi is gonna use amaterasu bcs of his ability not all people are nagato


U r taking example of unique and trying to make it universal but its not take example kakashi vs amaterasu what he has ??? no chance for escaping its instantanious even take danzo example ...


just it doent kill someone doent mean its weak .....U_U

First of all, you must know that i'm not discrediting Amaterasu when i make this thread. I'm only there to give my analysis about this jutsu that maybe people failed to notice.:)

I mean, i don't understand why Amaterasu is that overestimated when we're talking about a jutsu that didn't even killed "one" person in this manga apart maybe from fodders. Each times it was used, the opponent managed to dodge it. Not saying it was easy to do, but still:

- Sasuke manage to evade it a little bit, and when it touched him, he used kawarimi no jutsu from orochimaru
- When Killer-bee was touched, he also used kawarimi no jutsu to evade it.

These 2examples shows that even when you get touched by the flammes, it's not over at all. You can "simply" use kawarimi to escape from it.

- A managed to dodge it with his speed. That means also that speed is another method to escape from it, but no one is as fast as Raikage obviously except from Minato or Naruto and maybe some others we don't know.

- Killer-Bee has also shown recently that it was capable to attack the user before he uses it:

That shows that to use Amaterasu, there is a small preparation you need in order to concentrate a little bit before launching it. That's why experimented ninjas could notice it and prepare themselves to dodge it.

Amaterasu is an instant jutsu yes, but what people forget also to understand is that "it doesn't appear directly on the target you see" like people sometimes claim, but "it travels to reach this target". Zetsu said "it converges to a spot". Converge here means it lands to some point, so it travels. Even if it's fast obviously. And the scene with Raikage prove my point:

Look carefully at this pic. At the start we can see that Amaterasu is where the Raikage is. If it appeared, it would have touched him at that time, which is not the case. Then the Raikage see it approaching and thanks to his speed, he dodges it easily at the last moment.

What should also enter into consideration is that "when the Raikage dodged the attack", Amaterasu continued to travel and reach the samurai who was behind:

That again shows that "it travels" and "not appear" in the contrary of the popular belief.

You didn't say no name all you said was 3rd and he can't dodge Amaterasu. Amaterasu didnt travel to nagato on that pic you clearly see it was on him in a instant.

Actually the pic you showed with Nagato just shows that it took seconds to hit Nagato because it allowed Nagato to have a dialogue by saying "I see what you did.." and then finally it hit him. Look closely.

actually that 1 hit K.O is bs statement i ask some member to show where's the thread that stated "amaterasu>narutoverse" and he never reply he just making up stuff, or its just people with no brain who have the nerve to said that

but the thing is once you get hit by amaterasu is almost over for you, since you need to cut the part where that flame hit you(but what you gonna do if theflame hit your face or chest LOL, or you're nagato and can use shinra tensei to push the flame or get help from other people to remove/seal the flame,

Amaterasu is not instantaneous it is clearly stated that it will follow it's target until it is reached/consumed ergo it is not instantaneous.

Doesn't change the fact once itachi used Amaterasu the flames were already on Nagato

Well, like i've said it's not over at all since you can use kawarimi to escape from it(Bee did it, Sasuke also), but it's not easy obviously. It depends on how much you're skilled to do it.

Also i think that more you're far from the user of Amaterasu, more it will be easier for you to dodge it since you have much more time to see it coming. That's why Amaterasu is said to be a close range jutsu in the databook. It's much more efficient when you use it in close range like against Raikage also. Just take a look where Raikage was when he dodged it. He wasn't far from Sasuke at all:

It also doesnt change the fact that it takes seconds to travel in order to hit an opponent. U_U

Itachi says "Amaterasu" and then Nagato goes on to say "I see what you did.." and finally lands on Nagato on the left middle panel where it shows the black flames. So it therefore travels.

Ameterasu isn't a 1 hit k/o, but it's enough to become a one hit k/o. If the opponent knows nothing of ameterasu, he/she will be caught in it. Everyone expects 1 hit k/o's to be, hit, dead. Ameterasu slowly burns the opponent like it did with bee. If sasuke never cut his tenetacle, he couldn't have kawarimi'd into it. Or another example, when sasuke tried to hit A, but missed. He hit the samurai. Everyone goes, well he should've died? No he was wearing armor. The black flames are like regular flames. Except they aren't extinguishable(unless the user decides to make them go away like sasuke and karin). So the flames were burning into his METAL armor. The armor was cooking him alive. When kankuro pulled him out he was fine because he was only being burnt. :shrug:

An eternally burning instantaneous never missing flame would be the be all and end all of jutsu but it is obviously not that as many more 1337 nin would be dead right now if it was not to mention the moment madara got his ems the war between senju and uchiha would have been over before there even was a peace treaty.
