Amaterasu

User(s): Uchiha Itachi
Rank: -
TNG: Ninjutsu (Bloodline Limit)
Range: Close
Type: Attack

Description:
"The ones reflected in these eyes turn to ash!! A black world-destroying
conflagration that scorches all on heaven and earth!!"

The Uchiha clan, originally significant as "those with the fans which manipulate
fire", traditionally specialize in Katon jutsu, but there is a legendary jutsu
unknown outside the clan. This is "Amaterasu". The appearance of these flames
are jet-black. The high temperature is like the sun, and one time touching it is
the last. It is said that this is named after the Goddess of the Sun as it
continues to burn for seven days and seven nights. However, the Mangekyou
Sharingan is necessary to activate this jutsu, and for this reason there are not
many who have learned this jutsu. Therefore, the details of this jutsu are yet
unrevealed...

Picture text:
Top: The black flames that only the owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan can control
are even able to instantly break through the side of a rock toad who breathes
fire!!
Bottom: Jiraiya, whi has mastered many jutsu, did not know of the existence of
Amaterasu. What he does understand is the power of the suspicious conflagration.

Tell that to the forest he accidentally burnt down.

The data book can't be trusted, since against sasuke his ama was kinda mid to long range.

So?????????????????????????

 

[Chie]

You don't have to do damage control for Kakashi lol. We still think he's awesome and it doesn't matter that he cannot use kamui that well if his target is more than 10m away. He's still a good character. U_U

ot: It's stated that amaterasu spawns on the target as long as the MS user is looking at them. Therefore amaterasu will go as far as the user can see. It can be long range or short range, Itachi's choice.

 

[Conspirator.]

The databook is shit/outdated and cannot be trusted at all.

 

[End of Days]

Tell that to the forest he accidentally burnt down.

he was actually aiming for sasuke and amaterasu spread after the initial spawning, that only validates kakashi's statement that they cannot aim accurately with poor vision

how funny, same itachi fans can be seen spamming totsuka and yata mirror databook pages every thread and now the databook is not trust worthy?

btw i only used databook as a supplementary argument, the main ones are the manga statements and showings

the databook has never been trustworthy.

Or perhaps he didn't want to entirely engulf Sasuke w/ amaterasu and only wanted to hit Sasuke w/ just enough that he would be pushed to his limit and Orochimaru would be released?

Itachi's fans probably use the databook pages on Totsuka and Yata because nothing in the manga has discredited what is on those pages in the databook. The databook is trustworthy until proven otherwise considering it is formulated by Kishimoto. What you posted doesn't prove that Amaterasu cannot be long-range if the user wants it to be. It can be either, as far as the user can see and even w/ Itachi's poor vision in that fight he still trailed it directly behind Sasuke and it spawned quite a distance away. In fact for some reason, nothing about Itachi in the databook has been discredited by the manga and most likely will not be considering that he's dead. However, it can be proven otherwise for other characters that are still alive, because the story continues to develop and Kishimoto does change his mind. And I'm both a Kakashi and Itachi fan saying this. U_U

Nice Thread.

 

[Behemoth55]

According to the databook the close range is about one to five meters. Even the distance between Sasuke and Itachi wasn't five meters, but more. The same goes for the flames that have burned down the forest.
It's good to use the databook, but Amaterasu isn't a close range jutsu. That information is from the scripts of Tō and it declares only the basic conditions of Itachis Amaterasu in {part 1}, nothing more.

The data book is only untrustworthy when something happens later in the Manga to contradict what was 'known' or 'believed' by the characters in the story at the time it was released. For example, at the time the data book would have claimed that the masked man is Uchiha Madara, because that is what was believed at the time given the facts before them. But later, it was revealed that he wasn't Madara, but Madara's pawn/apprentice/subordinate/partner.




Same with Hiruzen, it became clear when Kabuto said that people didn't acknowledge Hashirama's power because it was too amazing to be real, so they wrote it off as a fantasy, that's why Hiruzen became the God of Shinobi, not because he was the God Of Shinobi, but because the real God Of Shinobi's power was too OP for people to believe in it.




Special Note: People, Kakashi included, also thought the sage himself was a myth.





It's the same with Susano'o. Black Zetsu said that it required Amateresu and Tsukiyomi. But Sasuke, when he awakened it, only said that you need to awaken mangyeko in both eyes as a prerequisite. And proved it coz he never used Tsukiyomi (Lets face the facts here, he would his own words from his mouth, and the fact that he never uttered the words 'Tsukiyomi', but instead the words 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' when he uses MS Genjutsu is proof enough that he doesn't have Tsukiyomi. And if that wasn't clear enough, another character, C or Shee or whatever his name is, said that one of Sasuke's eyes had amateresu and the other's power was to manipulate the amateresu.)





Any, point made, Data Book's information is not realiable, only the LAST data book will be, because right now the manga hasn't released enough facts for a perfectly accurate data book to be made.

Kishimoto is horrible at scaling. Recall that Gamabunta is the same size as Shukaku and 100% Kurama.

Amaterasu's distance is 5 meters.

 

[Champ]

Nah, when he Amaterasu Nagato dog it was long range

 

[TRE MERCER]

No Amaterasu has been used a mid range multiple times.

 

[End of Days]

Nah, when he Amaterasu Nagato dog it was long range

a giant dog is a huge and an easy target compared to a human at long range, thats why itachi's aim doesnt need to be accurate, the chances of missing the dog are extremely less compared to a human on who amaterasu is guaranteed not to land
