Amaterasu: 100% Useless Against Any Competent Shinobi

[BasedRikudo]

Heavenly Rotation, which works in a similar fashion to Almighty Push, would be capable of stopping Amaterasu or other fire jutsus. It's not clear exactly how Amaterasu behaves. It has been depicted numerous times behaving as both a projectile and a 'manifest' type attack. Further - It is not clear what can or cannot stop it. However, going by the fact that Ay was able to dodge it, this shows it's a projectile.

The Byakugan grants it's user the ability to read and detect it's surroundings much faster than a regular eye, which would make it much easier to spot Amaterasu or Blaze release techniques coming. Heavenly Rotation forms a high-speed dome of chakra around the user, and protects them from all angles.

It is also not clear what insights the Byakugan may be able to provide in regards to the structure of Amaterasu, which may allow them to manipulate it far more readily than others who lack such abilities (as the Byakugan provides far more insight than the Sharingan). Even seeing the buildup of chakra in the eye could be enough for them to devise a way to counter.

Neji is capable of seeing Deidara's chakra build up here.

As well as Kidomaru's.

And here is what Nagato says when Itachi is about to use Amaterasu.

Nagato' statement "This pressure!" Seems to indicate that there is chakra being built up behind the eye, so it's not much of a stretch to say that the Byakugan could very well see the attack incoming. This ability basically allows for them to see what attck their opponent is about to use and plan their counter against it, as all nin & genjutsu requires chakra to perform.

Nope you're implying all this based on your belief that heavenly rotation is even in the same stratosphere at almighty push while heavenly rotation is a fodder part one technique and would get shat on by amaterasu. Also your scans are of characters building up a lot of chakra while amaterasu is instant there is no way any of the hyuuga have the speed to counter in time even if heavenly rotation would work

actually thanks to byakugan a hyuuga would no its coming, also rotation would work full body blow probably would too. If rotation is a fodder tech(something oly 2 have been seen doing) than fodder tech>amaterasu #stophatin

Things don't get nerfed in a story, and its not PNJ its called plot. It's a static story, not a living world where Kish is a manipulating reality.

Same can be said for kamui as well

The list of techniques which can counter amaterasu and the ninjas who have shown the techniques

Preta path- Madara, Nagato
Shinra tensei- Nagato
B rank fire seal- Jiraiya
Oral Rebirth- Orochimaru, Kabuto
Speed- Minato, Naruto, Tobirama, Ay
Substitution- Killer Bee
Changing bodies- Sasori
Kamui- Obito, Kakashi
Izanagi- Danzo, Obito

Apart from this there are various other ways also such as blinding or disrupting the vision of the amaterasu user

Smoke bombs- Fukasaku, SM Naruto, Kakashi
Dust Cloud- Shima, Madara
Mist- Mei Terumi, Second Mizukage
Invisibility- Muu
Sand/Gold constructs- Gaara, Gaara's father
Vanishing Chameleon- Nagato

And yet another counter is clones, since the sharingan cannot distinguish between clones and the real one, it provides a good counter since the user will not know who to hit and end up wasting his chakra

Shadow Clones- Naruto, Kakashi, Minato, Hiruzen, Tobirama, Jiraiya
Water clones- Kisame
Clay Clones- Deidara
Rock Clones- Oonoki
Wood clones- Hashirama
Sand Clones- Gaara

And Finally the last counter is attacking the user before he is finished up charging for amaterasu, Killer bee would have hit itachi with his sword if it werent for Nagato using shinra tensei to deflect it, So ninjas who have fast attacks can again fight back

I may have forgotten some but amaterasu sure is useless against competent shinobi

those counters could apply to many things
