Amaterasu's weakness and Ways to counter it.
Amaterasu is the highest level Fire Release technique, and according to Zetsu, the strongest ninjutsu of Itachi's eyes. 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. Though the flames have been stated to be unavoidable, Amaterasu has been avoided a few times; A using his Lightning Release Armour enhanced Body Flicker Technique avoided a short-range Amaterasu launched at him by Sasuke in an instant.
WEAKNESS
The only thing that the flames have failed to burn into or through is Gaara's chakra-infused sand. However, the flames burn fairly slowly, sometimes allowing anyone struck by Amaterasu an opportunity to remove whatever clothing or body parts have been caught ablaze. Nagato was able to deflect the flames from his body using Shinra Tensei. Use of the technique also puts a great deal of strain on the user, usually causing their eyes to bleed.
1. Amaterasu in One Dimensional
2. It burns fairly slow
Ways to counter
1. Since Amaterasu in one dimensional, all a shinobi would do is to put a obstacle that would block the caster's sight towards its target.
2. fast enough speed and moving side wards, this greatly diminishes the chance of the caster to hit its target.
Basic types of NinJutsu that can block the sight of the caster towards its target
Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall
Earth Release: Shadow Clone
Water Release: Water Clone
