Okay,first of all i am not degrading these 2 techs in the least,they are among the top techs of naruto and are nearly unavoidable.
AMATERASU.
Speculations have been place on amaterasu,whether it is truly instant or not,as well as it's burning capacity. However,it isnt an instant technique,i'l give my reasons
1) speed: obviously,ama is one of the fastest jutsus in naruto,but it is not instant.
People seem to think that once the user looks at someone,that person is instantly on fire,not true,the raikage was able to dodge one at near point blank range,and people would say that he simply moved out of sasuke's eyesight,but he never dodged until sasuke had ALREADY shot the flames out,if it was instant,then no matter how fast you run,you wont escape,being instant>being fast. In order to dodge the flames,he had to SEE it first,then dodge,if it appeared intantyl,he wuld never have seen it to dodge it. The flames also kept on travellng,even after it missed the raikage and hit a samurai,if the flames appeared instantly,it would not have been travelling as it would only ignite the raikage and the space around him,itachi's flames were also travelling as well,sasuke could actually see the flames chasing him,but wasnt fast enough,however since itachi's eye was near blindness,the flames may not have been as potent as they should be.however,when he missed sasuke,the flames he first shot continued moving until they hit the trees and started burning,and as tree is wood,which is a fuel,it spread rapidly.
Now,lets see what is actually an instant tech,FTG.
Minato vs A: now,minato's ftg is instant,and is faster than A at full speed,A charged at minato,had his fist in minato's face basically a few milimeteres away,and minato managed to use ftg to dodge him completely,ftg is an instant tech,and as we have seen,is quite above the raikage's speed limit.minato was seen in several places a once,and able to beat a battalin in a moment,THAT is instant.
Ama vs ftg: comparing ama to ftg now,ft is an instant tecnique,ama was said to be unavoidable,except by some shinobi,no shinobi is faster than ftg,infact,naruto's bm speed which easily pisged back 5 tbb's,was still thought by kakashi to be similar to minato's ftg,but minato's ftg allowed him to be as if he was at several places at once,due to the negligible time taken by using it,if km naruto is faster than A,and A is faster than amaterasu,while ftg is comparable and even above bm naruto's speed,then in no way is amaterasu instantaneous,as the shinobi's i have stated above could dodge it,and they arent instant movers.
Amaterasu is said to be short ranged because of the speed it takes to come out,as it is nearly unavoidable by 99% of the naruto verse,however,it is still very fast at long ranges,as seen with sasuke and killer b,just not as unavoidable,it's like an arrow,shoot it out at first,it goes at extreme speed,after a distance,it begins to slow,giving far way shinobi's with good reflexes(kakashi,guy etc) time to react.
SPEED AND INTENSITY OF AMATERASU.
Now while i am clearing some things up,there are other things which people say that are'nt correct
1) Ama might not be completely instant,but in no way,are shinobi's like kakashi or guy(in base),3rd raikage,sm naruto/j-man etc,be able to dodge a direct ama attack from sasuke,maybe from itachi,but only bcos of his eyes being bad and his sickness,they might be able to sense it(sages),but that dosent mean their bodies can react,jiraiya noticed asure behind him,but couldnt react fast enough b4 he chopped his arms off,naruto in sm can't dodge the flames if it is faced at him,3rd raikage isnt fast enough,neither is kakashi,even with kamui,he cant sense the flames coming,he isnt fast enough to see and then dodge it or guy without at least 5-7 gates. The only way these shinobi will avoid it,is if they are a good distance away,however if they are close,then no way will they avoid it,their clothes might help,but that is only if the flames are left alone,as i will say in the next point.
Ama burns slowly when left alone,and if left on something that isnt combustable,if the user continously focuses his vison however,it wont burn slowly at all. Itachi instantly burnt away sasuke's fireball as his eyesight was constantly kept on,he instantly brnt through the walls of the frog,as his eyes were kept on,sasuke engulfed a bijuu in seconds with ama,as he constantly kept his eyes on the bijuu. Sasuke didnt keep his eyes on karin,or the samurai at the summit,therefore the fires burnt slowly,further proving my point. The intensity depends on the concentration,if you keep your eyes fixed at it,the flames will burn fast,if you dont,they will surn slow. So,the clothes of the above shinobi wnt help them if his eyes stay fixed.
I hope this made sense,for all who overestimate and underestimate the speed and intensity of amaterasu. What do you think?
