amaterasu isnt instant (explanaition)

[Derek1st]

I am going to use some simple logic to show how amatersu is not instant.

The common misconception:

Amatersu appears where the caster is looking (it does not move)

Here is how I disprove it: there is a page in the manga (if someone can find it i'd appreciate it) with 2 panels depicting the raikage seemingly dodging amaterasu. In the first panel, the raikage is standing with amaterasu being formed in front of him. The next panel shows the raikage shifted to the left and the amaterasu has caught a samurai behind him ablaze.

Using simple logic, we can see two things have happened. 1) since the flames are visible in the first panel, the jutsu has clearly been cast. And 2) the flames did not set the raikage on fire.

We know that amaterasu flames will not extinguish once it touched something. If the raikage was not set on fire so the flames were clearly not yet at there final destination, yet we can see that the jutsu has been cast. That means that the flames were between the raikage and sasuke and TRAVELED to there final location on the samurai.

I know that this was repetitive and pain-staking, but some people do not grasp this concept, so I wanted it to be explicitly clear each step of the way

If Amatarasu was instant, A would not have been able to avoid it case solved.

 

[Ōkami]

while i already know this i have to say you need to find the panels yourself this is your theory people shouldn't do the work for you

If Amatarasu was instant, A would not have been able to avoid it case solved.

All that is needed to be said.

2 fast for 99% of narutoverse so its instant

 

[The Necromancer]

This has been said by much better debaters already.

It's still fast as f*ck. I think its as fast as the eye can see. Therefor, raikage moves faster than the eye can see.

Therefor, the Raikage will whoop anyone's ass before they can see it comming.

Naruto is faster than Raikage. Therefor, Naruto should be able to whoop anyone's ass before they even think about seeing it comming.. (if Kishi wanted him to end fights that fast haha)

[UchihaInza]

The only reason I didn't include the panels myself was because my laptop broke and I am on a mobile device. Its really hard to do that on a mobile debice
