I have seen a multitude of people claim that non-Rikudo Sasuke cannot use his ninjutsu through his Susano, claiming he hasn't shown it thus he cannot do it. However, how true is this? (lots of VIZ scans)
To understand this, one must first clear all misconceptions of Sasuke's Enton and Kagutsuchi that are apparent on the Base. For one, Sasuke cannot manipulate his Enton after it has lost contact with his chakra or body (must be within a very close proximity). This is indicated by his Enton always being in contact with either his
The last variable factor of the Enton manipulation is Kagutsuchi, Enton's Keitai Henka, or its shape transformation [
Hence, he didn't use Kagutsuchi, he manipulated the Tenktesu which have been confirmed to be present on Susano in the last chapter [
One can exemplify his own Enton with Obito and Shisui. How? Both of their right eyes were abilities which rooted from the body rather than the eye. Shisui could use his right eye's genjutsu without making eye contact [

or his own chakra [

]. Secondly, one must understand that Enton is a manifestation of the Flames themselves through his own body or chakra, not through his eyes, whereas Amateratsu is a spawn of flames to a given destination [

] utilising the Enton itself similarly to how a Sution: Suidanha utilises Suiton as its chakra nature. They can be used separately or collaboratively, hence one uses the Tenketsu around the Doryoku itself to spawn flames, whereas the other uses the Tenketsu of the wielder's body or chakra. Thus, Enton can very much be likened with Futon, Katon, Raiton, etc. as it is the chakra nature of Amateratsu itself, whereas Amateratsu is Enton's nature transformation. The last variable factor of the Enton manipulation is Kagutsuchi, Enton's Keitai Henka, or its shape transformation [

]. One thing to note is that every time Sasuke employs Kagutsuchi to manipulate flames, he doesn't require Amateratsu to ignite the flames initially. Amateratsu itself burns a target [

]. You cannot possibly Amateratsu something you are not looking at, as it only follows what the eye is gazing at. This would only go to verify that Sasuke can in fact utilise his Tenketsu proficiently since his MS stages, as his Susano, which is a manifestation of his own chakra, has had viable Tenktetsu since the very beginning, and has demonstrated its usage with them with a chakra nature separate of Enton in the previous chapter. All in all, it is pure fallacy to claim Sasuke cannot make use of the rest of his jutsu through the Susano itself, as he has utilised the Tenketsu around the Susano since MS. One can exemplify his own Enton with Obito and Shisui. How? Both of their right eyes were abilities which rooted from the body rather than the eye. Shisui could use his right eye's genjutsu without making eye contact [

] hence comparable to an advanced finger genjutsu, whereas Obito's right MS's ability allowed him to use his Kamui with his body as the source, contrasting his left eye's ability to spawn Kamui. Thus, Obito, Uchiha and Sasuke's right eyes employed lesser offensive capabilities made-up for by greater defensive capabilities that stemmed from the body, whereas Obito and Sasuke's left eyes allowed them to achieve an supreme offence but a lack of defence (to an extent).
