Clones and substitution jutsu can counter Amaterasu. In the case of A and probably Kabuto, they can perhaps predict and dodge.

How wouldn't it incinerate them? Are they fire-proof?

They can't die so they can't be incinerated, if they are incinerated they would die which goes against the fact that they can't die. They may feel pain but they won't die.

...So why can't they die again? It looked like that Bee clone was getting burned pretty good until Sasuke stopped it.

They are just chakra monsters, and it was stated in a chapter that Bijuu don't die. Also that's because that was a Jinchuuriki getting burnt, not the Bijuu itself.

Hm. So why was Kurama concerned about Naruto's life in Part 1 if Naruto dying wouldn't have killed him?

How does range matter when it spawns on the point of the users vision?

It doesnt spawn on the point of the users vision. It just seems that way when in close range because it has always been portrayed as such when it was used in CQC.

When hitting targets from a distance it actually shows the flame traveling before hitting the target. The unsuspecting target is usually not fast enough to move out of the way or does not know about the ability in order to counter it.

Zetsu states that it spawns where the users vision is focused.



Converges right where A was standing but he avoided it before it finished forming.


Since when was Amaterasu shown to travel?

Kishimoto changed his mind about Bijuu dying since in Part 2 its been mentioned they don't die. Remember,. Kushina said the Kyuubi would respawn if she died with it inside her.

Yea, it forms around the area where the eye is focusing, but travels to reach its destination.

There are many cases where it has been shown traveling, at long distances. I cant be bothered to pull them up right now though.

amatrasu hardly can hit who move(itachi hardly hit sasuke who was move only)
amatrasu is short range in narutobase's jutsus
amatrasu take time to burn its victim
there are shinobi can counter it
but all ranges kamui is op strongest attack and all character would die with it
it si all ranges
it can hit fast object(susano's arrow)
it doesn't take time but instant (even who has sharingan can't note)
no one can counter it

Itachi wasn't trying to kill Sasuke. So your point is invalid.
Itachi used amaterasu on Cerberus and burned into nothing in seconds.
And well its just narutobase that lists it short range. Doesn't mean its true but if you can show otherwise then I'll change my mind.
Obito can counter kamui
If someones fast enough like minato, naruto, and Raikage then they wont get caught. As long as they can stay out of sight then they'll be fine.
You're right on the other points though.

Just basically one shot just about everyone? Sure there are like 5 or 6 exceptions, but most characters are finished if hit by that.

So, I'm saying here, Amaterasu is potentially more OP than Mokuton.

Yep.
the user can stop the fire if they wanted to

minato,naruto,A can't counter kamui
kakashi can warp thins in no time(even who has sharingan can't note) so they won't feel to use their speed
obito has kamui so he can counter it(only one) (the same dimension)
kakashi is kamui is fastesat attack
it is nearly impossible to stay out of sight
these people can counter amatrasu
these people can get ride of it(counter) even after it catch them
1.obito(intangible,warping it,teleporting)
2.kakashi(warp it,going to the other dimensio)
3.nagato(push it with shinra tensi)
4.kabuto,oro(their special kuarami)
5.minato(ftg)
these people can block it or avoid it if they start the fight in special cases(inside their defenses)
1.sasuke,madara,itachi(inside susano)
2.gara,his father,third kazagage(inside their sands)
3.bee,naruto(inside hatchibi and kuarma)
but
when A avoided it he just expected it and move before it appear but if he didn't expected it he can't avoid it and naruto with his speed as him[/QUOTE]
itachi didn't want to kill sasuke but he wanted to hit him with amatrasu and the evidence is that he went on trying hit him (he already hit him)
amatrasu can be expected as the eye bleed as sign for it before the appearance of it(as A and gara did) but kamui hasn't sign

Against bijuus like hachibi,amaterasu fries them,though they would eventually reform. Against ninjas,only a few can handle it from cloe-mid range.

However,amaterasu travels from the eye to the focus point,so someone with good reflexes could put something infront,or dodge it.
Hence only minato,naruto,A,gaara,3rd/4th kazekages(maybe),tobi(izanagi) mybe more could handle it. It's really a deadly jutsu
