Do you think Amaterasu was nerfed?

He already had Enton on his rib cage. What are you talking about? Amaterasu isn't a projectile. Is was never a projectile. It has never been shown as being one.

It is chasing Itachi's eye sight. Once cast, it can be made to chase the gaze.
Im showing you how Amaterasu functions. Itachi was trying tk carefully burn Sasuke and was shooting Amaterasu out in the forest. I literally just posted the pic dude. Amaterasu is not instant. It never was.

Itachi never shot it into the forest. It spawns within his line of sight. Because those trees were in his line of the sight, the flames spread to them as well.
Dont you see Amaterasu "shooting" from the top of the tower. Is everyone blind to hiw Ama actually works

Amaterasu isn't a projectile when it's "cast." It has always, and I mean always, without fail, appeared on the point of focus. What you are showing me are scans when Amaterasu has already been cast.

Amaterasu is instant. Nothing in the manga shows otherwise, as it has ZERO travel time. It doesn't have to move. It merely converges.

When the user looks at a target, Amaterasu is spawned onto the area of that target. In the event that the target is fast enough to move out of the way, the flames still spawn in the area, or on another target if the movement of the initial target causes the focus to change. For example, Sasuke was focusing on the Raikage. When the Raikage moved, there was a samurai behind him in the same line of sight the Raikage was in. Because he was in the same line of sight, Sasuke's focus shifted from the Raikage to the Samurai.

The flames don't form, and then LAUNCH at the target, they form ON the target if they aren't fast enough to move out of the way before the flames manifest.

Once the flames manifest, the user can sustain focus to increase the volume of the flames to spread them to nearby objects/targets/areas by shifting their line of sight while maintaining focus. When Itachi used it on Sasuke, Itachi continued to produce the flames, and they jumped from the initial mass of flames onto the trees behind Sasuke because they were also in his line of sight. As Itachi moved his head, the flames moved in that direction, spreading from the initial ball of Amaterasu.

I concur. But explain how Garra blocks it then. And how Ama looks like a shooting fireball.

That is Enton from his Susano'o. It was already there, molded as spikes earlier to spear through Raikage's body. He simply threw them at Gaara to push him into a defensive stance. It was never Amaterasu, meaning, it was never cast on Gaara's sand.

I get you and I found that Sasuke had a fireball over his head most likely to shoot bursts from it.

Probably means it puts alot of strain the eyes to focus the original way. When he uses Kaguysuchi his eyes dont bleed.

Yes, I pointed towards it in my posts above as well. He already has a fire ball on the ribcage. He simply threw it at Gaara, Temari and Kankaro.

And yes, Amaterasu puts a lot of strain on the eyes in MS. Both Itachi and Sasuke were shown to be in immense pain after casting it.

It shot at the Samurai behind him. Raikage dodge Amaterasu. He wasnt hit so he dodged it, its right there. Nothing blocking his sight either. Raikage is faster than the Mangekyou could follow thats why Sasuje surrounded himself with it. Its common knowledge.

This all happens in less than a second by the way.

Heres Garra catching Amaterasu. Because Amaterasu shoots out. If it converged Garra wouldnt be able to catch it at all.

Even when Sasuke hit Killer Bee he focused on the tentacle coming at him not the entire body. The flames then raged on.
That's enton on the second scan it doesn't shoot out because he's throwing/manipulating already existing flames.

Though Amaterasu does spawn instantly on the target. That scan Raikage just moved from Sasuke's line of sight to fast and Sasuke's attention drifted leaving amaterasu to just "go"
