It's perhaps the strongest non kekkei genkai/tota nature transformation. Either it or Kirin

Kirin would've fried Itachi if Itachi didn't activate Susanoo it time

Please don't talk about Kamui, Double Kamui >>>> any other jutsu is NV (except Kaguya's own version of Kamui)

I agree with Chibaku Tensei

I think you misunderstood his point.

I will just copy paste this from the other thread

It is overrated, its just like any other one S rank technique who can which "can" kill but there are equally strong/stronger ninjas who have the methods of countering

The number of ways it can be countered are

1) Blocking the line of sight
2) Absorption
3) Shedding the affected body part
4) Speed
5) Clone feint
6) Going long range
7) Sealing
8) Deflecting the flames from the body
9) Attacking during the charging

etc etc

and there is a long list of people who have one or more of these abilities, or can execute one or more of these tactics

I guess Naruto's lava rasen-shuriken is weak because it didn't kill anyone, or chibaku tensei, or perfect susanoo, or kirin.

Totally legit because obv. Yoton RS was spammed all the time in the manga and only cut a weak structure like the Shinju

My point is, you can't say a jutsu is weak just because it didn't kill anyone.

Ameratsu would be powerful, if it wasnt so easy to counter. Seems just a thin layer of cloth is enough.

Amaterasu isn't that powerful, not for strong opponents at least. It's better suited for support..
