Amaterasu isn't a projectile when it first summoned. It instantly appears at the point where the eye focuses. If the focus is changed is changed then the fire goes to the new focus.

At Maunten: Amaterasu is said to be instant. Sasuke used the arrow against Kabuto because he wasn't trying to kill him. He knew Kabuto could survivie the arrow and not Ama

Sasuke has blaze release, Kabuto would have survived it.

"Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance."

The people who quickly move to face palm on this thread, are the ones who have not checked, double checked and triple checked.

this is what the databook says

Body Flicker Technique (瞬身の術, Shunshin no Jutsu)
Ninjutsu, D-rank, Supplementary
Users: Gaara, Hatake Kakashi, et al

A movement technique with extreme speed like a gust of wind!!

Appearing along with the wind, disappearing like the wind: the ninja's instantaneous movement technique. This super fast movement is almost impossible to grasp with the naked eye. If seen by an ordinary person, it would seem as if the user has teleported... In reality, the user has vitalized his body with chakra and moved at super speeds. The amount of chakra used up differs depending on the distance and elevation of their stopping point in comparison to the starting point.

Mine is from DB 3.

Looks like a retcon to seperate slower Shinobi from faster ones. faster shinobi.

And? that doesn't take away from the fact that Ama is instantaneous. If Sasuke covered Kabuto's entire body in flames, he wouldn't survive.

Databook 3? i checked and DB 3 has no info on body flicker tech only DB 1 does
So where did you get your info on body flicker?

Its obviously plot, if Sakura and Kakashi died who would Naruto have left? Why hasent Madara killed the Kages? Cause of plot.

Wrong, you can't jump to the conclusion that gamabunta was being used by someone else

Not only is that in no way supported in the manga, but naruto did not even try a summoning... Nor is the case that anyone else alive other than naruto/jiraya being able to summon gamabunta supported

You can't claim plot no jutsu for one thing and dismiss it for the other...


After naruto summoned gamabunta, and he realized he's the son of the fourth etc, after his fight with shukaku, gama has respect for naruto, and that is far from a useless reason


Can you prove to me sasuke had enough chakra to use amaterasu? He held up susanno for a few seconds and it dropped, what part of that = to having enough for one of his strongest ninjutsu attacks?

lol even if Gama was being used by someone else

1) Naruto would not be aware of it

2) Naruto would still be able to summon him

@ OP you ask too many questions. You will only cause yourself headaches if you question everything that goes on in life

Because of plot-no-jutsu. It's simple as that. No need of making this thread.

What's the point in making any thread on this forum then? It was all plot-no-jutsu right? Dumb excuse made up to avoid obvious facts. Good evidence and argument against the OP though.

Amaterasu takes prep, bleeding eye, there's like 3 sec delay before the black flames finally appear on the target. Sasuke dodged Itachi's Amaterasu by constantly moving when they're fighting.

Susano'o arrow doesn't have casting time and it's so fast. Danzou admitted that he couldn't dodge it.

Kabuto could dodge the arrow because of super perception or whatever shit. Amaterasu wouldn't hit Kabuto (Sage Mode).

Plot no jutsu, it makes Sasuke use arrows instead of black flames.

Sasuke was almost blind at the point that he could have burned them up, and he didn't have enough chakra to sustain ms.

Naruto is a fictional story... you can't constrain it to any parameters of our world. For god's sake, they run without pumping their arms clearly regular physics don't apply. There are like two conclusions you can draw. amaterasu is fast. the arrow is fast. their speed is only relative to the strength of all the characters anyways. if we had seen the earlier in the manga, the fastest character at that point would probably be able to dodge it, and a few others. saying he wrote the manga and had him use this jutsu instead of another holds zero weight. the only logic you can hold to the manga is that one, people arent gonna die until the author wants them to, and that he probably wouldnt end a battle that was important by having the person taken down in like one panel with amaterasu. its simply illogical to create a thread like this. everything about it is speculation. think about it. theoretically, the fastest characters could be moving at like ten miles an hour, but everyone else is just so slow. the manga doesnt follow real physics... talking about speed is basically pointless, any characer will be as fast as kishi wants.

I don't think it's instant, during itachi and sasuke battle it showed its hi shoot it out and floating there fast but not instantly, it can be dodged

That right there is the most truthful and the most logical answer i have ever seen on this website. WEll said
The answer For both scenarios is because kishi wanted to use a susanoo arrow.... and kishi did not want to kill kakashi there...

Actually you have made a very good point. Yes, it would seem Susano's arrow is his fastest move.

His eyes were in no shape to use Amaterasu, wasn't it obvious?!
