If Sasuke's S/T is instant, how was Kakashi able to get to Sakura first?

[Blackwatch]

You see in the last panel of this page, Sasuke is activating his S/T jutsu (

Yet here, Kakashi made it all the way over and scooped up Sakura (

Does this prove the quote in my sig wrong?

 

[riley freeman]

maybe he saw the susanoo and stopped??

 

[ChocolateVanilla]

The post in your sig isn't even possible you don't need to prove it wrong.
But Sasuke's ST is faster than Kakashi, it just requires prep.

 

[Angelic.]

maybe he was having second thoughts? ehhhhhh...fine ill save her.

 

[EternalFlame]

Because Kishi wants to make Sasuke look bad.

 

[LuckyMan]

No one knows if its instant yet. It was never said to be instantaneous like FTG is. While it does appear to be in fact instant, we know well things are not always what they seem in Naruto so we need more information on it. Instant means no time passes by the way too.

 

[CloyEscapade]

He has to activate it

 

[AlphaScythian]

You overlook the exclamation mark when sasuke charges s/t.
It indicates that he saw what's going on and stopped?

 

[The Work]

He was going to wait for Sakura to be killed and was going to tell Naruto "I couldn't get her in time."

 

[Styles]

​Derp he stopped because he saw Kakashi Sasuke's S/ T is always instant.

 

[Migster257]

Simple. Lord Kakashi moves even faster than instant.

 

[XY iNVeRSe]

The tech itself is instant, the chakra build up however isn't.

He was going to wait for Sakura to be killed and was going to tell Naruto "I couldn't get her in time."

I lol'd. Aha this ^^

Sasuke wasn't in the right position to use it. For one, he was out of range because there was nothing he could replace himself with, and two it would have been suicide to begin with because he wouldn't have been able to get out if way even if he got to Sakura.

Activation time, in Sci-Fi when spaceships are about to activate hyperspace mode they are preempted by enemy fire causing their hyperdrives to malfunction, stopping their escape.

Look at the exclamation mark:

He saw Kakashi before using it.

​You do know he can teleport Sakura to him right he doesn't need to swap himself or with something .

 

[CloyEscapade]

I don't like the exclamation point argument. Naruto went straight to surprise... Sauce when hmmm let me think about it... Oh crap what's that? If he had time than it's not instant.

 

[Im Still Robin]

Typical idiot...he has a superior eye obviously with sharingan he could see it coming, but with this eye it possibly increased. He was shocked at the susanoo and didn't use it. If he uses it then he'll be there instantly he activates it, that's how instant it is. EDIT: Your sig quote is wrong anyways...there's no such thing as speed with this jutsu.

 

[ShiroT]

He was going to wait for Sakura to be killed and was going to tell Naruto "I couldn't get her in time."

this is believable, but im sure narujesus wouldve saved her some how
