It can't even be used without the right preparations or if you're just lucky enough to have the right weather -_-

No wonder he's only used it once

It's a Mountain buster tech with the striking speed of 1/1000 of a second...

Every high-level shit is overhyped in some ways. Except for Hiruzen's Neutralizer ofc.

No its not.
Its just that people keep citing it in conditions that karin can't possibly be used in.
It takes prep time.
If it has already been made then no,naruto doe not a stand a good chance of getting out of its way.
Though,since it does take prep time naruto would never get hit by it anyway.

All jutsu have their flaws.

It's super strong but when you need such prep you can't count on it as an argument

If you compare Kirin's prep time to other jutsu's that take prep time (Sage Mode, Konan's sea of paper tags, or half of Shikimaru's arsenal), Kirin's prep time isn't that bad at all.

All you need to do is heat up the atmosphere to create thunder clouds. Shoot some fire dragons into the air, sprinkle some enton/amaterasu in there and you're good to go.

Sasuke was weak vs Itachi but now he could pretty much spam fire style/enton.

Also, jutsus like this scale up in power just as the user does. So if current Sasuke, (or post-powerup sasuke) used Kirin, it's safe to assume the bolt of natural lightning would be much bigger this time.

The reason people hype Kirin so much is because it's a badass jutsu that uses natural energy, which is 1 weakness of Juubi form. And that's why it will be used soon. Either against Madara or the Juubi itself.

If Kirin's prep time is so detrimental, as you all claim it to be, then how did Sasuke land it on Itachi? Seems to me that the prep time made little difference in that fight.

Yeah it is hyped. Remember when he tried to use Kirin on Team Kakashi?
Orochimaru stopped him. Do you know why? Because that would have created a Plot Hole during Itachi vs Sasuke battle. Sasuke was about to pull a Kirin on a sunny day over Team Kakashi.

Heck yeah! Sasuke fans overrate the crap out of it. Did you know there was a thread about Hebi Sasuke+ another shinobi fighting Madara, and somebody even said Kirin would destroy PS?!

Seriously people, it's not that much stronger than Jiraya's sage art:massive ransengan.

The attack speed of Kirin is much greater
