i agree bro + rep



here we can see that itachi wanted to spawn amaterasu on sasuke but since sasuke dodged amaterasu flew forwards towards the trees....so we can presume that amaterasu is basically a very fast projectile(not instantly appearing on target but just going very fast towards it)

Well from when sasuke looked at A and A dodged it I thought it was obvious. It is just very fast at close to mid range.

If it was instant whatever sasuke looked at would be caught for example A.

For a lot of members it isn't. U_U

Yeah, I agree with you. The amaterasu is extremely fast, but not instant. Ninjas like A and Naruto can easily dodge it.

Of course it isn't. It is always shown to be projected from the user and manifesting at the location of the user's sight, and following that point until it hits something.

That would seem like the best explanation for it, the other being that Amaterasu does in fact travel from Sasuke's eye to his target, but at great speed, which would explain why you saw it "hitting" A before he dodged it.

But nice thread nevertheless.

That’s a presumptuous assessment Danzo, for in some cases, Amaterasu has been to be instantaneous. Notice the trajectory and velocity: Naruto was completely perplexed by Amaterasu, and given his speed in that condition; it’s possibly that anything less than instantaneous would have been observed by Naruto. Congruently, attend to the distance as well; Naruto is a mere spot in the panel, that distance can safely be concluded to be over fifteen meters. (Not my stance on the matter, but a potential argument).


I’m inclined to believe that there is a sensation Amaterasu gives off before casted. Nagato this sensation, which implies that it is able to be felt by sensory type persons. Like Kamui, I believe that to be the of Amaterasu. I suppose there’s a “feeling” that comes to the target before it erupts in flames. Nagato "felt" the technique was about to be used, and that feeling is probably immensely more intense at the target point. It also explains why Naruto only was able to react to Amaterasu after it erupted on the dog, whereas Ei dodged it. There could be some other cue, but I think that's how it works. No travel time, but some cue immediately before the activation of the technique (similar to the warping with Kamui).

Moreover; Ei probably noticed Sasuke’s line of sight was focusing on him, and moved out of it precisely when Amaterasu appeared at that “point.” However, attributable to Ei’s speed, Sasuke simply saw of where Ei was and not is; indicating that the Raikage left an afterimage or by-product of some sort.

I agreed, hardly anything is instant in Naruto.

i agree bro + rep

Nice solid example.

I knew this, and I also agree..

One instance on why this technique isn't instant is the timeframe in between when the user closes their eyes (to gather chakra) then opens their eyes to release the chakra (the eye bleeds) that isn't instant.

I thought this was too obvious to point out. :/

However there has been many instances where Amaterasu seemed more of a very fast projectile than an instant attack. Like when Killer B was able to attempt to guard against Amaterasu before he hit him and Danzo too tried to guard himself with his arm.


And when I said it's not instant people called me crazy... :rolleyes:

Maybe it is proof that the current NB is more tolerant to ideas. ;)
