Dear god, so many misconceptions. First of all, let me clear up few things about Amaterasu through this post:

- Black Flames will burn on the point wherever the eye is focused - Which means it isn't a projectile.

The only reason the flame hit the Samurai, is because it went beyond the point-of-focus. As Amatersau works on line of sight, then the Flame automatically hit the next target in Sasuke’s field of vision. This can be proven through this link: Amatersu goes wherever the eye goes:

- This is the main reason why flames you following Sasuke during his fight with Itachi, as the flames after 'focus' is complete, follow wherever the user directs his eyes.
Further scans to disprove this projectile claim:

Flame hitting the Target in Sasuke’s line of sight:

(Shee: It ignites wherever he is looking at) as Amaterasu goes wherever the eye goes:

, or it follows line-of-sight logic.
Amatersau penetrated the defenses of a tailed beast that are nothing but living Manifestations of Chakra. It even eats through flames which are basically made out of chakra.
Amaterasu is not easily dodged as it took A a fully charged body armour:

and body flicker:

(See A leaving a flickering image of himself?) to barely dodge the technique by a hair. Henceforth, this easily avoidable claim is obviously false.
Not to mention Danzo saw it coming – see above scans – along with A:

- Shee: Counter it with body-flicker - and but he got burnt to crisp and had to use Izanagi to escape death.
Obito also used Izanagi to escape the Jutsu, otherwise his clothes would have been effected. Shinra Tensai isn't a counter for Amaterasu, as it blows the flames off whilst they are still burning. In fact, Nagato never saw it coming, nor did he react to it:

. He was burning and literally died here:

- and only regenerated because he was an Edo. Just look at his body's condition. If this is avoidance, then I laugh at anyone who says that Shinra Tensai is somehow a solution.
Gaara did not block Amaterasu. This can be proven through these links:

- Gaara attacks Sasuke
You must be registered for see links
- Sasuke guarding himself with an Enton against Gaara.
Sasuke never attacked Gaara in the first place, and hence only created a projectile out of the present flames over his Susano'o - easily visible in the second link - to guard himself. No 'eye focus' took place here at all.
The fact remains, that Amaterasu is nearly impossible to avid, and once it hits, the opponent is done for, especially if he/she takes a focused Amaterasu as I proved. It was implied by Sasuke that his Kirin can be aligned with Amaterasu as far as speed is concerned:

- Amatersu almost as fast as Kirin.
