Considering the Raikage had ample time to attempt another attack, be blocked, decide not to continue AND hold a short conversation with Gaara before he cut away his arm, I am very much convinced of it. There was no noticeable spread of the black fire, even after all that.You must be registered for see links-> Considering how fast Amaterasu burns... I doubt it.
I was wondering when my posts would be answered by either yourself or Strict, but I suppose your bursts of "self-convenience" are as good an explanation as I'm going to get.I love it how my counters are completely ignored for self-convenience. The Sanins lose. Please get over it.
Obviously I never have, as I think Senjutsu techniques are on a different level to ones that aren't, since they include nature chakra and all. I apologize for my grievous error and will atone by reading through the series three times backwards.
Is that Sage Mode Naruto? Silly me, since his eyes are normal I foolishly assumed he wasn't, but he obviously IS.
Mei targeted Susano'o directly, while the Goemon targets EVERYTHING. Boiling oil is a VERY dangerous thing if you are directly hit (it can reach around 300C) and if Sasuke is submerged for even an instant he'll die in agony if he doesn't recieve help. The battlefield has a great deal to say as to the effectiveness of this tech, as a bowl type arena and Sasuke being in the center of it (which he may not realize is a bad idea) would be ideal.
Even if Jiraiya can't use Goemon, the Yomi Numa can be used to great effect even without Sage Mode or a terrain advantage.
Senninmode takes a while, but summoning the Elder Toads is an entirely different thing. If Toad Song is landed the fight ends, and Jiraiya isn't directly involved in the process at all. He is protected by Sage Mode from the effects, true, but he'll gladly accept temporary paralysis at the cost of victory, and the Fukasaku and Shima might be able to direct it well enough that it only targets Sasuke, and in any case Oro and Tsunade are probably uneffected. Even if they are the toads can slit Sasukes throat themselves. If the Sannin can protect the two of them for as long as it takes them to find a harmony, the battle is won.
Yes, but the hawk is never completely covered or safe, and when has (Shippuden) Sasuke ever shown concern for a fighting partner?
In my honest opinion the Sannin can EASILY take down any summon, partially Susano'o covered or not. It's bottom half is completely open, dammit!
I am refuting your blatantly wrong statements that Sasuke is completely impervious to ANYTHING the Sannin can do.
EDIT: It appears I was mistaken, Goemon is apparently not at actual boiling oil temperatures but at THOUSANDS OF DEGREES. Which means it VAPORIZES people in stead of boiling them and is, in fact, capable of melting Susano'o on its own. Since it's AT LEAST TWICE AS HOT AS LAVA.
Lava has a temperature of at most 1200 C, and since Goemon has been stated in the Databook to have the immense temperatures of AT LEAST TWICE THAT, Susano'o is reduced to a puddle in seconds.
Orochimaru made Sasuke immune to every possible poison except his own? That's not biologically possible OR medically feasible with the knowledge shown by ANYONE in the Narutoverse (it might not ever be achieved even in the real world). Orochimaru has NO chance to make Sasuke as toxic-proof as you suggest without EXTENSIVE bodily reconstruction (take a look at Oro HIMSELF), which has obviously not been shown.
I'll grant that Oro has granted Sasuke a high resistance to many common toxins, but Oro's poison is confirmed effective, and Myobokuzan tongue-secretion is NOT something Oro EVER had access to. He's not immune.
So, your hypothesis is that Susano'o is a completely impenetrable barrier for microscopic particles.
Logically, that means air doesn't penetrate. I give Sasuke five minutes at most before suffocating. There's no manga evidence he won't and if he removes Susano'o he'll be vastly impaired or even defeated by the toxins.
You are quite simply wrong. EMS grants resistance only to ocular genjutsu, as well as making sure even powerful genjutsu which still allow the eyes to function zare a bad idea.
That's not the case with the Toad Song.
Here's Sasuke and Itachi still being able to move while under Kabuto's genjutsu:
They are cringing from the effects, it's obvious they still have mobility.You must be registered for see images
Kabuto even states that "It's obvious I'm the only one who can freely move."
That's not the case with the Toad Song:
The Paths are only able to talk within the dimensional pocket (or whatever it is, it reminds me a bit of Tsukuyomi), even though their controlling mind is fully clear, which won't be the case with Sasuke.You must be registered for see images
The ONLY action the Paths were capable of:
were a soft groan, which was more than likely an involuntary reaction to getting that stone sword shoved through the lungs.You must be registered for see images
Toad Song trumps Kabuto's genjutsu with ease. It makes sense, as it requires both two sages working together AND prep time to cast.
You have been severely underrating it. EMS does NOT grant earmuffs.
Amaterasu doesn't spread quickly. Has it ever shown any tendency towards that?
And Jiraiya could seal the flames if SOMEONE ELSE was caught in them. At least.
So, because the Acid Mist was corroding it and not melting it, Susano'o is UNMELTABLE?
That's not logical or even reasonable.
It's hard to say if Susano'o is ever in DIRECT contact with Amaterasu, and NO Susano'o has ever been covered in the flames for a prolonged periods. Do you disagree that Amaterasu can even HARM Susano'o?
You must be registered for see images
Amaterasu isn't even remotely connected to the manifested Susano'o. Could there be a reason for that? Also, the only confirmed targets ever hit by Enton are Zetsu Clones [AT CLOSE RANGE] and A, who did it to himself. It's perfectly possible the Sannin can dodge Enton at least.
Sasuke certainly can't DIRECTLY target the outside of Susano'o with Amaterasu unless it's in ribcage form (bad idea). Having to use Enton to cover the construct means that Tsunade landing a solid punch is at least POSSIBLE.
How can he cover a hawk large enough for him to stand on if he can't even cover his own bottom half?
You're not seriously stating that Sasuke covers THIS with Susano'o?You must be registered for see images
Taking to the skies opens up the field and increases his mobility by a large amount, but it also opens up a whole new range of problems. The hawk is not invulnerable. As such, fall damage and crashlanding positions are a valid concern. Whether the Sannin can prepare a warm welcome once he reaches the ground is also more than likely:

Jiraiya, as seen here, is capable of crossing a fair amount of distance AND forming a Senjutsu: Giant Rasengan before his sandal, which fell off in the previous panel, even hits the ground. That's not a soft landing, and the Rasengan actually blocks Jiraiya ENTIRELY from Sasuke's field of vision. Which is not a bad tactic at all. Sasuke may even attempt Amaterasu on the Rasengan (he has a history of tactically unsound decisions when faced with the spinning orb), which might actually end the match right there. Amaterasengan seems like a powerful technique to me.
Just a few notes before I begin. Many of your links are not operational. And I know you aren't new to this forum, it was sarcasm directed toward your use of argumentation.@Tazzilla88. Here are my counters for all your points. I am not new to debates, and even as I post links and counters you'll come up with more things, ignoring what I post. But i'll bite regardless.
Jariya:
Your fight point is wrong on two levels: One, that is an incomplete sussano, and secondly, Danzo broke through a very small portion of an 'incomplete Sussano' with Baku's Suction and his wind Vacuum Blade rush, whose power was greatly increased because of Baku's suction.You must be registered for see links.You must be registered for see linksand Sasuke stabilized it, and gave danzo a punch before he could do anything.You must be registered for see links.
It's to be noted here that even at incomplete level, Sussano provides a much better defense than Gaara's:You must be registered for see links
Thirdly, Sussano is not a physical but a manifestation of Chakra. There is nothing to suggest that it weight several tons when it's not a physical object at all. How would the hawk feel weight of spiritual energy? A debatable issue, isn't it?
Now for the step by step counters:
A: To fight the sanins, Sasuke will go immediately into Sussano mode, so this needle attack is virtually useless against a level 4, complete sussano:You must be registered for see links. Gaara couldn't scratch an incomplete Sussano with three jounins by his side, there is no way such a slight attack would even make Sasuke sneeze:
You must be registered for see links- Sasuke taking on Gaara and three other ninjas.
You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
B: Amatersu eats through flames:You must be registered for see links. An effective wall or Kagatsuchi around his sussano will render any flame attack useless:You must be registered for see linksorYou must be registered for see links. Sussano, surrounded by a wall of Amatersu or Kagatsuchi will render any fire technique useless, that much is certain.
C: Swamp of the underworld uses two hand seals, and thus is far too slow for Amatersu and arrows, because both of them are quite instant:
Amatersu: A was fully anticipating the attack:You must be registered for see links, and look at this carefully:You must be registered for see links- The flames appear EXACTLY at that very instant and point where Sasuke wanted them. A was only able to dodge - as Shee pointed out - with his lightening release armour and Body flicker, and he BARELY did so. Had he not used both techniques, he would've been burnt to a crisp.
Why is it instant? It's so because of the following points:
You must be registered for see links- Black Flames will burn on the point wherever the eye is focused.
You must be registered for see links- Amatersu almost as fast as Kirin.
Amatersu goes wherever the eye goes:You must be registered for see links.
So it's safe to assume that Sasuke woun't just stand there like an idiot and let him use his hand-seals for swamp.
B: Arrows:
- To take advantage of the seals, he can use arrows as well, which were so fast that Danzo only dodge it with Izanagi as there was no time to form any seal at all:You must be registered for see linksandYou must be registered for see links. And Kakashi had to use Kamui:You must be registered for see linksandYou must be registered for see links.
C: Summons:
These can be taken out easily with one well-placed Amatersu flame, as they are very big targets or Magatama can also do the trick:
Amatersu: Sasuke using Amatersu on Hachibi and the flames almost instantly spread:You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
Magatama:You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
These summons won't pose any threat to Sasuke whatsoever. But will only heat up the atmosphere as Sasuke can create countless enton projectiles with Magatama, posing instant threat to the sanins. They'll be complete fools to even attempt a summon, as this'll only create an advantageous situation for Sasuke to create Kirin readily:
Sasuke used up all chakra for that jutsu alone:You must be registered for see links
It was used to manipulate the rising air current and create the rain cloud:You must be registered for see links
He took advantage of Amatersu heat as well :You must be registered for see links
Here, he'll only have to use enough Amatersu Magatamas to create one.
D: Water: It's useless against Amatersu.
- The Sanin mode requires forever to initiate in case of Jiraya. Sasuke is not letting him get into it. During its transition, the only one who is a sitting duck, is Jiriya. Sasuke can take him out easily if he attempts to go into it with arrows, Amatersu, senbon, and magatama. Doemon is again a sage mode technique. He'll have to get into it first, and even if he does, one wall of Amatersu will render any fire technique completely useless as I mentioned above.
- Shadow clones are useless against Sasuke as EMS can detect mokuton clones as pointed out by Madara. So Sasuke will easily see through the clones.
Immune to poisons:You must be registered for see links.
E: Barrier and genjutsu points:
The sharingen has the following abilities in relation to the kaleidoscope techniques:
Sasuke is able to sense objects behind solid hindrances:You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links- The sharingen can see chakra, even determining how much is left within a user.
Sharingen can detect Chakra disturbance:You must be registered for see links
How will sasuke end up in a barrier and how will that dust cloud harm EMS in any way, when sharingen can do all of the above? As I said, Kabuto completely impaired the eyes. These jutsu is not doing it, hence its uselessness. I have repeatedly pointed it out.
Tsunade:
A: Speed:
- Tsunade is much slower than A, as she lacks an armour which boosts speed and body flicker technique. This was pointed out by Madara as well:
How is she dodging Magatama, amatersu, or arrows - look at my above points for the speed of the techniques?
- Tsunade's duriblity is not more than an eight tailed beast that was screaming when Amatersu hit it square in the face (Refer to my points on amatersu for the links), when bijus have an immense amount of chakra, and instant healing abilities. Once hit, all she can do is writhe in pain and continue using the technique before Amatersu will eat through her chakra, body, and bones. It continues to burn for 7 days and nights once hit. There is no way in hell she's surviving that.
- Katsuyu can be easily countered with Kagatsuchi around the complete sussano, Magatama, and senbon. She won't be able to harm a complete sussano wrapped with Kagatsuchi and an additional wall of pure Amatersu around sussano like Sasuke did in his fight with Kabuto.
Orochimaru:
- Most of your points are strange, and i don't know what to say. The 8 snakes will get hit with Amatersu and Sussano grabs are also great to tear off the heads and grab the Sanins as well, as they were quick enough to grab Kabuto's snakes while he was in DSM mode:You must be registered for see links.
- How will any snakes' coil or constricting will work when Sussano is encased in Katsuchi and has a wall of amatersu around?
- With Enton projectiles littered around the field with Magatama, how will he continue to shed skins?
- Are the gates faster than Amatersu, Magatama, or arrows? I don't think so.
These Sanins have ZERO counters for Sasuke's blaze releases , its variants, and its incorporation on complete sussano. Even arrows are too fast for them. Other than sealing by Jariya - which is a sluggish feat - they have nothing on them, and yet, all Sasuke has to do is use magatama and create a barrage of projectiles to take them out. None of them are fast enough to evade arrows, that have cleaved through thick structures:You must be registered for see linksandYou must be registered for see linksand are so fast that they don't even give time to form hand seals, hence the reason why Kakashi used Kamui and Danzo Izanagi.
Also, once Sasuke abuses matagama, it'll take minutes to form thunder clouds, and no one is surviving kirin that obliterated an entire mountain, and Sasuke can manipulate its shape at will. Sorry, Sasuke takes this as you are forming points without taking anything from Sasuke's side. While I have already countered them at every page. So saying that he can't do this and that is just one-sided logic, as the Sanins have shown no featss that are fast and durable enough to counter all these indefinitely.
Amaterasu burns way faster when its being used, in other words when the user has his eyesight locked on target. Itachi burned through frog stomach in second, but when he was out of the picture and flames were left by themselves they werent enlarging the hole at all.Considering the Raikage had ample time to attempt another attack, be blocked, decide not to continue AND hold a short conversation with Gaara before he cut away his arm, I am very much convinced of it. There was no noticeable spread of the black fire, even after all that.
So Sasuke will maintain eye-contact with whatever target he burns to ensure it's taken out? Doesn't that, I don't know, strike you as a Poor Tactical Decision? You don't take your eyes off 2 Sannin and their summons, or most of the Sannin's summons and all three of them, and expect to live long.Amaterasu burns way faster when its being used, in other words when the user has his eyesight locked on target.

Its not like ha has to mentain eye contact for long. Frog stomach was burned in second, it was the same with Danzo.So Sasuke will maintain eye-contact with whatever target he burns to ensure it's taken out?

He'll have to look at any of the Sannin for a bit longer than a second to take them out(healing, Sage Mode, Hydra or White-Snake Mode), and that means not concentrating on at least 5 opponents. A Bad Idea. Not even going into how Amaterasu is not necessarily fatal or undodgeable for the Sannin, though their Summons are in trouble. Except Katsuyu.Its not like ha has to mentain eye contact for long. Frog stomach was burned in second, it was the same with Danzo.
