Why didn't he use Kirin during his VOTE fight with Naruto?

Because he would need the elements to be aligned (storm cloud and ish)..

OT: Would've been nice to see Naruto's reaction.

Because Indra's Arrow and his Lightning Senbon are far stronger...

Indra Arrow is stronger and he would of needed time to setup, which Naruto would of sensed and it would have been for nothing.

He means after the explosion when they had little-to-no chakra left. The conditions were perfect and the technique doesn't require chakra to utilize. The reason he didn't use it: plot.

Do you guys understand what kind of conditions need to be met for Kirin to work? By the time Naruto and Sasuke got up from the stalemate the clouds were already gone.

Considering he needed to be on higher grounds to execute the technique, I think its clear why he can't simply use it.

Except the OP only said during the VoTE fight. He did not specify.

Anyway, the atmosphere and conditions weren't conducive to the formation of thunderclouds at the time, so Kirin wasn't a viable option. Just look at the sky here when they are fighting [ ]. Naruto and Sasuke were also engaged in a taijutsu brawl; Sasuke wouldn't have the chance to set up the technique while they are in the middle of fighting.

Because Cumulonimbus clouds formed, right?

That and Sasuke was busy charging and then . Right after both Naruto/Sasuke were in the radius of the explosion destroying not only AA but also the BijuuPS, there is no logical way for Sasuke to have had the mobility nor the durability to even struggle or try to plan an attack under those . You can even see on the bottom right the clouds were already dispersing, and they did not hold any dark color, meaning the conditions were never there to begin with. It all came from the stalemate, as obvious to the reader.

He would have become a pile of diarrhea

Maybe if he was in base but the Naruto with cloak on tanks it. Sasukes Kirin won't be any different in power from when he used it against Itachi. The lightning is natural, he's just manipulating its trajectory. He also can't decide how much lightning a storm produce, that's up to nature so it could possibly be weaker.

Pointless as hell. ¬____¬ I would loved to see it again regardless, my favourite jutsu ever. I can never get over how awesome it is and still holds up that spark in my heart. <3

Indra's Arrow would have been on a larger scale but it would be too easy for Naruto to dodge. Indra's Arrow is the best because he can focus his energy and aim anywhere he likes at the same time
