First of all, you must know that i'm not discrediting Amaterasu when i make this thread. I'm only there to give my analysis about this jutsu that maybe people failed to notice.
I mean, i don't understand why Amaterasu is that overestimated when we're talking about a jutsu that didn't even killed "one" person in this manga apart maybe from fodders. Each times it was used, the opponent managed to dodge it. Not saying it was easy to do, but still:
- Sasuke manage to evade it a little bit, and when it touched him, he used kawarimi no jutsu from orochimaru
- When Killer-bee was touched, he also used kawarimi no jutsu to evade it.
These 2examples shows that even when you get touched by the flammes, it's not over at all. You can "simply" use kawarimi to escape from it.
- A managed to dodge it with his speed. That means also that speed is another method to escape from it, but no one is as fast as Raikage obviously except from Minato or Naruto and maybe some others we don't know.
- Killer-Bee has also shown recently that it was capable to attack the user before he uses it:
That shows that to use Amaterasu, there is a small preparation you need in order to concentrate a little bit before launching it. That's why experimented ninjas could notice it and prepare themselves to dodge it.
Amaterasu is an instant jutsu yes, but what people forget also to understand is that "it doesn't appear directly on the target you see" like people sometimes claim, but "it travels to reach this target". Zetsu said "it converges to a spot". Converge here means it lands to some point, so it travels. Even if it's fast obviously. And the scene with Raikage prove my point:
Look carefully at this pic. At the start we can see that Amaterasu is where the Raikage is. If it appeared, it would have touched him at that time, which is not the case. Then the Raikage see it approaching and thanks to his speed, he dodges it easily at the last moment.
What should also enter into consideration is that "when the Raikage dodged the attack", Amaterasu continued to travel and reach the samurai who was behind:
That again shows that "it travels" and "not appear" in the contrary of the popular belief.
