Also.. that is the measurement of it between the ground and clouds. So it is indeed the strike speed -_- Faster than the speed of sound...uh you do everyone since the Wave Arc was supersonic+, and everyone since the Chunin Exams Arc were hypersonic+ right?

and check this out, someone calculated how fast Susanoo's manifestation would be:

I'm going to do a revision of Cable's accepted calc: http://www.narutoforums.com/blog.php?b=14327

The thing is that the OBD has been supposing that Itachi needed Yata's mirror to block the Kirin, and at the same time that Itachi only managed to form the ribs (Cable's calc) to calc the speed.

You can't have both, or his Susanoo formation speed is mach 8.5 and he can survive Kirin level attacks with Susanoo's ribs, or he needs Yata's mirror to survive Kirin and his Susanoo formation speed is:

Itachi is 1.78 meters and 1.3 cm in the scan Yata's mirror compacted, the blue line, is 5 cm. Yata's mirror expanded to block a wide attack (like Kirin) is 7.1 cm.

Compacted Yata mirror is 6.85 meters. Expanded Yata mirror is 9.72 meters.

So the speed to form them in 0.001 seconds are:

Compacted Yata mirror: 6850 m/s (mach 19.9)

Expanded Yata mirror: 9720 m/s (mach 28.3)

I know that people will tell me that the picture I used is that of the yata mirror blocking an attack (like the Kirin) and that I should use the yata mirror's normal height:

Using this scan if you think that the Yata mirror ends in the blue line: Yata mirror's height: 5.636 meters Susanoo's formation speed 5636 m/s (mach 16.4)

If you think that the green line is where Yata mirror ends: Yata mirror's height: 6.3 meters Susanoo's formation speed: 6300 m/s (mach 18.3)

Conclusion, depending on your interpretation of the feat Susanoo can have:

-Mach 8.5 formation speed and high town level durability just in his ribs state.

-Mach 16.4--28 formation speed, and only high town level durability with Yata's mirror.

But I think that the OBD already agreed that only with Yata's mirror Itachi's Suanoo has high town level durability

Btw: Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

SM Kabuto and Itachi have showed to have speed and reaction speed above the one of Susanoo's formation, and Danzou was close to the speed of Susanoo's formation. Between Mach 20-28. Not anywhere near the speed of lightning...and slower than the movement speed of the average Chunin and Jonin (Mach 34).
