Forum:Powerful Rain jutsu

Hi, I wanted to clarify something. During the six-tails arc in the anime there was this strange ANBU guy who used a rain technique against naruto and yamato that "ate" the rasengan and all other jutsus. I've read the wikia page on this,but i still don't understand. If it can "eat" all jutsus then...i don't know...maybe it can "eat" thru sumfin like...let's say...AMATERASU...Neji of the gentle fist (talk) 21:40, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

No it can't
We've learned that Amaterasu's flames are inextinguishable. So this rain eating jutsu is no exception - it can't quell the flames of Amaterasu. The only way to do so is to have the Mangekyou yourself and extinguish the flames like Sasuke can. Okay... Thanks.Neji of the gentle fist (talk) 22:29, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe it can
FYI Jiraiya extinguishes Amaterasu by using a fire seal scroll in the episode arc where Itashi and Kisame encounter Naruto and Sasuke in the hotel.

Well...
What if a technique that absorbed chakra, like Pain's Preta Path can use, was used on Amaterasu wouldn't it be extinguished? As its origin lies in chakra and keeps burning, even if there is no fuel, it would be 'burning' chakra right? So taking that away would cause it to dwindle and die, right?
