Ylone wrote: The question is, can Sasuke afford to use Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi all the time while Tobirama tries to decapitate or slash through him? He doesn't have to. These flames have repeatedly burned for a significant amount of time. Even when used on the offensive, the flames would exist long enough to use defensively.

Ylone wrote: Yes it's true, but when a powerful water and fire technique of equal powers collide, they usually create steam. The steam itself cannot be used as a source of immense heat to create the cumulonimbi required for Kirin Yea no. The steam would rise, rapidly cool at higher levels and condense into clouds, resulting in the necessary clouds for Kirin. Steam is used in engineering solutions as a carrier of heat. It's an even better source of heat than water.

It would require him to get close to begin with, against a target that predicts movement and creates a semi-barrier through his techniques, limiting access. It's a big if, hence my statement about previous knowledge.
