Except we have already seen that even the v1 chakra cloak can block amaterasu. naruto did it to sasuke in the closing chapters of the manga. it isn't an overpowering threat. And killer bee could have easily cut off his own tentacle just like he did in the war. amaterasu can't finish him. he was definitely in pain but he still thought of a way to counter it in the heat (heh) of the moment. karin and sasuke simply did the work of removing the tentacle for him. Bloodlusted bee who doesn't want to leave the hidden cloud and get free time away from Ayy comes out of the water in v2 and lariats each taka member's head off as punishment for wasting his time... karin couldn't even sense that the real killer bee was under water. suigetsu is already unconscious. sasuke was tired. jugo was also tired. they can't win in the physical condition they were in at that point. Lol no, killer bee was already deep under water hidden in the tentacle. if sasuke didn't stop the amaterasu then the only thing that dies is killer bee's fake clone. switching himself with a clone is the definition of countering... he was not killed by the jutsu, that is all that matters. he was still in fighting condition. How exactly is that plot no jutsu? this battle is what established some of the abilities of gyuki in the first place. a special ability of his is the ability to place his host in tentacles that can be detached, giving them a second chance in battle. every bijuu gives special abilities to their jinchuriki. Killer bee was clearly joking around with them. he was even talking about how he was gonna have a nice drink of alcohol after he was finished. he shunshin'd across a mountain faster than they could blink. Sasuke literally got embarrassed. he lost in swordsmanship. he got his chest blown open. how much more clear can the writer be that he was inferior? his injuries from itachi are offset by the fact he has 3 allies, one of which is a healer, so it balances out in my opinion. it's not like sasuke was by himself.

I'm surprised that you think that version of sasuke was a greater threat than minato to bee. I also proved that killer bee and ayy fought minato many times, how is that not enough for you?If you have a counter, please state it. In this case, you can't use killer bee's statement as direct evidence because that statement is what is up on the chopping block. I'm directly challenging that claim. In some cases, feats + other statements > than one questionable statement. and It's pretty safe to say that killer bee's statement about sasuke being his greatest threat is questionable.

Also, sasuke clearly threw the mission away and agreed with suigetsu after a certain point, because he used amaterasu. he didn't know if he could extinguish the flames beforehand either. it was literally his last stand. he was just fortunate that he learned how to do it in the moment, and killer bee still countered it and could have finished him if he so desired.
