sasuke used amaterasu to strenghten his jutsu, he doesnt need it normally but it makes the jutsu stronger :)

Natural lighting could not be made more or less strong... Karin is a jutsu which directs natural lightning towards the target, amatarasu was used to make the thundercloud, and the fire dragon jutsu just increased the speed... If you watch the naruto shippudrn anime episode 138, u can see when sasuke fired that dragon flame jutsu and itachi was doging it, the background sky was grey and it was about to rain( by the heat genarated by amatarasu )...

if i remember correctly wasn't sasuke going to use kirin on team 7 before orochimaru stopped him? All he did was raised his hand up. So is it possible he could use kirin without thunderclouds? As I said in my comment- Karin is a jutsu which directs natural lightning towards the target, amatarasu was used to make the thundercloud, and the fire dragon jutsu just increased the speed...

So without the thunderclouds where could he get the natural lightning.?
