@Blazerelease

you keep repeating the same flawed argument. Water clones are not the same thing as shadow clones. Kakashi couldn't tell zabuza's water clones from the original. Water clones use TEN PERCENT of the user's chakra. Why do you not understand this? Only shadow clones split chakra evenly.

No, you didn't use any manga facts. You stated that sasuke is faster than kiba to the point kiba can't react, based on sasuke being faster than gaara's sand. Well, news flash, there is no proof that rescue arc kiba is slower than chunnin gaara's sand.

Why would a fireball jutsu need to travel along strings to hit a target that is supposedly already immobilized?

Nope, sasuke literally lodged his hand into gaara's sand. He would have lost an arm to sand coffin, and possibly more. Sasuke didn't calculate anything. Attacking from underground would be smarter since his hand wouldn't be lodged in the sand lol. IF the sand prevents him from finishin gaara he can just use head-hunter jutsu to escape. and did you forget that the sharingan copies ninjutsu? Sasuke can learn headhunter from kakashi. He could have copied shadow clone from naruto. He just didn't think of doing any of it.

This is an excuse. Sasuke literally fought naruto at the valley of the end where there is a giant statue of madara uchiha. If Itachi knew, than sasuke could know. Sasuke didn't know squat about izanagi, izanami, either. He is not that smart, he doesn't know anything about his clan's history yet you have outsiders like Danzo who was able to study and learn how to use izanagi. Enough said. How hard is it to know about the greatest leader in your clan's recent history?

You are using meta knowledge. We as the audience obviously know that kirin would kill almost anyone showed up to that point, but sasuke doesn't know that. It was stated that kirin couldn't be evaded, not that the target couldn't react. That means as long as you know it's coming, you can use shields. Minato can use FTG to escape, etc. Sasuke didn't have a backup plan yet he was still searching for itachi. he was only intercepted by kisame because he went looking for itachi in the first place lol, and he had time to make a new backup plan but he was just too impatient.
