The whole thing is ridden with so many contradictions, retcons, and what-not that if it were rewritten from the ground up using current knowledge, it wouldn't even be the same story. It was meant as a more encompassing word. Consistency is number two on the "reality check" list. Number one is "what the hell are you doing". Naruto is full of powercreep during the war. It's kind of fine, it can be explained quite a bit (with Kurama, Naruto was always going to be strong). But i think the story needs to take a breather and return to simpler times, when knowing a bunch of jutsu already made you Jonin.

Ajr1218 wrote: As for power-ups and evolutions, well, due to limited circumstances and poor writing we've never seen the full extent of Naruto's and Sasuke's powers. The Pain arc is one of the best in Naruto, partially because it's about Pains limitations rather than powers. We know the full extent of the Pain's powers. We saw it at it's limit. Narusus and Sasufer? not so much. Kabuto? Really cool combination, barely know the limit of his ability. The five Kage? other than chakra and old age, we know nothing of the limit of their power. Facing a god that just is immune to everything shows nothing proper. The 4th war introduced so many new concepts and ideas that it didn't have time to explore it's limits.

Ajr1218 wrote: it may be plausible to form the Perfect Susanoo as a suit of armor Considering the stuff he's pulled, i'm surprised Sasuke never put it on as armor. It must be much easier to maintain it as armor than as a giant independently moving warrior.

Sasuke's logical extension of Amaterasu would be to call forth: Ajr1218 wrote: Naruto's only been using what has been proven time and time again for him My number 1 Naruto annoyance. Flying Thunder god would be ideal for him. Hell, learning any elemental jutsu would be gold for him because his reserves allow him to spam it on a ridiculous level. Secondly, Wind style: Rasengan was pretty cool and evolved into Wind Style: Rasenshuriken. So why doesn't he make a Fire Style: Rasengan that evolves into, say, Fire Style: RasenStar. Or Water Style: RasenTorrent. Or Lightning Style: RasenMonsoon. Or whatever, think of a fancy name. Why don't we see 5 unique elemental Rasengan evolutions, each with it's own unique abilities. E.g. Rasenshuriken can be thrown while Firestyle can be blasted and Water Style is a perpetuating torrent. So many possibilities, but we "just" get a different-cored Rasenshuriken.
 * Amaterasu: Tengai Shinsei . Amaterasu-ignited meteors for maximum combination of impact and raw hitting power.
 * Amaterasu Magatama (like Kakashi's Kamui Shuriken)
 * Rinne Summoning: Phoenix (Animal path summons a Phoenix that burns with Amaterasu. Follows the death-themed animal summons).
