Debut?
So if it's part of Enton that he can put out the flames, wouldn't the debut be the chapter he actually put them out? Seelentau 愛議 21:26, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've seen people argue about Itachi having extinguished the flames as well, I don't recall.--Elveonora (talk) 21:48, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * What chapter? Seelentau 愛議 22:09, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Chapter 390 page 6--Elveonora (talk) 22:25, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * He stopped casting it, yes. He did not put it out, though. Seelentau 愛議 22:34, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * He didn't want to kill Sasuke and was pretending he wanted his eyes. So you mean to tell me the flame ceased to burn by itself?--Elveonora (talk) 12:41, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. It burns everything it needs to, and if that's done, it stops, hm? Seelentau 愛議 12:56, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

So what you imply is that the technique's flame burns and is hot only while the user focuses his sight on a target? That kinda contradicts it burning the forests and if that were true, Sasuke would have had to just close his eyes in order to save Karin. Not to mention it would leave Zetsu's statement irrelevant if Itachi didn't do anything--Elveonora (talk) 13:00, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes... in that case, putting out the flames isn't part of Enton. Seelentau 愛議 11:21, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

That's what I'm getting at, Amaterasu article even states Itachi could put out the flames, yet this article accredits it to blaze release thing--Elveonora (talk) 12:10, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Unless things were changed, eons ago, the ability to put out the flames was not one attributed to Blaze Release, but a power of mastery of Amaterasu. The ability to manipulate the flames (read: Have it move in one direction, then suddenly turn to another, make stuff out of it, ect) was attributed to Blaze Release. Before Sasuke started doing stuff to it, Amaterasu could be cast but then it just kind of did it's own thing. Sasuke then decided to use Plot no Jutsu and made it do other stuff besides burn everything to the ground.
 * What did that little history lesson mean? It means that Itachi putting out the fire was not Blaze Release, just him exerting his mastery. Sasuke deciding to make spikes was using Blaze Release and that was the debut.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 12:38, February 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * The thing is, the article claims: "This nature also allows the user to extinguish these flames" ._. --Elveonora (talk) 17:49, February 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * /shrug Guess it shouldn't?--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 18:00, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

While I agree that the ability to extinguish the flames should not be in this article, it wasn't explicitly pointed out that Itachi did the same to Sasuke's Orochimaru-style Replacement Technique. I believe Zetsu stated that Itachi stopped using Amaterasu, and was proceeding to go for Sasuke's eyes, not that he was stopping the flames for the sake of protecting those eyes. Due to the abilities Sasuke inherited from Orochimaru, the Replacement Technique could have been partitioned in such a manner that the flames would not consume the upper torso that Sasuke used as bait. And as Itachi had no real intention of taking Sasuke's life, or eyes, it's extremely doubtful that he would have willingly nailed Sasuke with Amaterasu unless he was aware of that Replacement Technique.

I'm of the opinion that Kagutsuchi is the only definite example of exerting that degree of control over Amaterasu's flames, and is the ocular power—the "new power"—that Sasuke discovered in Chapter 415. Many surmised that Itachi did so not only due to the circumstances of the Replacement Technique, but the translations that were made available to us at the time also insinuated as much. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 01:49, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Jutsu? Really?
I'm sorry, but isn't it more speculative to call Blaze Release just a jutsu instead of chakra nature? Yes, there's stuff with it that doesn't add up either way, but considering all the information baggage we have on how stuff is named in Naruto, calling it a chakra nature requires fewer assumptions and logic tinkering than calling it a jutsu. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:26, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Wait, when did it stop being a nature?--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 00:32, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression that it was discussed, eons ago, that if something ended up with "X Release" and led to techniques with "X Release: Y" it was a nature until Kishimoto decided to say otherwise. When the hell did that change?--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 00:35, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

While I understand why some of you might be against my latest edits to this article, I think they were valid. This article is - as it is now - full of speculation about Enton and even while I agree with all of it, it's against how a Wiki should work if we leave those speculations in the article.

Enton was never called an advanced nature. Its ending is the only thing that suggests that it's an advanced chakra nature. Everything else speaks against it being a nature: There is no new nature created, it's cast through the eyes and there's only one nature involved (as far as we know). It's against what Kakashi described as a nature based Kekkei Genkai.

Also, if we apply the "X ton = nature" principle to everything, then wouldn't this be a nature, too? Seelentau 愛議 08:51, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think there are more examples of nature-like techniques like Toad Oil Bullet--Elveonora (talk) 12:58, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

But on actual topic, sorry to disappoint you Seel, but:
 * it's an application of Amaterasu
 * Amaterasu is Fire Release
 * therefore still a nature, advanced or not
 * meaning it should still be classified as Fire Release in the least--Elveonora (talk) 13:49, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, Enton is used through Fire Release, but it was never stated that it's a new nature. Amaterasu isn't a new nature and Enton is Amaterasu + Keitaihenka. By the manga's explanation, Enton is no new nature (or a new Kekkei Genkai, for that matter). Seelentau 愛議 13:52, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * True, we shouldn't suggest it's an advanced nature in case it hasn't been stated which I don't recall if it was. But I think you removed too much stuff, like the Tobirama statement for example which in fact lays evidence onto your proposition that it indeed may not be an advanced nature considering an instance of past possible user/s.

For example, the time-altering aspect of Tsukuyomi isn't mandatory, it can be used without it, so who is to say that every Amaterasu user can't learn "blaze release" which may simply be an optional trick to it?--Elveonora (talk) 14:06, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * I removed that, because he didn't say Enton, but Kagutsuchi. I guess that's just nitpicking, though. And I never said that no one else could possibly use Enton. Seelentau 愛議 14:42, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Also unless I'm missing something, another thing worthy of note is how come is this a doujutsu since we saw Sasuke use it with his hands? 0_o Kinda not following Kishi's logic--Elveonora (talk) 14:44, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Aamaterasu is a Dōjutsu. Seelentau 愛議 15:20, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * But so is Blaze Release, isn't it? What about C's comment? But he can do it with hands too so that's confusing to me--Elveonora (talk) 15:43, February 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't know what exactly Blaze Release is, but it's a Dōjutsu because of Amaterasu. Sasuke can't do it with his hands, he just focuses it on his hands. Seelentau 愛議 17:09, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Think of it the same way Obito can use Kamui to nigh-instantly transport his victims to the other dimensional space by making physical contact with them. Using Kagutsuchi in conjunction with Amaterasu allows the flames to be conjured up and wielded in that manner. At least, that's how I see it.


 * By the way: Still wishing you guys would just identify it as the way Sasuke dubs Amaterasu's flames. What other examples do we have of a Nature Release being distinguished by the manner in which Shape Transformation is applied? Nature Release has always been synonymous with Nature Transformation... Blargh. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 17:24, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Blaze Release being a dojutsu was never in question, it manipulates Amaterasu, so that was a given. The issue was it wasn't a chakra nature. Which the name "Blaze Release", its application "Blaze Release: WhateverDaFudgeIWantBecauseI'mSasukeUchiha". The fact that we don't know what makes it doesn't change it fits with the other things we do know about Nature transformations.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 23:37, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but when you say "advanced chakra nature", do you mean kekkei genkei? Iowndisciti (talk) 00:07, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Technically, yes. As one cannot have an advanced chakra nature without a kekkei genkai.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 02:41, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, Blaze Release is a dojutsu. The fact that we don't know what it is means that we don't add something like "is an advanced chakra nature". Simple as that. So how was my edit wrong? I removed everything that wasn't stated in the manga and left a trivia about the "release" and how it's unclear if it's a chakra nature. Seelentau 愛議 09:21, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * This is going to become a circle argument and one we've had plenty of times before. Anyone want to guess my next line? I'm certain you've all seen it by now.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 12:31, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, you could try to counter my arguments for a change? I countered your "release = nature" argument with "Tonton Jutsu isn't a nature, either" and even added a trivia about that suffix. What else don't you agree with? Seelentau 愛議 13:03, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh I most certainly can. And I have. Plenty of times before this one. But that merely delays the inevitable. Before I continue any further I'm hoping someone takes note of how this will most in all probability end up going.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 13:13, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, you will go on like "I am an admin and have power over you" and "since I disagree with you the discussion ends here and now." Right?Iloveinoxxx (talk) 13:19, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Hufflepuff-senior. Mind to enlighten us mortals with your divine judgment?Idontcareaboutmyname (talk) 13:31, February 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Slytherin actually. (Green and Silver for Life!) but considering how you asked so very nicely.
 * 1) Seelentau brought up a counter to my first statement "release = nature" with "Tonton".
 * 2) I would have then countered with Tonton being a character's name. I would have also countered with past evidence in series have shown that when a technique went from "X Release: Y (Technique)", the first part was the nature.
 * 3) Seelentau could then counter with we have no proof it is a nature though, and to that he is not wrong.
 * 4) I would have countered, while we don't have proof that it is a nature, we also do not have proof that it is not one. I would have then used my previous statement again to point out that it follows the same written format as every other nature, and considering how it is not Fire, Wind, Earth, or Water, the logical conclusion is that it would be an advanced nature.
 * 5) Which rightfully should be countered with "We don't know that, so we shouldn't make assumptions."
 * 6) To which I would respond "That's the problem we keep having and why this crap happens every other month, we have enough information to make a conclusion on our own we just don't and sit with our thumbs up our asses."
 * 7) Then from here on out, it will be me vs anyone whom I've ever offended, leaving the conversation at hand to be ignored or resolved with no "end" to the overarching issue that leads to this thing in the first place.
 * That is basically how this conversation will continue. As it happened the last dozen times we had it.

In my dearest opinion, I think this shouldn't be counted as a Kekkei Genkai. Though as I stated, it's just a opinion.

Now....Fall Under my Ultimate Genjutsu (talk) 20:56, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

How does this even work?
How can Sasuke cast flames on the whole ribcage of Susanoo when he can't even see the whole thing? How can he cast it in Susanoo's hand as a black orb while he's blindfolded? And does he really always cast Amaterasu first and only then uses form manipulation? Seelentau 愛議 23:56, March 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * How does Madara cast a eye technique without eyes? Seriously the laws of physics in the Naruto universe bend to the will of the Uchiha.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 00:11, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

I assume the flames spread around the ribcage after it's been ignited. As for the orb, I once again assume it's just a physical manifestation of his ability to use Blaze Release, much like the gourd from which Itachi's Tosuka Sword appears. I mean it's clearly not an actual, physical gourd and a giant sword made of energy doesn't actually need a sheath, but in order to understand it in a visual media, we're given these little things to help ease the transition a little. Really the only big one I wonder is the Eye Technique with no Eyes thing...--Hawkeye2701 (talk) 00:35, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

I see your point with this one Seel. Seemingly, this ain't a doujutsu, yet we were told it is at first. Same for Susanoo ^_ Sasuke can use Blaze Release no differently than his Chidori it seems.... create and hold it in hand without even looking and so on...--Elveonora (talk) 14:25, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * A buddy over at the German wiki described Enton as Sasuke's right eye's ability. While he can use Amaterasu as a long-range Ninjutsu with his left eye, he can use Enton with his right eye. It allows him to cast Amaterasu as form-manipulated flames, even at places he isn't looking at (based on the ribcage-thing). It would also be stupid if he had to cast Amaterasu before he used form-manipulation on the flames all the times, hm? I think we should probably re-write the article to reflect this. Seelentau 愛議 14:34, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

was it only our own assumption?
This is related to Seel's topic above, but deserves its own. I must ask everyone...

Were we actually ever told that Sasuke controlling Amaterasu with the other eye its cast with equals Blaze Release, or did we just somehow assign ourselves C's explanation of the armor of black flames around Susanoo phenomenon with Sasuke's sudden statements about Blaze Release? ;--)

I think we just assumed wrong... Amaterasu: Flame Wrapping Fire was NEVER Blaze Release to begin with, but rather just advanced control of the flames, but something even Itachi in theory could learn/do. How did I come to the conclusion? Well:


 * Blaze Release doesn't even require the eyes. Sasuke can:
 * 1) cast it without even first looking at his hand which holds it
 * 2) his eyes don't bleed when using Blaze Release, yet they do while using Amaterasu, figure

Short topic short, Blaze Release indeed is an advanced nature, but isn't what Sasuke did back at the summit and C was explaining about. Also Blaze Release isn't a doujutsu.--Elveonora (talk) 14:45, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, we were never told what Blaze Release is, but from reading the manga, we can conclude that it has to do with Amaterasu. That's the only thing we can say for sure. Seelentau 愛議 15:06, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. Just saying the whole Amaterasu Susanoo Armor thing was never stated to be Blaze Release and we just merged C's explanation of it with our limited understanding of Blaze Release ^_ Therefore I propose: Blaze Release =/= left/right eye control combo thingy at all.--Elveonora (talk) 15:09, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Then what is Enton? Seelentau 愛議 15:22, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

 * Yeah, sure. Seelentau 愛議 16:37, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry but, does that mean that Enton isn't an advanced Katon and the Amaterasu does only control the shape/quantity of the black flames?! I don't recall that part. — Shakhmoot Nadeshiko Village Symbol.svg (Talk) 16:42, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

@Seel, since it's related to Amaterasu, it's Fire + something, but isn't a doujutsu, that's all we know. @Shak, Enton was never just an advanced Katon. Most of us are certain that it's an advanced nature (save for Seel who wasn't in agreement once and may or may not agree now) What I'm saying is that what we thought to be part of Enton (C's left+right eye explanation) wasn't referring to Enton but something any Amaterasu user could do.

As Seel said, Sasuke doesn't even focus his sight when using Enton. He can form it from his hands without using his eyes. Therefore Enton doesn't just alter an already cast Amaterasu, Enton can be used without first having cast any Amaterasu to modify. As an example: take it that Enton is like Mokuton, the wood gets created right away. We just incorrectly assumed that Enton is what would in case of a Mokuton user be using Water on top of already cast Earth--Elveonora (talk) 16:57, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I got it, Elve-kun. But how do you explain his control of his Enton when he merged his technique with Naruto's Rasenshuriken in chapter #641? Also, about his sword version. We couldn't see his eye when he performed it. That can't be assumed that he can use it without his eye, right? — Shakhmoot Nadeshiko Village Symbol.svg (Talk) 17:18, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I said the remote control of black flames isn't Blaze Release, just something Sasuke can do with his eye and presumably Itachi could have learned too. And it can be clearly seen in chapter 641 that his eyes weren't used, he even had his hands behind his back--Elveonora (talk) 17:36, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Let's... let's just collect every information the manga gives us: Anything else? Seelentau 愛議 17:43, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Enton has something to do with Amaterasu, but we don't know what exactly.
 * It is in some way used in Enton: Kagutsuchi, but we don't know in what way.
 * It was not stated to be the reason for Sasuke's ability to control the black flames. We don't know how he does that.
 * This ^_ But also:


 * We know it's a nature and since it's called Blaze Release and not any of the basic five, it's an advanced one and at least Fire, hence its relation to Amaterasu--Elveonora (talk) 17:56, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Na. Don't be a hypocrite. We don't know if it's a nature. Seelentau 愛議 17:59, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Let us please not start that all over again.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 18:14, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Isn't it a Nature though? As far as Chakra Natures go, there's the base 5, Yin, Yang and the Advanced natures. There hasn't been a single "Release" ability that wasn't a nature of some kind. So presumably Blaze Release must be rooted with a Blaze Nature, like Wood Release etc. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 18:16, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I know, but then there's the manga who isn't showing anything that would further support it being a nature... we really only have the ton ending that suggest it's a nature, there's nothing else. Seelentau 愛議 18:19, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * @Seel, no hypocrisy at my side. As Ultimate3 said, lets not go there again, it was agreed upon to be a nature. The "ton" is more than enough evidence of it being a nature. And as you were told, it's not just the "ton" there, but the "ton" being used as a prefix.--Elveonora (talk) 18:22, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * But it ain't more than enough evidence how C explained Sasuke's ability to control the flames while thinking of Enton: Kagutsuchi for Enton being the source of the form manipulation? Seelentau 愛議 18:25, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

No. Sasuke didn't call what he did there Enton: Kagatsuchi and there's evidence against it be. Let me just say this. In case a technique ever shows up that's called: "Kuchiyose: something" (with even the kanji being the same 口寄せ) and if that will be enough for you to conclude it's a summoning with no doubt, it you will be you who is the hypocrite ^_ This is the same thing with Enton, so why doubts?--Elveonora (talk) 18:32, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * He did. C, while explaining Sasuke's Keitaihenka, remembers Sasuke using Enton: Kagutsuchi. Seelentau 愛議 18:34, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * EDIT: He sure did I see. That doesn't mean the manipulation itself was Enton. Enton is more likely to be the flame itself--Elveonora (talk) 18:47, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * So, Enton: Kagutsuchi = flame control, but then what is Enton? Seelentau 愛議 18:57, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's a fire visually identical to that of Amaterasu with the only differences being that it has affix of a nature and can be used from body parts other than eyes, like hands or Susanoo orbs. And right, I think along the same lines. The right eye control thing may be the "Kagatsuchi" part.--Elveonora (talk) 19:10, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * He did the control-thing and didn't call it Kagutsuchi, though... Seelentau 愛議 19:12, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

i support theultimate here unless kishimoto gives us a offical explanatin we dont know all of it and there will be always different opinions on the matter but one of those is not better thatn the others. so i say leave the article and discuss theorries on the chatIloveinoxxx (talk) 19:18, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

@Seel, when was that? @Ilove, it's not "theories" it's a reconsideration of our understanding of what we state as facts. Would you rather us falsely claim something? Better safe than sorry. All I propose is for us to remove the control part and move it elsewhere, because it obviously isn't correct to claim Enton is just control of Amaterasu, since he can use it with hands and without casting Amaterasu first.--Elveonora (talk) 19:39, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * When he set Susanoo's ribcage on fire. Seelentau 愛議 20:20, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Aforementioned buddy also thought of how it's likely that Amaterasu is a technique that uses the black flames in the same way Enton is a technique? So Amaterasu isn't what the flames are, but a technique which utilizes them. Enton is simply another technique that does so. Or maybe Enton really is an advanced nature, part of which is Katon, thus the flames really are the strongest Katonjutsu and are shot through Amaterasu... or so? Seelentau 愛議 20:56, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

@Seel, so? He isn't like a known local idiot called Naruto who yells the names of his techniques all the time. For the rest, no, because Amaterasu was stated to be Katon. Why would a katon technique be used to cast flames that are advanced nature?--Elveonora (talk) 21:17, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Na, like this: Enton is a kekkei genkai that allows the user to cast black flames, either as formless flames through amaterasu or as formed flames through kagutsuchi. part of the basic natures Enton is formed from is Katon, hence why Amaterasu is described as the strongest Katonjutsu. Seelentau 愛議 21:24, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

I think that Enton was the actual black flames, not what's controlling it (so not the sharingan) with ameterasu being a fire style jutsu, maybe enton is still fire style but advanced but then again ton would get rid of that idea, if that's so then a fire visually identical to ameterasu would be dumb without it being ameterasu do you not think? so would blaze release not just be what creates ameterasu so ameterasu Is a blaze release jutsu 21:31, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Enton is an advanced nature, made up of fire and ???, which enables the wielder to use "Amaterasu" and "Enton: Kagutsuchi". Seelentau 愛議 21:36, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Has anything since the 2nd databook actually called Amaterasu Katon (rather than Enton)?--BeyondRed (talk) 21:50, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * No. And even the databook entry calls it the strongest Katonjutsu, but that doesn't exclude the possibility of another nature involved. I mean, how else would you explain the different colour? Seelentau 愛議 21:57, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know guys. Because that would beg the question what's the point in even using Amaterasu since Kagatsuchi is just that, but better.--Elveonora (talk) 21:55, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Because Sasuke's better than Itachi when it comes to that? C even stated that, right? Seelentau 愛議 21:57, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Then why did Sasuke bother casting Amaterasu against Kabuto instead of Kagatsuchi? ;)--Elveonora (talk) 22:00, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Because Kagutsuchi is more of a precise flame, while Amaterasu is more of a wide-spread flame. You wouldn't use a little drill if you wanted to drill a giant hole, would'ya? Seelentau 愛議 22:02, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay... but if black flames = Enton and both Amaterasu and Kagatsuchi are just techniques using it...


 * is Itachi user of Enton too?
 * if black fire is its own nature (which makes sense) so would not be black lightning? "headache"

EDIT: in fact we have canonical evidence for this. Tobirama hinted upon another Enton user he may have encountered in the past, meaning it's likely all users of black flames are Enton users, Itachi included. Bingo 0_0--Elveonora (talk) 22:06, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know about the Black Lightning, but yeah, Itachi would be an Enton user, too. And since Sasuke only knows Katon and Raiton, Enton is Katon and Raiton. Either that or Katon and Inton. Seelentau 愛議 22:15, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Even with lots of evidence from the canon... it's flawed. If black flames in general = advanced nature, being Fire + "something" then that doesn't explain Itachi. Sasuke has Fire and Lightning which could together make up the Blaze, but Itachi had only Fire and Water to our knowledge. Inton would do, but that's not a nature to our knowledge, since there are only 5 basic, right?--Elveonora (talk) 22:18, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * But It would make sense for It to be Inton do you not think? 22:22, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Inton is a nature, too. Along with Yoton it's one of the two, let's say, core natures. Because there would be no basic natures if there were no Inton and Yoton, huh?
 * Anyhow, deciding which other natures is used in Enton isn't up to us.
 * The only problem is, this is a conclusion which would need the fanbase to go all tabula rasa. It's hard to accept new conclusions if you thought that an old one was correct for such a long time.
 * Either we go this way or we write down what we really, absolutely know about Enton: It's something Sasuke uses and it has to do with Amaterasu. Seelentau 愛議 22:25, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

We may aswell write down what we absolutely know then because we're not really progressing very far In this discussion 22:31, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

There's already plenty of misinformation going on within the general fanbase, even on this wiki. But oh well... still, I would like opinions of others on this as well.--Elveonora (talk) 22:39, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * And then there are the ones who think they aren't misinformed but in reality, they are. And then there's me, I know everything. :D Anyhow, can you sum this up? I can see TheUltimate saying how he's confused by this discussion already x) Seelentau 愛議 22:54, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

The funny thing is that even if summed up 5 times just for the sake of clarity and written to be as easy to comprehend as it can get, he still doesn't get it. But we like him anyway x) Well, these are the key points:


 * It's generally agreed upon that Blaze is a nature. Not being part of the five, it's an advanced nature therefore.
 * It produces black flames identical to those of Amaterasu.
 * How likely is it for 2 different natures to be both visually and effect-wise indistinguishable?
 * How logical is it for something that controls a nature to be a different nature? (would be like saying that someone spitting mud equals Earth Release, but manipulation of the mud to be a different nature)
 * Unless Amaterasu is also Blaze.
 * Tobirama suggested other Kagatsuchi users in the past. What's more likely, that with already very rare Amaterasu, there were others with even rarer Blaze, or that Amaterasu is Blaze?
 * Why would a Fire Release be black in the first place (Amaterasu) unless it were more than Fire?

Is that it Seel?--Elveonora (talk) 23:09, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ya. This way, I'd be fine with Enton being an advanced nature. Seelentau 愛議 23:14, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I can agree with that. I've always thought Amaterasu was more than just Fire by itself, and was actually Blaze. Plus Tobirama's statement does seem to indicate that there were other Enton users, so it would only make sense that those with Amaterasu were Enton users, rare as they already were. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 23:34, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Holy crap, am I reading this right? Have you guys finally come to the conclusion that Amaterasu's black flames = Enton? Better late than never, I suppose.

The black flames may have been described as the pinnacle of Katon, but have never looked, or functioned as normal fire has. It's perfectly sensible for Sasuke to be dubbing the black flames "Enton", and that it be considered an advanced nature release with Katon at it's base. Limiting it to the flames manipulated by Kagutsuchi was never appropriate, as a nature release has always been synonymous with the nature transformation, and distinct from the shape transformation applied to it; which is what Kagutsuchi does. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 01:40, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Er, one more thing. I kind of skimmed through this discussion, so I apologize if it's already been addressed:


 * "And it can be clearly seen in chapter 641 that his eyes weren't used"... Sasuke was using his right eye there. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 02:04, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ya, but when he casted it, he was seemingly looking forward, not to his hands. Only in the next panel he'S focusing his right eye on his hand. Seelentau 愛議 11:16, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not really outside the realm of possibility that Sasuke's left eye was glancing to the side to create the Enton; his left hand wasn't to his back, it was still within his field of vision. Also, when used in conjunction with Kagutsuchi, Sasuke doesn't always need a focal point with Amaterasu to manipulate the Enton. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 11:33, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Hello guys, I've been debating that matter with Seelentau already and am here to leave my opinion regarding this. While I agree with the fact that Enton is a advanced nature Kekkei Kenkai, you have seemingly a wrong understanding on how these techniques were used. Enton isn't an advanced nature Kekkei Gankai which allows to to create black flames; the black flame itself is not the result of two different natures with Katon merely involved. The black flame is, what is created if you use the technique which is named Amaterasu. Itachi is not able to use the Enton, only Sasuke, as he featured a far more advanced version from what we've seen from Amaterasu. Therefore, Enton was shown to be used with the exact other eye than with the one that casts Amaterasu.

You are irritated by the fact that the flames have a black appearance, while the color of the flames is not necessarily an indicator that it could belong to another nature than Katon. We've already witnessed the usage of black lightning for example, which on the other hand proves the fact that the color itself of the techniques is not necessarily an indicator for the nature which was used - a logical conclusion.

When comparing both the Amaterasu and Enton, we can notice that Sasuke focuses his left eye on the object which he wants to set on fire immediately, while he explicitly uses the Enton with the other eye when he suddenly creates the flames at his own range and uses shape manipulation.

If you remember the fight of Sasuke against A back than, where Sasuke suddenly set on fire the ribcage of his Susanoo without aiming at a specific location, we can conclude only one thing:

Enton is an advanced nature Kekkei Kenkai consisting of Katon and Inton, with Inton being the factor that, as it was defined, creates form out of nothing and thus perfectly suites the fact that Sasuke, when using Enton, is able to create those flames out of nothing, while Amaterasu on the other hand is a separate technique which allows you to create those black flames on another way, by focusing his eye at a specific spot. Amaterasu is not Enton. Consider that Enton is not a mere combination of Katon and Inton, as he uses it with his Dojutsu and controls the black flames only, so I would rather say it is a combination of Amaterasu AND Inton, shown to be used with the other eye than Amaterasu itself.

Other than that, there is no logical combination of natures which would result in those black flames and can only be used with the Mangekyo Sharingan. --Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 11:56, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * while he explicitly uses the Enton with the other eye - thiswas never stated and is the reason we're discussing this. Seelentau 愛議 12:01, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

I can show various scans where Sasuke was using Enton-Based techniques explicitly with the right eye. While the question remains what Enton itself is, it is safe to say that the techniques which are based on this nature are used with the right eye, as he is explicitly using Kagutsuchi with the right eye, which, on the other hand, is an Enton-based technique.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 12:11, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * He does the form manipulation with his right eye, which has not been attributed to Enton. Seelentau 愛議 12:16, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * This. It could even be seen. He first made black flames in his hand and only then used Kagatsuchi to modify them. If that weren't true, Kishimoto would have reversed the two panels, with the top one showing eye focus on his hand and the bottom one showing black flames getting created.--Elveonora (talk) 12:25, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Anyway, I also want to point out one thing guys, that especially SaisT was stressing on constantly. Amaterasu being Blaze Release pretty much resolves the "3 eye techniques" thing. Since Sasuke himself suggested to possess only 3, because of that people started to speculate that Sasuke can't have Tsukuyomi, since he already has Amaterasu, Blaze and Susanoo. Well, now there's room for the Tsukuyomi which he indeed has ^_--Elveonora (talk) 12:27, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Not precisely. Sasuke was shown to use Enton: Kagutsuchi synchronous with Naruto, who used the Rasengan. And this Kagutsuchi included the appearance of the flames as well. How can you anyway say that the shape manipulation is not attributed to the Enton, when Kagutsuchi, which does the shape manipulation, is an Enton-based technique? --Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 12:33, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like you are correct about that. But then that may mean that Seel is right about right-eye manipulation not even being Enton.--Elveonora (talk) 12:45, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * @Yata, can you provide any instance of Sasuke using his right eye to create the flames and yelling/thinking "Enton: Kagatsuchi" simultaneously to prove your point?--Elveonora (talk) 12:47, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * The right-eye manipulation is Kagutsuchi, as Sasuke called it Kagutsuchi when he started to manipulate the black flames, and C later referred to this shape manipulation and stated that Sasuke used his right eye to do that. And Kagutsuchi is, as I said, an Enton-based Jutsu as we probably agree, as he calls it Enton: Kagutsuchi.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 12:57, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Yes. You need to look at the page 12 of chapter 641, when the only instance that was shown, was Sasuke, who created those black flames in his hand while running towards Obito and calling it Enton: Kagutsuchi, in the next panel showing to use the right eye. There was no separate panel shown of Sasuke creating those flames, he suddenly hold them in his hand while calling it "Enton: Kagutsuchi", synchronous with Naruto, who made the same with the Rasengan. Not without reason, Kishimoto always illustrated the usage of Enton as something which creates the black flames out of nothing and practicing shape manipulation. Sasuke was never shown to use his left eye to use Amaterasu, before shaping them with the other eye.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 12:57, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * What you're doing is attributing characteristic Z to jutsu X, because jutsu Y, which stems from jutsu X, has characteristic Z. What you're ignoring is that it's possible that characteristic Z is a feat of jutsu Y only. For example is the wind nature of Futon: Rasengan a characteristic of exactly that jutsu. By your logic, it would be a characteristic of the normal Rasengan, too. Seelentau 愛議 12:49, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * What you probably don't understand is, that the Enton is an own nature which results in various techniques that are based on this nature, whether it is Kagutsuchi or weapons of black flames. When I recall your example, the more correct example would be to say, that both the Fuuton: Rasengan and Fuuton: Rasenshuriken are techniques which are based on Fuuton, as Kagutsuchi is based on the Enton. Logically, you would ascribe both the Fuuton: Rasengan and Fuuton: Rasenshuriken to the Fuuton itself, as I ascribe the Kagutsuchi to the Enton element. And if Kagutsuchi results from Sasuke's right eye, the Enton itself must also be something that is originated from that eye.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 13:05, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, if I take your example, this is what you're doing: You have Futon: Rasen Shuriken and its ability to cut things on a microcellular level. By your logic, Futon itself has this ability too, since one of its jutsu has it. But that's obviously not true, not every Futonjutsu cuts on that level. Seelentau 愛議 13:11, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

@Yatara, as I said, he was shown using the eye in another panel after already holding the flame and announcing Enton: Kagatsuchi. I asked for evidence that Enton: Kagatsuchi = manipulation of black flames with right eye. What I believe I and Seel are getting at, is that Enton: Kagatsuch = black flames created from body parts other than the eyes, while the manipulation with the eye afterwards is something else. For example when Sasuke used his eye to make the shield/armor of black flames, he didn't announce Kagatsuchi--Elveonora (talk) 13:28, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

In chapter 632 when he does the whip, he is looking forwards also, not at his hand. Same when he shoots arrow of black flames with Susanoo, he calls it Kagatsuchi without modifying anything--Elveonora (talk) 13:39, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Elveonora, look at the first page of the chapter 464. It is clearly shown that Sasuke closes his left eye and is focusing his right one the flames to change their form, calling it "Enton: Kagutsuchi". C, at page 7 refers to exactly this moment and says, that Sasuke changes the shape of the flames with his right eye. And in the first page you can clearly see how Sasuke is manipulating the form with his right eye.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 13:42, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Even if you are correct, why do you conclude that Amaterasu which just happens to be a black Fire Release and something what looks the same just happens to be another nature? Isn't it more logical for Amaterasu to also be Blaze? Since when another nature is used to control a nature?--Elveonora (talk) 13:52, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * @Elveonora, in my opinion, the Enton serves as an alternate source to create these flames, alternatively to Amaterasu. I believe, that the Enton is an advanced nature which consists of Amaterasu and Inton and is unlocked with the Dojutsu. Why do I think of Inton? The Inton wouldn't change the properties of the black flames but only allow Sasuke to create them by another way than Amaterasu does; by letting them appear at a spot he's not aiming at, for example to set on fire the ribcage of his Susanoo, what he did against A. As Inton is known to create form out of nothing. It doesn't matter that the flames are of black color, this is a special fire that is used by a Dojutsu. We also saw black lightning which is still lightning, so why can't there be black flames which are still Katon? Of what nature can you think that makes flames black? I remember you that Raiton is the only element left to create an advcanced nature with Katon.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 14:05, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Another question if Amaterasu was an Enton Jutsu. Why is Sasuke using only Amaterasu with his left eye, while the rest of the Enton-Based techniques is used only with the right (or at least not with the left) one? Why are all Enton-techniques called Enton but not Amaterasu?--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 14:05, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. Fire+Lightning is yet to be revealed. For your question, that's the thing, he used Enton: Kagatsuchi as a whip from his hand, therefore not the right eye. Do you really think Kishimoto would draw him looking forward twice and in the first instance have him look at his hand only after holding the flame and having already proclaimed the name of the technique just because? For the rest, I could ask the same thing even if Amaterasu isn't Enton but just Katon, that why isn't it called Fire Release: Amatarasu. Also:


 * if Enton is Amaterasu(Fire)+Inton and Inton is what controls the Amaterasu, then saying that Enton: Kagatsuchi equals the control basically says it to be the only Enton technique. I find it very unlikely that Kishimoto would make a one-purpose nature.
 * it hasn't ever been suggested that Inton or Yoton can be combined with anything else but each other to make Onmyoton. Also Yin-Yang release combines kanji of Yin and Yang releases. So why would the combination of one of the basic five natures (say fire) with either yin or yang (in this case yin) be 炎 rather than 火陰 ?--Elveonora (talk) 14:21, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Seems like Seele and I are coming to a conclusion slowly. We are on the right path.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 14:22, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I hope so. But I find it very unlikely that all Enton does is give Amaterasu shape. That's very one-purpose to be a nature. Why couldn't he just add basic shape transformation to Amaterasu rather than shaping it with Yin?--Elveonora (talk) 14:37, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Seele had the idea, that both Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi are Enton-Based Ninjutsu with the left eye being the one that casts Amaterasu and the right one that casts Kagutsuchi. That sums up. But I can't think of any other nature than Inton, that makes up Enton. The black flames consist of the same material as Katon, fire is fire. But why is this flame black?--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 14:49, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Inton creates shape and form out of nothing, as it was explained. Inton is the "Darkstyle" and we know that Uchiha are the one who are not only using masterful Katon, but have also powerful spiritual energy (the Inton, while the Senju have the Yoton). Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi are not only black flames. They appear from nothing. Unlike any other Katon, which the user would normally spit out of his mouth, Amaterasu creates those black flames at any point Sasuke aims at, while Kagutsuchi creates the flames at his own range even without aiming, while also shaping them. And due to the Inton being "Darkstyle", the flame appear in a black color. Both Sasuke and Itachi possess Enton and Tsukuyomi (still curious about latter), with Itachi being the one that uses the powerful Genjutsu (time manipulation) and weak Enton (only Amaterasu) and Sasuke the "weak" Genjutsu but strong Enton (shape manipulation). That's indeed a very interesting idea.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 14:49, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Glad that we are now on common ground. Also Susanoo too, Sasuke's use is seemingly better (perfect Susanoo) but Itachi's has Yata Mirror and Totsuka to compensate. Each of them is better at the other thing. But even tho it's all good and all, the majority of the editors will have to agree too--Elveonora (talk) 14:59, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that you can achieve the perfect Susanoo after obtaining the Eternal Mangekyo. Even Itach said you would obtain true power once you did awake those eyes. Basically, the EMS are the same eyes as MS only with eternal light. But I think that the fact, that you don't lose light and the strain of using this techniques is as good as vanished, you are able to perform Susanoo to such magnitudes.--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 15:05, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Itachi - the strongest Genjutsu Sasuke - the strongest Enton Madara - the strongest Susanoo

That's what I think. :)--Yatagarasu-Kagutsuchi (talk) 15:05, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

D: I leave this topic alone for a few hours and it's completely regressed! Guys, please, no Nature Release has ever been distinguished by the Shape Transformation that is applied to it. Nature Release = Nature Transformation. All the ocular power of Sasuke's right eye, Kagutsuchi, does is apply Shape Transformation to the prior established Nature Transformation. That's all. Kagutsuchi is prefixed with Enton because that is what Sasuke has dubbed the black flames, not what they are becoming as he manipulates them.

Kagutsuchi is the Shape Transformation to Amaterasu's Nature Transformation; the left eye creates the Enton, while the right grants free reign over it. Two cornerstones of chakra manipulation being represented by each ocular power.

Again, Amaterasu has never looked, or functioned like normal Katon. It's not just it's black appearance, it's the fact that it continues to burn for an entire week; no simple Katon has that kind of longevity. That black flame is an advanced Nature Release, and Kishimoto can still get away with calling it a "Katon" years ago by leaving that as one of it's catalyst Nature Transformations. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 15:50, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Outside of Enton: Kagutsuchi
Has the term "Enton" ever been used outside of technique names? Seelentau 愛議 23:28, March 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Besides Sasuke commending Gaara for successfully defending against his Enton back at the Kage Summit, it has always been used as the prefix for Kagutsuchi. Unfortunately, Sasuke has never identified the black flames cast by Amaterasu alone as "Enton", which was the irrefutable proof I was looking for to resolve the dispute that went on in the prior topic.


 * Looks like sound logical reasoning went on ahead and you guys didn't need it in the end, though. :P —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 01:47, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Omg... why haven't we noticed this earlier? Sasuke throws Amaterasu at Gaara's sand and names it Enton and we never concluded that Amaterasu is a technique used through Enton? Really? Wow... Seelentau 愛議 11:34, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Because it wasn't just Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi was being used. On the succeeding page, you'll see a ball of Enton floating above Sasuke; the flames that were thrown before were likely coming from that. To substantiate that, the flames that made contact with Gaara's sand had weight behind them, they were pushing into Gaara's sand upon contact, not simply being lit up on it. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 11:41, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
