Ylone wrote: wut? so you mean that he can simply light himself on fire with the amaterasu? No. Using amaterasu to burn something is not the same as using it defensively. Itachi V Sasuke: the amaterasu blocked access to the battlefield, requiring Yamato to actually deal with it.

Itachi / Sasuke v Kabuto: Amaterasu is used to form a perimeter.

Ylone wrote: So, if that were the case, how many times would their techniques have to clash to form the cumulonimbi required for kirin? Impossible to tell. My guess is not much more than Itachi's Amaterasu. So maybe two Amaterasu attacks? Ylone wrote: Don't tell me now that steam is a better source of heat than fire itself. Note that we are talking about a fictional universe. Where do you think the heat comes from, and where do you think the heat goes?

Ylone wrote: And it is not like Tobirama would stand still when the fog forms just to watch sasuke's talk-no-jutsu before trying to use Kirin. He'd try his speedblitzing method. Why would sasuke talk against Tobirama? he made it a point to tell people who wronged him that they wronged him. He made his peace with the Hokage during the Four Edo Kage plot. He won't speak. He can call down Kirin while shrouded in Susanoo.

Ylone wrote: Yup. What's restraining tobirama from using multiple shadow clones just to mark sasuke? What's preventing sasuke from destroying said clones with, say, a Susanoo sword slash?

It'll always come down to Tobirama having to get close to Sasuke, where Sasuke is strongest
