Much the same as a person that focuses too much on work (or fantasy) as a means of escaping life, Sasuke escaped his emotions by focusing entirely on his quest for revenge (at least this is how I read his "mask"). It is only now that the original focus has passed, that his emotionless facade is crumbling, and true full emotions (like grief and compassion) are being shown (rage is definitely an emotion, and Sasuke definitely expressed it during the Itachi fight, but, I admit, I was focusing on more personable emotions that the audience can relate to rather than the darker emotions that Sasuke was focusing on).

Lastly there can be a big difference between a jinchuuriki and a biju in terms of power, would Sasuke kill kyuubi? No, probably not (amaterasu or no amaterasu). |

I'm still not convinced that its logical for Amaterasu to one-shot Hachibi. Sure, it may have been named after a sun goddess, but that doesn't make it a 'flame of the gods' (because lets face it, that would mean Madara and Sasuke wield god-like powers, which I'm pretty sure is a no-no) it's a powerfull eye technique, sure, and as a finishing move it would have been very fitting.
But to one-shot an enemy who was, untill that point, completely dominating the fight? I fear for Kyuubi. The nerf-bat shall probably smash out his teeth too. Heck, Naruto is already gaining access to a Chakra source with all the advantages of Kyuubi but without its disadvantages. Allas, my dear Bijuu, some of you I knew well, some of you I never knew at all, but it seems your tale has ended before its time had come. |

2) Itachi stopped the jutsu to save Sasuke but Sasuke had used Orochimaru's body shedding technique, so it isn't a clone shrugging it off, cos the clone was almost burnt to a crisp I mean the black flames almost destroyed the forest @Keroko The Hachibi would have no way of stopping the flames anyway so how would it not beat him? Also the Kyuubi is probably on a whole other level than the others, he might just eat the amaterasu for break fast...then he would fall into submission of the MS |

Right now its as if Amaterasu is an instant Bijuu smasher, which either makes the move ridiculously strong, or the Bijuu ridiculously weak. Since Naruto most likely will defeat Sasuke somewhere along the story, I fear it is the later. Quote:
Don't remind me. I'm still disapointed they completely downplayed Yondaime's sacrifice like that. I still can't understand how a kitsune, a master of illusions, can be controled by a pair of fancy eyes and some bloke who can control wood. The whole 'Shodaime could control Bijuu and MS can control Kyuubi' gig was perhaps the most disapointing part in Naruto. To me at least. |

Several ways, since the cloack would keep the flames from reching his body, he could expell the chakra, blasting the flames outwards. As it stands now, by taking down a Bijuu in top shape in one shot the Amaterasu has stepped up from being a powerfull technique to a technique that even surpasses a Bijuu in power. The Bijuu were supposed to be demons who's strength far surpassed what humans could ever achieve, hence why they were sealed and wars were fought over their possesion. And yet, here is a technique that can overpower one, basically making its owner, be they Sasuke, Madara, Itachi or even Kakashi if he could, stronger then a Bijuu.
This does several things: 1: It completely obliterates Yondaime's sacrifice. He died trying to seal one, while Sasuke has the abillity to take one down and come out battered, but alive. 2: It furthers the nerfing the Bijuu have been recieving since Shippuuden. They went from 'indestructible beasts of terrible might' to 'overpowered by a handfull and a few scars' (even during the Naruto/Gaara fight it was 'exploiting a weakness' not overpowering them) 3: It further raises the question "Why on earth is Akatsuki gathering Bijuu?" if they have the power to defeat them, why gather them? Why not just destroy them? 4: It makes one wonder just what relevancy Bijuu have to the plot from now on. In the first half, they were the apex of power in Naruto. Now they are captured left and right, some we only get to see a face, some we don't get to see at all. Jinchuuriki power is being replaced by Mangekyou/Sage Arts as the apex in power. |

Im sorry but this fight was one of the worst battles Ive ever seen in a manga yet...Whats with that useless emotional stuff anyway? Did the write expected us to cry or something by burning karin accidently? Another sharingan gimmick and another demon in our picnic basket.Someone should tell the guy that this tricks getting old...
Well at least its still better than Bleach weekly wrestling show...

Secondly Kyuubi is stronger, much stronger. We don't know how powerful a free Eight Tails would have been but we do know that the entire might of Konoha was only able to stop Kyuubi by sealing him away, at a terrible price. Kyuubi is composed of a raw force of concentrated demon chakra, I doubt that Amaterasu would have any impact on him and even if it did then Kyuubi would probably have some means of countering it. Pherhaps by shedding the burning bodyparts or deflecting it with a wave of chakra. Quote:

I'm however curious if Gaara still has his powers or not. |

The data book said he still has his control over sand, but there's no mention of the shield of sand. I personally think he has lost the shield, as it was being controlled by Shukaku. |

I'm not going to say Sasuke is overpowered since I can see using a ton of clones somewhow preventing the sharingan user from freely casting amaterasu at leasure, but the story writing (if this is really all there is to it) was very poor and forced.
