Sasuke’s Kirin is very strong, what preparation conditions are needed?

In Naruto, in order to defeat his brother Itachi, Sasuke not only practiced hard with Orochimaru, but also developed many powerful ninjutsu, including the Thunder Kirin. This move is extremely powerful. If it is faced head-on Hitting the enemy will cause serious injuries even if the enemy dies. The strange thing is that Sasuke used this move twice in the main movie of Naruto, once when fighting Itachi and once when fighting Naruto. Although he is so strong, he doesn't use it very much. It's really frustrating. People are confused. Since Kirin is so powerful, why didn't Sasuke use it later?

Before answering this question, there are a few things we need to understand first.

First, what kind of move is Qilin.

Kirin is called the ultimate ninjutsu of thunder escape in "The Book of Masters". Its advantages are obvious, it is powerful and has a wide range. Because it uses the thunder and lightning of nature, it consumes chakra. Few, and its speed is very fast, making it difficult for enemies to dodge. Its weakness is that it requires the cooperation of natural weather (when Sasuke used it, he used his fire escape to create the corresponding weather), and this move requires the blood wheel eye to clearly see the speed and flow of thunder and lightning before it can be successfully used. Generally speaking, This move is qualified as an S-level ninjutsu, but there are too many restrictions on its use, and you must have a blood wheel eye to use it, otherwise it will set yourself on fire and be directly chopped into dregs by lightning.

Second, how does Kirin perform in battle.

The Kirin move only appears twice in the main chapter of Naruto, once in the duel between Sasuke and Itachi, and once in the duel between Sasuke and Naruto. Let's take a look at the first time, when Sasuke and Itachi fought. Both of them used fire escape. Unknowingly, the heat of the fire escape affected the sky. Itachi's Amaterasu and Sasuke's dragon fire blast shot into the sky. The technique produced updrafts, which in turn formed cumulonimbus clouds, and finally resulted in lightning strikes. Moreover, the performer had to stand at a high place, otherwise it would not work.

From the above point of view, it is not difficult to find that this move is really very complicated, and it is very difficult to use it in combat. The most important thing is that Sasuke worked hard to get it. This move was easily blocked by Itachi's Susanoo. I still remember that when I saw Sasuke's move, I only had one feeling, that is, this move is so cool and powerful, and then there was nothing more. This introduced the ultimate move for half an episode, and was directly blocked by Susanoo. , causing no harm to Itachi at all.

The second time it appeared was when Sasuke had a final fight with Naruto in the Valley of the End. Before the Kirin launched in this battle, Sasuke also used a large number of Fire Release and Fire Release, and the results also followed. The same thing happened when he used it for the first time. The egg was useless and was easily blocked by Naruto's tailed beast coat. Fortunately, this move didn't require too much chakra, otherwise Sasuke would lose blood. Kirin is so powerful, why does Sasuke hardly use it in the later stages?

①. Qilin needs the help of celestial phenomena, and it is too troublesome to activate.

Through the above description, everyone must be very clear about this. The conditions for Qilin to activate are too harsh. Unless there is a thunderstorm, it will be too troublesome to use this trick. You must first Preheat with Fire Release. And if you keep using fire escape, your enemies will inevitably notice it, which is a waste of chakra. When fighting Itachi, because both brothers used fire escape, Itachi didn't notice it; while Naruto and Sasuke didn't notice it. In this battle, it was even more embarrassing. It was normal not to notice it. Besides, with Naruto's strength, even if he was discovered, he would not stop it. After all, this move could not hurt him. And Sasuke is not a fool. This technique has such great restrictions, so he naturally knows very well when it should be used and when it should not be used.

②. Sasuke has a better Amaterasu and Susanoo.

When Sasuke developed the Kirin, there was no Mangekyō Blood Ring Eye, and he could only rely on his own Fire Release and Thunder Release, so he developed the Chidori Style, Kirin and other ninjutsu. After defeating Itachi, Sasuke finally awakened the Mangekyō Blood Ring Eye. Not only did he possess the extremely destructive Amaterasu, he also slowly mastered the Susanoo. In these two moves, Amaterasu's destructive power is no less than that of Kirin, and it is also Sustained damage, the most important thing is that it is not as troublesome as Kirin, but it can be used however you want to use it. Susanoo is both offensive and defensive. It not only has outstanding defensive capabilities, but also has extremely strong destructive power. In my opinion, Susanoo is better than Kirin in this aspect. Compared with these two moves, the Kirin developed by Sasuke himself is not worth mentioning at all. If it were me, I would definitely not use Kirin.

③. None of the enemies Sasuke encountered in the later period could be dealt with by Kirin.

Although Sasuke's Kirin is powerful, it has basically no effect on the enemies he encounters later. I also said before that Kirin has no effect on Susanoo and Tailed Beast Coat, and Sasuke encounters later The eight-tailed Kirabi who arrived has a tailed beast coat, which can perfectly defend against Kirin; some of the Five Shadows may be afraid of this move, but that battle was actually held indoors, so there was no need for Kirin at all; Danzo used Izanagi, which is equivalent to With an immortal body, the Kirin will definitely not be able to do anything to him; and the enemies further behind either have Susanoo or reincarnated bodies from the earth, and some of them even have the power of six paths. The Kirin is indeed powerful and deserves to be S-level, but After all, it is a conventional ninjutsu. It is useless against enemies that are beyond the scope of human beings. Sasuke might as well save some chakra when using it.

④. The Kirin’s attack range is too large and it is easy to accidentally injure teammates.

We all know that Kirin's attack range is very large. If you are not careful, your teammates will be involved, and it may even affect yourself. The only two times it is used in the anime are both in 1V1. In this situation, whether dealing with Itachi or Naruto, although Sasuke has disowned his relatives in the later period and killing teammates is a routine operation, he still has some self-awareness and knows that he cannot defeat all enemies by himself, so he needs to rely on the strength of these partners , he couldn't kill them too, so he didn't use Kirin's large-scale attack skills.

Summary: The Kirin is so powerful, but Sasuke doesn’t use it much in the later stage. First, because the activation conditions of the Kirin are too harsh, even Sasuke is too lazy to use it. After all, he has to figure out how to activate it from the beginning of the battle; second, This is because Sasuke has learned skills such as Amaterasu Susanoo, which are not only as powerful as Kirin, but also much more convenient to use than Kirin; thirdly, because the enemies Sasuke faces later are not afraid of Kirin, or they can perfectly defend against Kirin. , or has an immortal body; fourth, because the Kirin has a large attack range, it is easy to accidentally injure teammates. Although Sasuke doesn't care about their life or death, he still needs to use them to defeat stronger enemies.
