In Naruto Shippuden episode 147, a technique used by the ANBU forces of
Kirigakure called Kirisame no Jutsu made rain fall down that absorbed chakra,
and dissolved Naruto's Rasengan, Utakata's Soap Bubble Ninjutsu and Sai's
Ninpo: Choju Giga. Considering Amaterasu can't be extinguished with water, but
this water absorbs chakra and other people's techniques, can the Kirisame no
Jutsu technique extinguish the flames of the Amaterasu?

Can the Kirisame no Jutsu extinguish the flames of Amaterasu?


This is unknown. This jutsu has never canonically been applied against
Amaterasu, so there is no way to either affirm or rebut claims on either side.

As
@[Rumpelstiltskin](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/42685/rumpelstiltskin)
mentioned in the comments,

> Amaterasu cause the jutsu itself is a form of chakra.

Amaterasu can practically only be stopped, if one, sealed, as Jiraiya did. Or,
if absorbed. It will also extinguish if it passes its time limit of seven days
and seven nights.

> Amaterasu cannot be extinguished but sealed.

Taken from Quora page: [What would Jiraiya do if Amaterasu hit
him?](https://www.quora.com/What-would-Jiraiya-do-if-Amaterasu-hit-him-Would-
he-have-enough-time-to-take-out-his-scroll-perform-seals-and-seal-the-flames)

And, Amaterasu can also be defeated by absorbing jutsu, as Madara has shown
when Sasuke cast Amaterasu on him. Although most of the flames were
concentrated to his armor, he managed to remove it by taking his armor off and
absorbing the rest of the Amaterasu with the Rinnegan's [_Preta
Path._](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Preta_Path)

The wiki also explains that:

> The Preta Path (餓鬼道, Gakidō) **grants the user the ability to absorb chakra
> in any form**. ... This ability is primarily defensive in nature as it is
> capable of absorbing chakra from an individual through physical contact.
> (emphasis my own)

Any jutsu that can absorb jutsu ideally can absorb jutsu / dissolve any justu
should be able to absorb Amaterasu, whether the technique used to dissolve the
jutsu is made of water would not be much of relevance, as it can still absorb
jutsu. Thus, it is likely that the [Secret Technique: Mist
Rain](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Secret_Technique:_Mist_Rain) can
absorb/dissolve Amaterasu.

But as @[Makoto](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/102/makoto) mentioned
in _his own answer,_ this jutsu has never been applied to Amaterasu
canonically, but in theory this should be possible.
