I believe, if the fight was long enough, using Izanami would be rather useful to apply if it was applied at the best time. Though, with most fights aiming to end after two-three posts, the concept of the technique can't really be applied since I believe it would at least take about five-six turns to use for this sole goal...

I disagree. A loop can be as long as two minutes or as short as five seconds:

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanami

The user must then intentionally replicate the same sensation and in the same way, memorise that instant with their Sharingan (represented as: A'). Izanami overlaps and connects these two identical bodily sensations (A and A'), as well as the flow of time between them, creating an infinite loop of events that entraps the opponent's consciousness. The user can also use their Sharingan to remember multiple sensations, (represented as B, C and so forth) and those sensations will also be used when Izanami is activated.

To properly use Izanami, to my understanding, all the user has to do is survive roughly a turn or two of active combat against thier opponent, at the bare minimum. As you said, more turns and more sensations would lead to a longer loop, but time seems to progress differently in the Izanami than it does in the real world. Since Izanami does not require eye contact, the jutsu can be cast at an almost infinite range at almost any time after the visual recording begins, making it useful at the beginning of a the setup for a finishing move; if the target is an Uchiha and attempts to use Izanagi, then Izanami would be have to be used prior to the opponent's activation of Izanagi (so the turn of the finisher, where Izanami could hold their mind in a loop while the attack does them in).

The opponent might try to use Izanagi in the mind, but it's a bit late then. This is my understanding of how the jutsu works.

Interestingly, I cannot find a thread on the forum where we had an extensive conversation about just Izanami. Which is weird for a technique so commonly voided.

Yeah, but there's no real distinction of time passed in a fight, unless explicably stated by one of the fighters. In which it'll usually state as, 'This entire thing took only a second' or 'because of the instantaneous nature...' to state a few personal examples.

Unless the user walked into the fight with the intent of using Izanami since the beginning, which I don't see an IC reason of doing such. What with the loss of the eye scenario, using either so early in the fight is a gamble. Which is why the fight would have to be longer. The longer the fight, the more likely the Sharingan user is to being used to their opponent's fighting style or way of moving (whether it be physical or emotional) since they would need to copy one of those moments exactly.

Though, in the canon, I don't completely understand what the problem was concerning Izanagi. Much like it's counterpart, using the technique causes the eye to go blind. Abusing something like this, by creating a technique which can cause your own eye to go blind? That's dumb. I'd let them go blind, they only get two uses. If they want to go blind, that's on them. If they need to survive to gain the upper hand, that's just strategy.

Though the notion of transplanting the technique into their eye in the event of their death is an amazing form of strategy, especially if the opponent was forced to use a lot of their chakra to do so... yes, good idea indeed. >.>

Blind until Six Paths Chakra hacks turn it un-blind and evolves it into a Rinnegan.

Would this mean that Uchiha with the Six Paths Chakra would be immune to going blind?

[Warren]

No, because progression to rinnegan merely remodels the eye to restore the lost sight, there is no 'chakra hax'. Even if one acknowledges izanagi and -nami still working on a rinnegan after that, it'd just go blind again after.

I don't mind a combination of Izanagi and Eight Gates Released Formation, if the actions are performed correctly and are not messed up in any way. Why? Well, If you need both techniques in order to 'tank' me, then that means I was winning up to the point that this 'trump card' was thrown into the ring. 

I always point out that the latter end ups cooking your body, chakra, organs and everything in between; in exchange for a transformation of incredible power. This means if you go EGRF then proceed to waste the turns for this power-up to end, before using Izanagi; it will be a no-go. I mean think about it, you can't waste an eye if it becoming cooked due to your own chakra being enhanced to the point that you'll become ash after the state is over. [Izanagi -> EGRF -> Turn count -> ?]

Camel tried to do it against bocc and it just kinda flopped. If I am remembering correctly. So people just kinda voided it from there based on that.

As for Izanami? Like Rusaku said, I tried to pull this move off and even had a discussion with the alleged person that I actually cast it it--there was nothing but doubt and giggles that I couldn't even attempt to do it in an IC fashion--which to me is all the motivation I need to pull this off. But I pulled it off in five turns and I was actually planning to kill Bocchiere off for good; the guy even admitted that this move caught him off-guard and basically 'good game. well played'

Stupidly instead of going through with the plan of villain killing another villain, I decided to waste a turn brooding with my character and kill him afterwards. This was my mistake, because you see this is SL. Izanami works differently here than it does in the actual series. So this is were the 'flop' came and it was made that all you had to was accept *who* you really are on the inside, thus ending the technique on you. But with an extra change in your character's personality due the conflicts in the time-loop.(think Kabuto here.)

Which is why some are reluctant to perform the technique, after seeing my grand display, lulz. But performing the technique was more of a 'challenge' to me and I can say that I managed to pull it off, but not contain the adversary within it long enough like Itachi did.

[Kage]

Technically one could Izanagi or Transcription Seal: Izanagi their way out of death from anything. Even if your body is consumed and obliterated in explosions from six billion explosive tags, activating Izanagi erases any sort of death scenario. It's all based on the Creation of All Things Technique really. Though for not being the Hagoromo Otsutsuki himself, who possessed the Six Paths Sage Chakra, the cost for anybody else who uses it is a Sharingan. A filler part of the anime even shows a single Uchiha using it to resurrect himself and some of his nearby clan members in battle. Though that would be a highly debatable feat in itself.

No, because progression to rinnegan merely remodels the eye to restore the lost sight, there is no 'chakra hax'. Even if one acknowledges izanagi and -nami still working on a rinnegan after that, it'd just go blind again after.

Yeah, I'm not sure if gaining the Rinnegan would unblind the Iza-techs. I know it does so for regular overuse of the Mangekyo. Though, I guess Kage could find this if I'm wrong about it.

P.S. Nobody told me Madara just snatched the sh*t out of Kakashi's eye! I was like, Got DAMN, that was intense as hell!

[Warren]

@Jay Rinnegan does unblind an izanagi'd eye, as seen with Madara, because unlike sharingan which is an activated state the rinnegan is a base state of the eye, so once you achieve the evolution upon obtaining rikudou chakra the chakra will remodel even a izanagi/-nami -blinded eye into the rinnegan.

Well Madara could change state back and fourth, as seen here when he uses one of his clones to put A into a genjutsu with his Mangekyou Sharingan.
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/588/8

This actually makes things even worse, since theoretically you could now just revert to your Mangekyou, use Izanagi, go blind, just revert back to Rinnegan to restore it, and then repeat. If anything, there could just be a cool-down on being able to use your Mangekyou and it's abilities after going blind in it from this process. Like maybe a week or a month.

Or only be able to use Izanagi that one time only ever to balance the scales with that eye shifting.

If not, then at least a documented year's time must pass before being able to use it again.

[Warren]

No, should just be if you izanagi then you say goodbye to that eye, regardless of whether its sharingan, rinnegan or you have chakra of the king of the universe, and evolution to rinnegan will only bring it back that one time when you initially gain it, iza again and the eyes gone for good.
