Eliminating those Amaterasu flames just now should have consumed a great deal of ocular power. But why was there no particularly strong reaction now?
His Chakra was even quite abundant, without the intermittent sluggishness of Chakra that came from heavily using the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power.
