I mean Zetsu also talks about how fast it should be before the attack was launched so he could have been wrong he also said that at .001s it was completely unavoidable yet dying Itachi could react and activate a jutsu to it so it’s not like he’s the most reliable narrator.So Kirin is weird, Zetsu says it takes .001s for the bolt to hit the ground, which from the cloud height is MHS+. Irl lightning is like MHS to MHS+. VIZ translates Kirin has bursting down in a flash. Sasuke even says he doesn’t do anything to the bolt of lightning, all he does is guide it. However, the raws use the kanji for light speed. So take that as you will. You can argue it’s lightning speed because it’s natural lightning bolt and the characters describe it as such, or you can argue it’s light speed because the databook speaks from the perspective of an omniscient narrator (in relation to that point in the story) which would be less fallible than characters. Definitely a wacky case.
