It would be a drastic change in Naruto's embodying persona to give him an ability like that now and would more diminish him as a worthwhile character than not. Besides, his father was the best of the best and he (by all reasonable accounts) didn't rely on a kekkei genkai. Don't stop short on Naruto too soon. He will impress us soon enough.

I agree...Naruto is yet to show his true abilities...and when he does...BANG!!!
we will be left speechless...believe it.

its so much funny that he cant get rid of kyubi, that will crack the story , and he musnt use kyubi according to yamatoo...what will happen to poor kyubi?

[^_Usagi_^]

Huh? Isn't Kyuubi enough?

I say no

[Siege]

i agree that giving naruto a bloodlimit is another Overpowering (Like the God Suits in Gundam Seed Destiny)

but currently Naruto cannot compete against Sas-God (CS2 + Oro's Healing Abilities + Sharingan + MS(Speculatory Until Suigetsu is Killed) + Chidori + Chidori Nightmare or whatever he's calling what he did to itachi's Crow Clone) Or Itach-Me (Sharingan + MS + Unholy Speed + Amaterasu + Tsuykiomi + Genjustu Pointing)

Naruto's BloodLimit Should and could possibly be something based around the fourths Body Flicker just the RAW speed

Both uzu and uzumaki translate as whirlpool.

That´s a point.
But Kyuubi´s abillities are just so boring. It gives naruto just more power, not any kind of strategic opportunities.
Naruto really needs to get some tactics in his fight. Pein, Itachi etc are enemies, who cannot just be "BOOOMED" to death.
A bloodline limit maybe would give naruto some more abilities, which would make his fights a lot more interesting.

[MysticNinjaJay]

Naruto would have to be the dumbest ninja in history to have not discovered his bloodline limit at his age while every other character in the series used some of their powers as Genin.

Haku had no clue that he had an advanced bloodline yet it came to him instinctively.

I'm sure you saw Naruto vs Haku & Naruto vs Sasuke & maybe you saw Naruto vs Orochimaru

The Bijuu in every Jinchuuriki that we've seen only offers its power to the user (not intelligence), more than likely because, if a Jinchuuriki over uses the Bijuu's powers the Bijuu will more than likely escape from its prison or take full control of the user (container).

But to stay on topic, the Kyuubi did give Naruto some strategic opportunities, the only problem with that is that it can mainly depend on the Jinchuuriki's intelligence in combination with the Bijuu's intelligence (I'm leaving room for possibility). I said it like that because, Sasuke vs Naruto, the Bijuu (Kyuubi) actually acted on its own to attack Sasuke while Naruto would be attacking, so that fight was like having 1 1/2 vs 1 since Kyuubi couldn't fully act on his own but could fight with its own will.

To add to that, the combination of Naruto and Kyuubi, they gained all fields, close-range combat, mid-range combat, and long-range combat. Naruto's character is not like Nara Shikamaru where he'll use his brains to beat you in a corner. Naruto is more of a barbarian when it comes to fighting he uses brute force and close to mid range combat. Anyone should know that a long range fighter will have more of a strategy b/c more or less they're taking there time and waiting for the moment to properly attack. Garaa, Temari, and Shikamaru, have long range combat skills and are all patient in combat, measuring there ability to win, studying they're opponent without getting hurt or too hurt in the process to strike back.

Naruto is what he is, so accept it or choose some other character (truth be told Naruto isn't that smart and niether is the Kyuubi for that matter)

[nubby]

Naruto will also have to confront the Kyuubi before the story ends so he can't just rely solely on the Kyuubi for power. What becomes of Naruto when he loses the Kyuubi?

[ZGoten]

Lol, I wasn´t trying to say, that Naruto needs to fight like Shikamaru with brain and stuff.....

It´s just that he lacks possibilities to attack or defend himself. All he does in battle is Shadow Clones -> Rasengan....He needs to develope some more techincs to come up with.

Thats all I intended to say.

I see, but his Kage Buushin's has been a tactical advantage he's used in many cases almost 90% of his fights.

Neji in the first series or vs Kakashi in the second series

Naruto uses Kage Buushin to confuse his opponents (Chuunin Exam)

I understand though, you're saying you're tired of seeing the basis of Naruto's combat skills and he should have something more as in something like Katen that Neji but if you wait, Naruto will have more Jutsus for sure (that's what he preached so much, more training more jutsus)

He has the new version of Rasingan, he's learning more about shape manipulation but understand in Naruto most people don't have that many jutsus unless you're Kakashi or a very experienced shinobi and Naruto still kinda dumb but is becoming smarter day to day it seems and more witty.

If he was able to do alot now he'd be boring latter b/c he would know too much, I think it's nice to see him use what he has instead of having a move or moves that would just counter his opponent.

Keeping him how he is just keeps him as a underdog still. But I get you

Yes, I too think he will become a more "flexible" shinobi in future.
Especially vs. Itachi we saw some improvements of Naruto.

He is a vessel for a demon that was put inside of him against his own volition. You talk about Kyuubi as if it has no negative setbacks. He's been ridiculed all his life for it, using it can shorten his lifespan and there are people out there set on capturing him to extract it from him and kill him. Steroids? Get real son. Despite all these shitty circumstances he has only ever used it in good will. He grew up a loser but hasn't amounted to anything? You're talking about the protagonist who is now probably stronger than all other former Konoha genin with some exceptions being Sasuke, perhaps Neji and Shikamaru. Kakashi himself has stated that Naruto has surpassed him, though maybe not in the sense of leadership, wit, or sensibility but definitely in terms of ability. Give credit where credit is due.

Spoiler for manga:

I was just thinking, since Naruto is the son of the Minato Namekaze and Kushina Uzumaki, and since they are from diferent countries and villages, and we also learn from the manga that she was a ninja. Then maybe when Naruto will find out he will want to go and find out everything about them. If so then he can learn jutsus from both Konoha and the village or clan his mother was from. This way he can learn more jutsu and come on, I mean since he is the son of the Fourth and Kushina Uzumaki, surelly he can learn some jutsus that only they knew.

I also think that he should at least have a personalized weapon, I mean almost everyone has something (Sakura's gloves, Kakashi's gloves, Rock Lee's weights, Gai's ninchaks(possibely misspealed it), Sasuke's sword, Choji's armor, Kiba and Akamaru, Shikamaru and Asuna's knives(I believe they belong to him now), Sai's paintings and ink,etc.) I mean it's about time he had his own weapon, maybe a the sword of his father or at least his kunais, or something that belonged to his mother. It would make him look really sharp.

[shadowyondaime]

If his family of pein it would be cool if he can activate his cirkel kinda eyes maybe its some kinda kekkai jutsu.

if its confirmed that his father is namikaze my thoery or questions is that He got family in konoha ( naruto ) maybe parents of minato since minato isnt that old I would say taht they should naturally be living but well dunno lol I just hope some1 pops out that is if tsunade is plannign on telling him and im not sure she will ( at least when hes back really bad injured maybe ) or else no.

[pizzajincuuriki]

not trying to be a smartass or anything, but it is spelled nunchaku or just nunchuks as far as I know. And yes, a weapon would be hella smexy, but I dont think a sword fits naruto's fighting style. Maybe a Mace or someting and thats just not very ninja-iy, even if they do come out of TenTen's sword.
