This chapter might give us a better idea of what Kishimoto has planned for his usual end of the year spectacular. He almost always has a big fight going on and a major cliffhanger to be settled after the three week break.
2009 - It was the Sasuke vs Danzou fight. The cliffhanger before the new year was Itachi's ghost showing up(well not really) during the fight. 2008 - Pain destroys Konoha. Still Kishi's best work until he ruined it. The cliffhanger was Naruto arriving. 2007 - Sasuke vs Itachi. The cliffhanger was Sasuke stabbing Itachi. 2006 - Team 10 vs. the Zombie Twins. The cliffhanger was Shikamaru vs Hidan. So I expect the first division of the main Alliance army to start their fight in chapter 522 and Naruto to have completed his training to setup the looong tease for Naruto vs Sasuke. And hopefully we have out first major character death in the war. Please be Kirabi. |

At any rate, Naruto had plenty of time to "break the habit" during the three year training. Quote:

-More resources spent = more options in battle. And when it comes fown to life or death, I doubt saving that one sliver of chakra for later will matter. Personally, if it'll save my life, I will use my ultra-special-nitro bomb I was saving for the big baddie when there is no other option.

In this instance, I tend to agree. The best teachers in the series (either shown through actual moments where a student is learning something, or just by results) are Gai and Tsunade (they did turn their zeroes into heroes...okay Lee was never a hero, but he was once beyond zero, so will forgive him a little). All the other teachers, though, never seem to actually do any teaching (Kakashi did give Sasuke the Chidori and Lightning training, so I'll give him credit for that...otherwise not much else). They form complex emotional bonds with their students, but we never really see any actual evidence that the students have learned anything specific from them besides some basics (tree climbing).

-So to conclude to the point and breaking the wall-o-text there, what most ninja need 10 jutsu in order to complete their objective, Naruto basically just needs 1 and that one jutsu he does is going to be a doozy. Its not about how many jutsu you happen to know off hand, but how you use them. And Naruto seems to use his staples very well.

I like the fan idea that Minato was creating the rasengan for Kushina to use since she couldn't use the biju ball. It would be another cute element to their relationship. And he did owe her for the sealing jutsu she probably taught him.
As for the other discussion, all the rookies pretty much use one jutsu and various forms of that jutsu. So why did we expect Naruto to have countless amounts of jutsu? Most of it would be a waste.

Sasuke has 10 times more ninjutsu and his taijutsu looks cooler... sasuke can use 2 different elements, naruto uses 0 elemental techniques.. (rasengshuuriken is just a throwing rasengan...) Sasuke has cool powers from his sharingan: seeing the opponent's movements before they do themselfs, copying techniques.. Sasuke can use genjutsu Sasuke used different summonings... Hawks AND snakes.. Sasuke's taijutsu varies because he sometimes uses a sword and sometimes doesn't... sasuke has 3 awesome totally different looking techniques from his mangekyo sharingan + he gets 1 more for Eternal mangekyo sharingan.... Naruto only does: Rasengan, clone, Chou Oodama Rasengan, Clone, Wind-rasengan, Clone, Clone, Clone, Bijuu Rasengan....' I loved it when jiraiya said: '' there is only one thing that matters if you are a shinobi, and it isn't the number of jutsu you possess. All you do need, is the guts to never give up.'' And its true that naruto uses the same techniques in different ways everytime.. Its very inovative.. But in my opinion kishi has still taken this just one step too far. |

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... Hah. Naruto has never shown a very easy disposition to training. He had to find a creative way to make Rasengan work, he had to be pushed into a huge pit to get Kuchiyose right. His training on Rasen Shuriken needed a few thousand clones and advice from three different jounin's, his training on Sage jutsu got him completely beat up by the toad's stick. The only thing that broke continuity was the first jutsu he learned: Kage Bunshin. Otherwise he's been hopeless. He's a single-minded guy, I don't see him as the type to use different jutsu the way Kakashi or Sasuke do. That's just not Naruto. I'm happy when he comes up with a Shadow Rasen Shuriken on a big bad, because that's about how much versatility I want on him. |

I agree Lee is awesome. Sakura is still a zero. Though I agree Tsunade is a great teacher. Also I will add I can't blame Sakura for Kishi's blatant sexism against her even though she is the heroine.
