Would you rather start off as the average Shinobi and then build yourself towards greatness through hard work or instead be gifted and have a Dojutsu that helps put you at a advantage above your peers and keep building yourself through that? Basically would you rather be Rock Lee or Sasuke in terms of success and ethic

It's basically would you want to be Sakura or Rock Lee
Sakura=Talent- very smart, able to get jutsu correct the first time, perfect chakra control

or
Rock Lee= Hardwork-colorful way of thinking (dumb), has to work hard to achieve his feats, no chakra control,

I'd rather be her, she is a much better example than Sasuke

Well in the manga being born gifted shit stomps any amount of hard work.

Personally i'd rather be like lee, Earn my strength thought hard work rather than being spoon fed strength because of destiny/heritage

Rock Lee has no skill. He has to work for it. He has dignity. No one can say that he has been given power ups or some special ability since birth. No one can be rock lee.

Sasuke has natural skill. There are many uchihas with the same skill. Sasuke without his clan powers is useless.

:what::what::what::what::what::what::what::what:

sasuke not have work hard he is natural shinob ned no practice
Sasuke did work. He trained hard for a month to master Chidori. Kakashi said it was hard work. Then he did it again with Orochimaru. Really, this affects both mains. Naruto mastered Sage Jutsu in a couple weeks whereas it took Jiraiya several years to do that. He also mastered Rasengan in a couple days. The problem with Sasuke is that Kishimoto never shows him training.

OP: I'd want to do both.

What I find funny is that back in Part 1, hard work was pretty much seen to be enough to even match those who were born gifted.

Then we have Kabuto stating in Part 2 that those without talent are nothing in the Shinobi world, so they will just have to steal talent from those who have it....:|

Being gifted is better than being hardworking, the strongest Shinobi as of now were gifted and that is why they are the strongest.

-Hashirama
-Madara
-Naruto
-Sasuke
-Obito

etc.
