Minato is in most Top 10 list of every category somehow someway, yet he doesn't possess that many jutsu.

You wanna know why?

Ok, come closer...

closer...

closer...

handseals are stupid

Nah but for real though, its much easier to generate a rasengan than form seals which is why Naruto stuck to that one jutsu for much of the series.

Handseals leave you defenseless

I disagree, versatility is better than specialization

Handseal time for Itachi was actually no big deal.

:Sparks: Shall I post scan? I believe Minato could've possibly mirrored Itachi's hand speed. Both are in my top 3 Favorites.

I think the real reason is that if you know a lot of techniques it makes you nore versatile but you may not master everything. Jack of all trades master of none you know. On the other hand onlyb
Knowing one techniques makes you good too but you become a one trick pony really.

Better chakra control can lead to not using hand seals....blame their fodderness

You don't need to form seals when you master a ninjutsu, Sasuke has the talent to reach that level with his copy technique, but of course he won't use copy jutsu because the author knows it's too haxx with VoTE 2 being the best example.

Seals and their effects and derived techniques should have been a bigger part of the series

I mean, they're not exactly irrelevant, but like, they really are more interesting and useful within the context of battles

Eagle Bear Dog whatever isn't really all that cool

So loading a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun against a killer in your house with a knife is always better?

i hope u don't miss

How da hell does that relate to anything in this thread?

think about it:

the advantage of using jutsu that doesn't require handseals allows u to engage an opponent much quicker like using a knife against somehow who would have to use handseals which require time to produce, like loading a shotgun

in other words,

Rasengan can be used quickly but you have to be close (knife)

Water Dragon takes time to weave but once executed it'll be very effective (shotgun)

There should be a lot more elemental jutsu and matrix fuinjutsu complexity.

Nope, the shot gun user could have a hand gun or a knife as well, that's versatility

The bad thing about having so many jutsu is that you might not be able to make up your mind on what jutsu to use in certain situations.

Top ninja barely use any handseal at all and their tech are mostly hidden/secret mean requires at least some hidden knowlegde to able to cast.
Jiraiya active barrier by clap his feet or wave his hair
Rasengan is a secret tech that requires the knowlegde behind + highest form of shaping - mean using other jutsu is pretty useless when u have the best
Top ninja are also clever using handseal without let the enemy notice...
