A lot of characters have jutsus that are unique to them, that is his. The only thing that bothers me is how a lot of characters cant seem to use ANY jutsu besides versions of their 1 jutsu. Shikamaru is supposed to be a genius, but never once have I seen him do anything besides techniques that involve shadows. If he is so smart why cant he use a huge arsenal of combat jutsus. Kakashi uses a lot of regular jutsus, yeah he has a sharingan to copy them, but a lot of jutsus can be learned without a sharingan. And as for the shadow techniques, how come anyone cant use them? They aren't a kekkai genkai, so why cant anyone learn them. All of the Konoha 11 always just use the same moves over and over and over and its dumb, every other ninja in the series uses a wide range of techniques besides them. Like Tenten has probably never performed a jutsu once, she just spins around waving scrolls and has weapons come flying out, but never once backs her weapons up with ninjutsu, which would make her way less useless. Ant the level the bad guys are at in this series, kunai aren't going to do a damn thing against any of them, so Kishi needs to step it up on character development.
