I was just wondering recently if there was any way to make Elemental ninjutsu relevant with there being chakra avatars and ninjutsu absorption. For stuff like water, earth, and fire, I just can't see it having any real effect anymore.

The only thing I could think of is the giant chakra avatars using large scale ninjutsu, like when Sasuke used chidori with his Susanoo, but then fights would just consist of giant humanoids fighting similarly to normal ninja battles on a larger scale, then when the user's chakra runs out and the avatars crumble it just becomes a regular scale battle.

I could see lightning still being relevant because to make lightning more potent you just have to increase the concentration of chakra, but fire can't really be improved in quality past a certain point. Water is useless because it's too slow and this is the same thing with Earth.

The last thing I wanted to note is that stuff like chakra cloaks and chakra avatars remove the defensive use of water ninjutsu and earth ninjutsu, making things like the water wall, earth spear, and earth wall useless.

So I was just wondering if there was any way that future battles on a larger, EOS scale could be made to have more variety, like the earlier fights in the series did. I'm sort of getting tired of seeing giant humanoids all the time.

That's exactly Naruto's downfall as a series.

Back then it was about strategy and quick thinking as well as elemental jutsu and other interesting techniques.

Yeah, I was just wondering if it's still possible to rectify that.

I like Naruto's Rasenshuriken when he infused the Bijuu's chakra to add elements to it, but I wish we got to actually see different effects, rather than just giant spheres of explosion. In the case of the Enton sword and Raiton sword, I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to say.

I really do hope we get to see a return to basics once Boruto manga stops ripping of the movie. Naruto did have a slow but dramatic shift of tone as the series progressed.

That's part of the main reason Naruto was never really my favourite, always causing giant explosions but no finesse like Hashi or Sasuke. I think the only attack he ever did that wasn't an explosion was the Magnet rasengan, that technique really looked cool.

In the case of the Enton sword and Raiton sword, I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to say.

He's able to use ninjutsu with his avatar. He was shown using Enton sword and arrows so he can do the same with lightning

He can also mix lightning with enton so he should be able to do the same with his avatar

The problem is the godlike characters that already exist.

Uhhhh. there is elemental combined to make new elemental jutsus....that was like a big deal in most of the series. kisame water style may be "slow" but it's quantity overwhelms, earth is very supportive and fire is peaked with amaterasu. then you got elements to imbued with rank S ninjutsu like rasengan.
