Try and keep up the databook entry makes it clear shape manipulation isnt soley A rank and has various levels as examples are given by Kishi himself.
Only your bad level of comprehension would read that and translate it into meaning there are levels.
This is the best comeback. Kilin is natural lightning, is manipulating nature jutsu of regular level (Hinata's)?

Black panther(not sure) and Kisame's ninjutsu aren't generated by the hands so to bring them is a joke.
We're discussing change in chakra form generated from the hands not other parts??. Bring relevant examples please not fallacious ones. Hinata's and Kakashi's are generated from the hands and 1 is C rank although it has change in form and nature so we know what rank an animal form is from the same body part.
Yet another pathetic reply.
- Shape transformation bro. Kirin didn't take the shape of a dragon until Sasuke was connected to the lightning via chakra.

Kishi through DB: Depending on the users skill
and how he manifests it, Ninjutsu can change shapes
I really couldn't care less at your attempts to manipulate facts.
It hits it's opponents with deadly fangs yet causes no damage. Jinrou logic

I hate to break it to you but lightning element jutsu have a secondary effect which involves paralysing / numbing an opponent. Secondly there's no mention of only purpose in the scan I provided even if there was deadly fangs would negate that claim. The fact is not all form manipulation is A rank the pinacle of form manipulation (rasengan) is A rank confimred.
And you making your own conditions that power makes a Jutsu A rank is fallacious at best unless you have a manga statement or datbook statement supporting such claims.
Rebuttal would have made sense if Chidori stream whose main purpose was to seize movement wasn't point blank said to cause damage as well [

Bold.. And yet you are confident CC determines the rank a technique gets without proof of your own and which wouldn't even make sense as that logic would imply;
-

and

should be ranked higher than C
- Walking on Trees would be between A and S rank
- Rasengan on its own should be ranked S since transformation doesn't get any better and
- Gai and Lee's techniques shouldn't have ranks.
And before you start whining about comparisons, Shape transformation is still very much Chakra control. So unless you have valid reasons with proof as to why techniques that use shape transformation are ranked based on cc but other techniques aren't ranked based on cc, stay your fanfic.
Christ. Debating with a wall would be better tbh.
