Kishimoto established at the start of the series skill stats for each of the characters consisting of taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, strength, speed, intelligence, stamina and hand seals, going up to a max of five in each category. I understood and accepted these stats in the beginning, however, as things began to develop further and more radically, they began to become too vague and small for me. At the start of part 2/shippuuden I belive it was. As a result, I decided to make my own statistic chart with more vivid descriptions and a max of ten. That wasn't the end though, eventually things became even more overpowered and I raised it to fifteen and added things such as senjutsu, doujutsu, jutsu resilience, expertise and technique number, etc. This was between the hunt for itachi and the war arc I believe.

So my question is, when did the techniques, skills and power levels of the characters begin to exceed Kishimoto's statistic concept as well as your own comprehension, if at all? Give me a moment to make a poll.

I only thought Kishi should've added a Kenjutsu/Weapons category. A senjutsu category wouldn't make sense because the only ones able to do that is Madara, Hashirama, Naruto, Minato, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hagoromo, Anko, Sakon+Ukon, Tayuys, Kimimaro, Kidomaru, Jirobo, Jugo, and Sasuke. On one else can.

The stats as they are now is good enough.

The new 9tails mode and the sharengun/rinnigan evolution and the Edo tensi abilities... So I guess the war arch.

I thunk you mean bukijutsu (weapons), and yes I added that as well. Those are a lot of characters who possess senjutsu.

I agree. That arc didn't have much in the way of plot or drawn out fights, but kyuubi Naruto destroying the burdge and hurling Orochimaru across the forest was up there lols. Along with Orochimaru pulling himself back together after being cut in half and shedding his skin, not to mention, as you said, the condensed bijuu dama as well as Sasuke's body flicker, chidori nagashi and infiltrating Naruto's mind and suppressing Kurama. They actually made the part where they finally find him the prologue to shippuden and when I first saw it after not seeing new eps of the series for two years, I about fell out of my chair with how epic it was lol, dynamic, monologues, soundtrack and animation in all.

The Pein Invasion, when Pein destroyed an entire village with one jutsu.

That is officially when the series stopped being about ninjas and became DBZ-lite.
