So did they ever explain if Lee not being able to use Nin/Genjutsu, was a disability or just him being a whiny shit who only wanted to study Taijutsu because "muh talent
It's because the writer made him that way.
Hard work beats genetic talent
Kill yourself Narutard
>>285171641>i wasnt able to use magic spells in kindergarten so ill give up on it immediately and foreverIt sounds very out of character
Success is 99% luck
>>285172168Luck is 99% hard work
>>285172583Hard work is 99% genetics
How I look when I hear someone say anime sucks
>>285172594Genetics is 99% success
>>285171641It's because all ninja are descendants of Kaguya. He just wasn't I assume, like most normal people.
>>285173326wait is this true? I thought everyone had chakra and the potential to use it for ninja stuff
>>285172005You mean generic talent
>>285173326Not everyone is related to Kaguya, but anyone with weird mutations like gills or alien eyeballs is. Humans don't naturally have snake eyes like Orochimaru or bloodline powers like Haku's ice mirrors or Kimimaro's bone manipulation. Those are from Kaguya's lineage because her genetics are all freaky from integrating genetic information from earth and other worlds then introducing that into the human genome about 1,000 years ago. >>285174275Everyone and every animal has a chakra network but most humans and animals are not capable of molding the spiritual and physical energy into chakra. So Rock Lee is in a tier of superhumans for having chakra available to him but at the bottom rung for not being able to manipulate it enough to perform ninjutsu or genjutsu. He puts all his training into the 6 gates because he can still train his chakra network and force its limiters open.
>>285172005Not in Naruto lolNaruto is part of a super special bloodline, the Kyuubi jinchuuriki and the reincarnation of the fucking Hindu god AsuraAll of the other most powerful characters are Senju and UchihaThis series is nepobaby monarchist trash
rich family >>>>>>>>>talent + effort >> just effort > talent and no effort
>>285175692This. Naruto is basically a Korean manhwa with how much bloodline wankery there is
>>285175613Hagoromo literally says Naruto didn’t inherit anything from the Uzumaki bloodline.
>>285175771The huge chakra pool?
>>285175835It’s all due to Kurama, their chakra is interwoven
>>285175771Naruto still inherited the god tier Namikaze bloodline
>>285175977>namikaze bloodlineStop reading fanfic, this wasn’t a thing
There's nothing physically preventing him from using ninjutsu or genjutsu, he just sucks so badly at them that there's no point in trying to learn them.
>>285175537Hagoromo gave everyone chakra. All beings are capable of using ninjutsu, it's just a matter of learning how.
>>285176095That can't quite be true because chakra is composed of a synthesis that not everyone has the capacity to manipulate. He couldn't 'give everyone chakra' because they still have to put it together inside themselves from mental and bodily constituents. What he would have done is unlock the precursor to chakra in people which would be the spiritual or physical components (basically improving chi flow) but everything else is dependent on how strong they are as a being.
>>285175613Might Guy is the second-strongest character in the series by the end and has precisely zero special bloodline traits or inheritance.
>>285176526Through a power-up that ultimately accomplished nothing, and left him in a wheelchair for life (would be dead if NaruJesus didn't heal him)
Rock Lee was the only one of his peers to master taijutsu and obtain gates. He clearly had a natural affinity for it, even Kakashi points it out
>>285176526By using a technique only him, his family and his one student that looks exactly like him can learn.
>>285176526he pretty clearly wasn't the first "Azure Beast of Konoha". The uniform and training for opening the gates came from someone
>>285176649he was emulating his father, who sucked at being a ninja and was a genin for his entire life. he wanted to accomplish what his father couldn't. >>285176647because he was the only one reckless enough to bother with it. most people saw it as too risky to bother learning. it had nothing to do with it being only something he could learn.
>>285176772Neji, who was a super genius that learned secret hyuga techniques from sight, and Tenten could not learn to open the gates when guy taught them. Everyone not bothering to learn a technique that practically on its own can make you the strongest in the world would just be another plot hole at best. Even if the elites don't learn it because its self destructive, every mid tier should.
>>285175692Put social skills somewhere between rich family and talent + effort
>>285176864I always assumed might guy was a jackass who didnt even try to teach Neji (much less tenten) about the gates, he seemed quite confused about it when Lee opened the 3rd gate
>>285177138Someone recently posted a page from the manga where all 3 of them tried it and Guy concludes something like "in the end only Lee could do it".
>>285177088>sasjeet
>>285176864it's a forbidden jutsu and therefore technically illegal to teach. Guy only gets away with it because of Plot Armour.
>>285172005Only when genetic talent doesn’t put in any effort whatsoever.
>>285177169Kakashi also said that Lee is a genius, because what he achieved isn't something that can be achieved through hard work alone
>>285179021It's kinda funny how schizophrenic Kishis writing on hard work vs genius is, because he does everything for aesthetic purposes and like the underdog thing, but he likes chosen geniuses even more.
Go back to plebbit with this narutard shit.
>>285179079If anything he unintentionally proved the whole talent/hard work dichotomy is retarded to begin with. They don’t exist without the other, just look at professional athletes
Hard work VS talent is one of the themes Kishimoto forgot about (as early as the second chapter, Naruto says "there are no shortcuts"), along with "every generation surpasses the previous one"
>>285179217I'd agree that dichotomy is unstable (idk if that's the best word), but I don't think I can fully agree that they can't exist without the other. If you want to succeed at the highest level you need both, but it's also very possible to work very hard and never get to a top level.I think Kishis writing is too nonsensical and disconnected to really explore that kind of stuff, even if unintentional.
>>285179217Except most people who try to become professional athletes fail and come out of it with nothing but wasted time and money, whereas in a battle shonen universe, there's zero downside or opportunity cost to training to improve your powers and skills.
