I get the point that Skika is making. I mean the power of the 8 gates is something equal to the kekkei genkai. If you want to learn it you would need to give up everything (everything would be equal to the hard work Lee put in to do the 8 gates). So the kekkei genkai is something you are born with. The 8 gates is a testament of hard work. To acquire either one you would have to give up everything. It makes sense.
Those that want to keep there current power shouldn't complain about being bored. Your only other choice would be if there is a option for those people that what to kill Oro 24 times a day and be seen as superior, but those peeps are just cowardly because they fear starting over and losing all their so called uber strength power and dks.
To bad get over it
Imagine how powerful Neji would make those things to balance out the loss...
I know what you mean. The kekkei genkai better be worth what I am able to give up.
I don't understand why I have to give up something like dks to learn the 8 gates.
I'll work hard now and learn it. Someone strong can't learn something to make them stronger?
Guess I should give up on rasengan because I'll have to start over as a academy student.
If I wanted the sharingan, I would go kill a Uchiha and rip his eyes out after I kill him.
Although I'll be unable to use it at full potential like Kakashi, but there is the body transfer technique.
Edit:
What takes someone a lifetime to learn may take me a month.
People don't learn at the same rate.
Fourth took 3 years to learn rasengan. Naruto took a few months.
SPOILER?
Naruto can use mass kage bushin to learn jutsus in days.
