Welcome to Gaia! ::

Is there a question in there, or...?

I mean, as far as the last bit goes, it depends. Developing a new use or even a slight adaptation for an existing technique I think would be alright. Inventing a new technique in the middle of a fight, though, is just absurd.

Example: Westly has a move called Peacock Flare. It allows him to perform an illusory copy of another technique. The main weakness to it is that the illusion is highly unstable and very easy to dispel. In the middle of a fight, Westly realizes that if he uses Peacock Flare to mimic "Desert Coffin" or any other hold, it essentially makes the illusion harder to dispel... because Genjutsu-Kai requires a handseal and the target's ARMS are pinned to their side. This is fine.

Example: Westly can use his illusions to muddle people's perceptions slightly. By adapting the principles of this to a bit of trivia, he improvises a
Genjutsu that mimics motion camouflage to cover a Taijutsu attack. He already had all the pieces to that technique, he's just assembling them on the battlefield. Shaky, possibly a slippery slope, but nothing inherently wrong with this.

Example: Westly throws a lake at his opponent. Sure, he's a water-nin, but he never really learned how to manipulate Water directly, and he has nowhere NEAR enough Chakra. This is wrong.

*stares at shin* you must have a very odd sense of humor 0.o...

Anyway, I don't think there's anything to be added to Ipalla's and Althor's way of thinking. They're to smart for me xD

I was laughing about what Ipalla had stated about the "overpowered techniques"




And I do not think I ever done a form of earth bending.

It was dirt and mud, I did not say Stone. But it is my fault for not explaining the length of it instead of just putting “Giant”; I was being lazy so sue me.

Oh god just tell the damn joke! xd

People try to fight power with power. I think people feel that if someone creates some powerful technique the next will try and create another powerful technique, then its a endless cycle.

I think the main flaw in your argument is using "genin" and "master" in the same sentence.

Sure, Aona's a trap specialist, but she knows other techniques. Atsuma knows techniques that aren't Genjutsu. And so on. They might even know, say, seven different things. They're just specialists because out of those seven different things, they have ONE of them in which they are more or less unmatched. Genin simply haven't had the time to practice any one particular ability to the point where they excel at it more than everything else.

Take Westly, for example. Genjutsu specialist, sure... except he's also a mist-nin, dabbles in traps and seals, is undergoing MEDICAL training, and he's no slouch in the taijutsu department. In fact, the only thing he's terrible at is flashy elemental techniques. But you see, he's a Genin. Between now and Jounin, his Genjutsu is probably going to develop the most, and all the other things are probably only going to get slightly better, leaving him as a "specialist".
