* ''[[Naruto]]''. God, Naruto! I mean, a world filled with jutsu and he cares to learn only THREE (Toad Summoning, Rasengan and Shadow Clones) and improve himself in only the second. Not to mention the fact that, despite seeing the power of Elemental-based Ninjutsu (He even nagged Kakashi to teach him Chidori after Naruto saw Sasuke use it), he never actually cares on learning his own elemental power until Kakashi mentioned it, 2 years in as a ninja. Averted completely by Sasuke, who creates, uses, and recreates his own jutsu many times and tries to explore them to their full potential. Given, he is the analytical, cold, and rational type, while Naruto is the emotional, soft, and irrational type who just kicks and goes with the trail the ball makes. Made worse if you note that he is host to a demon that gives him virtually unlimited chakra, so one would expect him to explore it, rather than acknowledge and ignore it afterwards. |

** Played straight with Sakura, pre- and post-time skip. After all her talk on wanting to get stronger and stop depending on others, she barely has any jutsu to fight, with her [[Super Strength]] being her ONLY battle-useful strength. Mind you, this is a world with people who can blow you away from blocks away with fireballs, wind gushes, earthquakes, thunderstorms and other such destructive powers, and Sakura, being the apprentice of one of the greatest ninjas of this world, cares only for medic skills and Super-strength. Like, even Kabuto, the Evil Medic Ninja, is more effective in the battlefield than she is. Which is probably why she ends up as a [[ |

*** Being less effective than [[Dragon Ascendant|Kabuto]] isn't any disgrace; he turns out to be one of the deadliest fighters in the entire manga. The problem is that Sakura has barely learned enough to be better than the average [[Red Shirt|nameless fodder ninja]]. For example, she's the only one of the main trio who ''didn't'' bother to learn her Sannin master's [[Summon Magic|summon jutsu]]. |
