Naruto Shippuuden Episode 40-41

[Yukimura]

Lol Abdula I make an effort to read all your posts but can't you at least try not to repeat yourself so much? You made your point demonstrating that DarthEnder's logic was flawed in like 3-4 paragraphs and then just tacked on 2-3 more that didn't really add anything other than "omg you fail extra hard for thinking that".

@Darth Ender: Neji can release chakra from any of his chakra points thanks to training in the Gentle Fist style, as well as use the Byakugan. However neither that nor any of the things you mentioned are examples of a character having multiple natural abilities which I think is what Abdula meant.

So far we haven't seen or heard of anyone who has two different abilities that are intrinsic to their DNA other than the First. However there is no reason I can think of why a person shouldn't be able to have two. Since we don't know for sure one way or the other there's nothing wrong with the theory that maybe the Wood element and the bijuu control are related to each other, but there is no evidence to either support or disprove it. Because of that there are no grounds to either defend it or try to convince others it's the right theory. Lack of another example is certainly not an effective defense. Garaa was the only thing that disproved the theory that Naruto was the only person to ever have a demon sealed inside them and until Shippuuden.

And as to the whole Hokage strength thing, when they said that back in episode one I don't think they meant strongest in terms of the "this ninja could absolutely kick the ass out of every single ninja in the village in a fight" sense. It was probably more along the lines of this ninja could hold their own if not dominate any enemy of the village, and the people of the village respect them and recognize their abilities, and they have enough leadership ability to lead the village, and they have enough statesmanship ability to kowtow with the heads of other villages and keep things smooth between them, and they hold the village and its ideals above all else and so on. Oro might have been a more deadly fighter than the Fourth back when he was passed over for Hokage, but if the Hokage was chosen based on just strength of combat prowess you could end up with a psycho Hokage who would be horrible as a leader but could kill anyone who disagreed with him.
