It's kinda off-topic, but I agree with you. All those blood-line abilities and jutsu tricks for me are just like fireworks. We recently had the chance to see on the anime the battle between Oro and the 3rd. The 3rd and also Enma left more than clear what's to be a ninja is all about.Originally posted by: MemnochTheCaT
In my opinion, the Mange Sharingan technique is a cheap and blatant ripoff of Midou Ban's 'Evil Eye' technique, and it was done 10x cooler in Get Backers.
Orochimaru can even attain his goal of getting all the jutsus. He will never be powerful, because that's not what makes a ninja powerful.
