Btw, whoever said all of these recent fights only consist of Taijutsu is because: those fights consist only of Genins! Genins don't even suppose to know how to preform ninjutsu; Sasuke is one of the few special case. Kakashi even praised Saskue for able to use ninjutsu as a genin when they first met. (Uhh... the 'get the two little bells' and pass the test)
no.........

all ninjas are taught ninjutsu and genjutsu at the academy. In fact naruto's final exam was bunshin no jutsu, which is a genjutsu. It's also been said that its extremely rare for a ninja to exist that isnt capable of performing ninjutsu or genjutsu (that being lee).

kakashi was surprised sasuke was able to perform fire ninjutsu, which is a higher level than what most of the other genins can perform.

And naruto and sasuke DID use other jutsus in their fight.......naruto used kage bunshin when he was falling, and sasuke used fire to lure naruto in a trap. They also both used rasengan and chidori. But it was established from fighting that none of those were very effective.
