I refuse to believe in a complete blueprint, just some aspects.Kakashi can copy (learn the blueprint) and teach it.
-and the transfusion thing is my little blue hope. don't wreck it Elessar!!!
And I will wreck it. It will be a great pleasure.
Well, the OF is out of question, he was attacked with it. I am quite sure he recognized that 72h of agony.3. Mangekyou
But I still maintain he knows OF, and knows HOW it's done.
For the HOW... he has seen it, yes. But I doubt he could see what causes this development of the eye. Quite sure he knows the chakra mixture one needs to perform Tsukijomi, but I doubt out of seeing the development state of the sharingan he can conclude what has to be done to get it to that point.
As Raijin said, Orochimaru has used Kage Bunshins. And in what fight would a shadowclone have come handy to Jiraiya? Against Kisame and Itachi in that small corridor? Or against Orochimaru on top of Gamabunta's head?4. copying Kage Bushin from Naruto
Jiraiya and Orochimaru have not performed Kage Buushin even though it comes in handy. In fact, orochimaru prefers his "kawarimi clay" over the use of buushins altogether.
And for the earth clone kawarimari, it is a kawarimari not a real clone. A shadowclone would have cost a lot more chakra and provided no advantage in that situation. Orochimaru controlled the fight, he had no need for distraction. The earth thing was wise, a shadowclone in that situation dumb.
Not Kage Bunshin was classified, but a scroll with tons of jutsus - kage bunshin being one of them.Between 4th => Kakashi, Kage buushin was banned. And at the time up till its banishment, Kakashi didn't have his Sharingan eye to help him expedite the learning process. The scroll isn't just classified. It is forbidden. No one can see it.
kakashi is #1 perhaps. But it does not mean he knows everything. Can all S class criminals perform Kage buushin even though they're in tons of handbooks shared by all countries? No - Orochimaru is a good example.
And I will continue to use classified, we had that in earlier discussions.
The scroll contains as far as we know a great amount of konohas high level jutsus. Completely not using them would weaken konoha to a large extent. Therefor this scroll is classified - with reaching a certain level and reputation limited and observed access to it is granted or the particular jutsus inside it taught.
The scroll is restricted from public because the jutsus in it are very powerful and access to them should be controlled. Like none of the jounins is angry because the others taught the gates, chidori or rasengan - they just think [now] that the genins aren't ready yet for such powerful jutsus. The main reason why the scroll is classified is - that was our result at that time - that the seal that was used on Naruto is described in it and by studying the sealing jutsu someone could find a way to undo it and unleash the demon fox.
I regard the choice of the word "forbidden" at that point as highly dramatic but with no actual meaning.
Orochimaru - see the one above.
First of all, teaching lotus is teaching gates. You didn't know that as you said later in these quotes, so no problem.6. Gates from Lee
- It is a last joker. Even Gai made a rule never to perform it unless "protecting someone important."
- Gai knows the gates, but his ability to perform isn't certain - although I feel he probably does know it. He didn't plan on teaching his group the gates, until they could perform the first lotus - which Lee was the only one that accomplished.
- Gai and Kakashi are rivals. Lee and Neji are rivals. Was Lee going to tell Neji about his gates and his "move to defeat" him? No. That would seem to point that Gai wouldn't tell Kakashi either.
I remember Gai saying that he taught his group the lotus but Lee was the only one who could accomplish it. And I remember the image of the team besides these huge logs and only Lee's split in half. Lee has no reason to not tell Neji about the gates, Neji stood next to him when he did the initial lotus. And I refuse that house Hyuuga -- the masters of chakra flow manipulation -- do not know about the gates and their functions. Even if Neji is branch, he is Hinata's bodyguard and of what use is a good-for-nothing bodyguard?
In the manga it is just a picture of Kakashi's face with wide open eyes.7. Climb the mountain
- focus one's mind would just be a picture of their face .. like:
Sakura does "kai"
Sasuke does "foot concentration to catch Kunai"
Naruto does same to his feet to water walk.
It is the primary reason for it. Although destructive itself, that damage is neglectible compared to secondary lotus. And to pave the road to that is the most important effect of it.Initial lotus is a forceful way to open gate one? I didn't know that - but I'll check...
He isn't in his prima any more [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] So maybe he needs to concentrate to do what he did with ease some years ago. Requiring an open gate would mean he decreased in a level that he should have a wheelchair by now.Anyways, if it was simple concentration for Kakashi, they wouldn't even need to show his face for it, let alone a close up of his brain. He is a jounin. The opening of a gate is the only thing I can think of that would require a Jounin to focus, especially if the Jounin had just learned it a week ago.
