Really? Lol, I thought it was a perfect example. Taking away from the ranking assigned by Kishi, because a technique is only as valuable as the person performing it, it is very popular within ou community and technically hard to come by, in the sense that it actually should not be so common. The Uchiha are dead and yet it remains the most used technique. Why? It is like I said, most users do not think much of it. There is no forethought that goes into the decision of addin more techniques.

Also, breathing fire is breathin fire. I especially chose this as an example because, while there are many variations, such as the dragon flame jutsu and the flame bullet, they have the same function, which is breathing fire.

So why is it then, that a character must have all these techniques encompassing the same feature added as a jutsu? They accomplish the same darn thing.

That is why I used it as an example.
