Please post what you're talking about when you say "In fact manipulation of Yin and Yang is stated as the basis of ordinary, non-elemental jutsu." Do you have some retcon out of the new databook because that doesn't make any sense at all.

Naruto asked about specialized jutsu (shadow manipulation, size control, medical ninjutsu), not "ordinary" ninjutsu. [Yamato talked about "quality of control of yin and yang]." Shikamaru even alludes to "[specialized chakra]," while fighting Tayuya, likening hers to his own.

Rasengan is ordinary ninjutsu. Bunshin and Kage Bunshin are ordinary ninjutsu. Naruto is not manipulating (what you refer to as altering ratios of yin to yang) Yin and Yang at all. He didn't even know what that was.
