Welcome to Gaia! ::

I see the point that you're bringing up Wood and yeah I don't like using the "because I said so" reasoning. It does nothing but piss people off. I should know because my parents use it on me all the time. But enough of me getting off topic let me get back to answering your question buddy.

Limiting Bloodlines to villages would do nothing but piss people off an provide too many restrictions with character to a point were things would be inefficient and a complete nuissance. We would have to create so many bloodlines and balance out their powers which would be time consuming and would lead to many people not wanting to join. That is the reason as to why we do not limit bloodlines.

Now as far as the taijutsu styles, this village only styles are meant to be some secret, something special for each of the villages. It is something that a village will be able to claim as their own and use against others in battle. The taijutsu styles are suppose to be something to provide incentive but they aren't always because most people do not think about such things before making their character which leads to arguments such as this one. But it does make people think "Damn I wish I could be in that village because I want that style and I'll raise hell until I get it!" Prime example, you. xD

And I know it would seem like Konoha would have an unfair advantage but they really don't. Honestly in POTS they are the second weakest village their is. The only reason they aren't the weakest is because of all the s**t I've done to Kumo.

and I suppose it does prevent people from attempting stupid s**t like combining Kakuzu's stitching with say... A sharingan.

That is what I mean. Thats an answer thats just like "Because I said so."
Things cant improve if theya re not open to criticism.
I did not say you followed them or did not follow them exactly. I'm saying that if you are going to use reasoning like that, then it is gonna have to apply to everything else as well, or I will not accept it.

Yet again, I did not say you were being canon.
And once again you are using a "Because I said so" answer.
Saying you want a village to be unique is the same as saying you want to give it pull factors, FYI.
Something tells me that you either haven't read or haven't understood what I've been saying this whole time. -.-
I understand that each has their signature thing, but konoha's is the only one that doesn't FIT as its signature thing. That and its not even a real style.

Lets get to the point. 8 Gates remains a Konoha only style. Discussion ended.

@Mistah: Well obviously I did not notice it. I did not have any reason to look for it, and I have nothing to do with Kumo, so it wouldn't make any sense if I did.

@Greg: You cannot improve without criticism, and simply ending a discussion without a proper conclusion is like a small child saying "It's mine and you cant have it" then running away and hiding.

I'm not saying its mine. I'm not even a konoha ninja. I'm just ending this because I know the end result, and I'm tired of this thread being clogged by the same problem.

Kiri has sand on its beaches, but no one has figured out how to perform sunaton. Magnetism surely exists everywhere, but only Kumo has found out how to use that with taijutsu. Grass exists in many places, but only those of Kusagakure can perform kusaton. Sound is the most widespread of them all, being everywhere all the time (except in a vacuum, like a black hole, not a claning vacuum). So it's not impossible to say that everyone possesses eight chakra gates, but only the scientists (or whoever finds this stuff out) of konoha have discovered how to override these gates and use the effects for enhanced taijutsu.
