But you really don't need any creativity or effort to come up with a thousand more ridiculously overpowered and unbalanced abilities. Unbalanced and overpowered abilities are as creative as the non overpowered ones(the bijudama is as creative as the shadow clone jutsu), with the former abilities Kishimoto still bothered to come up with the mechanism behind said overpowered abilities and how they work. Well... when I look at abilities like the Chakra Scalpel and compare it to abilities like the Tailed Beast Ball, I must say I have very hard time how the Bijūdama is any way creative. It's basically just a big explosion with the only function to blow up the entire place. There's no big idea behind it. It's powerful, nearly impossible to avoid when fully charged and entirely unbalances. I would even go as far as to say that everyone could come up such a simple concept. The Chakra Scalpel on the other hand has a bigger idea behind it. It can't be blindly used without proper medical knowledge. It's in its very own way complex. There must be a strategy behind it. It can't just be used as an ability to just blow up everyone around you. It is a balanced, diverse and creative. I also find the rotation system of the regular Rasengan interesting. But I don't see any creativity in just coming up with bigger Rasengans with elemental powers and god knows what else they add to it.
