So why can't a kekkei tota sharingan exist with 4 tomoe and kekkei genkai copying abilities? Kekkei genkai don't HAVE to be nature transformation types every single time right? That's like saying all mammals have to be cats because cats are mammals. (Though I prefer rabbits.) And if all kekkei genkai are like magnet and scorch release, then what the flipping heck is shikotsumyaku??? That's what I addressed in my comment. A Kekkei Genkai is just an ability that is restricted to a person's genes. But nothing suggests what that ability has to entail. That's why there are different kind of Kekkei Genkai, because there are different kind of people. You can have a Kekkei Genkai that effects your nature transformation ability, hence the result being something like Lava Release. Or you can have one that effects your physical body, hence the result being something like Shikotsumyaku. It all just depends on what your genetic code is.
