In almost every debate I've seen in these forums, It's usually the manga, then the anime if it doesn't contradict the manga, and then somewhat the databooks, but not relying on those too much for obvious reasons.

I don't see too much mention of novel only stuff, especially since there's some odd feats in there.

Didn't Itachi kill his lady with Tsukuyomi in the novels? Yet Itachi didn't think to use that ability ever anywhere else, and the anime implies there was only one clan capable who had a member every few generations who could kill with Genjutsu? I mean, Itachi could have used it on Danzo, he could have used it on Obito, etc.

Also, apparently in the novels, Kakashi's purple lightning can summon rainclouds when shot into the sky. That seems ridiculously powerful and a little outside the realm of Kakashi's reserves, if I'm being honest. And Kakashi is absolutely my favourite character.

Novels seem kind of dubious at best in terms of feats, so I don't usually see them used as a sources. But that's why I asked if we're using them here lol
