I always wanted to see more 'variety'. What I mean by that is, some characters literally have a single means of combat. I'm not talking about Lee, who was written in that way... I'm talking about shinobi like Tsunade, who for all intents and purposes should be capable of elemental jutsu; that said, all we every really see from her is versions of punches and kicks. The Hyuga are also a sore spot for me; they only get the Gentle Fist? Why not master the fire element and merge it with the Gentle Fist? Or perhaps a cool summon? Is Team 7 the only shinobi of the Konoha 11 capable of summoning? Or what about Choji and his family? No elements for them either? Can all they do is grow in size?

I'm not sure if I've vocalized my point well or not lol... but it just seems like some shinobi limit themselves when they shouldn't have to.

Most of konoha 11 have alot more sht then they show, for example hinata has fire and lightning release, even guy has like 2-3 releases. Just because they dont use everything they got every battle doesnt mean they dont got it. The reason they mostly use there hidens or kekkei genkai's ect is because there strong asf so strong that they dont need or have the oppertunity to use release's in battles. By the way, gentle fist's purpose is to disable there chakra pathway system and do damage to the surronding organs, not to burn them, Thats why its gentle fist not fire fist. Also, as we've seen from the rasenshuriken, your not immune to your own element. and you can only emply your element in said elements fashion. For example fire release can only be used after infusing it in your stomach and then shooting it out your mouth. But lets say you could put it in your hands somehow anyway, youd just be roasting your own hands, doing more damage to yourself then your enemy.
