When did Yamato say that? I don't feel that makes any sense. After all, Yamato has been shown using wood release without both hands, and Gari, Deidara, Rasa and the Third Kazekage are all shown using advanced natures without any hand seals at all. I thought they just naturally blended those natures in their bodies. Saying it's something you do with the hands makes it seem like a finicky technique and not an innate ability.

And sure, it was never stated that many people had certain chakra natures before the last guidebook, but the thing is that there was never anything that stated (or even implied) that Onoki could use lava or magnet release. And, let's be honest here, lava and magnet release are some of the most useful and versatile advanced natures out there. I find it hard to believe Onoki and Mu would have these but never use them, even for something as basic as, say, repelling a steel weapon with magnetism.

The neutral element thing doesn't make much sense to me anymore, either. The two- part advanced natures never had any issues with wether one half was "strong" against the other or not.
