Shukaku had control over Wind & Magnet, however Kekkei Genkai wise Gaara's father had Magnet and besides that we don't know what his mother had she could have Wind. Which would mean Gaara got his elements from them. Not from Shukaku whom was sealed within Gaara as he was in the womb.

So in my thoughts, No Lava nor Magnet would be classed as a Kekkei Genkai for Naruto. Cause as stated above, by DarHumpHump < like the name!> when a bijuu is removed you do get a best kind of kekkei genkai, and everyone gets it sooner or later...DEATH!!! lmao

Nope i am sorry but it is a fact. Gaara had Magnet release solely because he was the Jinchuuriki of Shukaku. the simple reason he still has it is because when Using Magnet Release it changed his natural Affinity because of constant use of the Magnet Release. he also had Wind Release. if you look at all of the Jinchuuriki there chakra nature is always the same as the tailed beasts for instance Naruto has Wind Release, so does Kurama.

also A kekkai Genkai can be learned by Mixing two nature types together for instance if Kakashi took his natural affinity to lightning and combined it with Water Release to create a new chakra nature unique to him that would be by definition a Kekkai Genkai.

Kekkai genkai usually are simply things that are inherited but they can be developed, hence the reason that Multiple shinobi from several different clans have lava release Kekkai genkai. more over even if it is not considered a Kekkai Genkai because it was learned the shinobi none the less would still have it.

here lets look at it this way. all shinobi have the potential to learn all potential chakra natures. when turning there chakra into an element they have to actually learn to change the chakra nature. in the case of a jinchuuiki they may not require as much time but non the less they still have to convert there individual chakra into said element Roshi was shown to use Lava release with out being in Tailed beast Mode and in the end your really think that a jinchuuiki would no longer be able to use a technique they literally have used thousands of times just because the tailed beast was removed from them(had they survived some how)? i think not. the logical assumption is that they would keep

All shinobi have the ability to learn basic chakra natures, Wind, Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Water. Examples of this include Hiruzen, master of all 5, and Kakashi, practitioned of all five on a regular basis. All shinobi do not possess the ability to get KKG natures. My science-y guess as to why is that their cells secrete hormones, triggering a unique activation of the tenketsu in a certain way (relying on a previously stated theory, I think, that chakra nature manifestation is determined by heightened activity in a specific set of tenketsu) though I may be wrong. Without this (or whatever the determining factor is) the tenketsu will not act in concert as required, preventing the required blend.

Also, in regards to the 'use changes affinity' argument, we have contrary examples for this. The keenest is Sasuke, who utilized Fire Release techniques greatly throughout both Parts I and II. According to your theory, which in real terms is an example of Lamarckian evolutionary theory, Sasuke should have been Fire natured due to excessive use. However, he has since proven to be a Lightning nature user, allowing him to more quickly master and adapt such techniques as Chidori and Kirin.
