There's no reason to start insulting people who only watch the anime and I advise you desist such behaviour in forum threads.

The way I see it, Yamato may not be the best case because he was "given" his abilities by way of Orochimaru, but for people like Haku and others that have been explicitly stated to have a kekkei genkai, wouldn't it stand to reason that the two natures that make up that particular kekkei genkai would be affinities for that person? That BS about the meaning of the word affinity being exclusive to just the number one is just that, BS. For people like Naruto, who don't have any stated kekkei genkai, they would have a single affinity barring some chakra anomaly, but I find it hard to believe that bearers of kekkei genkai wouldn't be naturally skilled in the natures that make up their particular ability (assuming it's an advanced chakra nature).

Concerning kekkei tota, given how it doesn't appear to be a skill that is passed down through a family linkage but rather as a taught ability, my thought has always been that Jinton is an advanced manipulation of Doton, enhanced with two extra elements. Not fully a complete mixture of the three but an evolution of Onoki's presumed affinity for Doton techniques. This might be more convoluting than helpful, but it's like how Deidara's techniques were primarily Doton and could be deactivated in the same way that normal Doton techniques could, even though they were actually Bakuton and only half Doton and therefore immune to the normal weaknesses of Doton.
