Even a Kekkei Genkai would've been a nice change of pace. After a whole War Arc with new KKG and natures popping up left and right, i'm happy that we're back to basic natures and people actually using them. We had several K11 members use clan-specific and hiden jutsu. We've had several KKG villains now. KKG are not only advanced natures, there's stuff like dojutsu and the likes of Shikotsumyaku - something I'd love to be expanded upon. Ketsuryugan, for one, was a very nice addition.

And we used to get so many cool abilities outside of natures back in the old days: Kidomaru's spider webs, Kabuto's application of offensive medical ninjutsu, puppet-jutsu. If you think about it, every kage bodyguard during the 5 Kage Summit arc had their fighting style revolve either around a nature or an advanced KKG, with the exceptions being Chojuro (who used kenjutsu) and Ao (who we did not see fighting), and most Edo Tensei shinobi also relied heavily on a nature.
