- He did gain some shuriken skill training under Sasuke (as far as combat training is concerned that is all that is shown). He was okay at it, and it paid off against his first opponent during the final stage of the Chuunin exam.

- I haven't really seen any gentle fists at all. Looking at his Chuunin exam performance, his taijutsu is pretty basic. He lost when outnumbered (resorting to cheating), and couldn't overwhelm Shikamaru's kid.

- He is able to create a small rasengan which, when thrown, vanish after a while but the force carry on. I have no recollection of it been explicitly stated as containing the wind element though. I might have missed it, but I thought it was just highly compressed chakra which contain enough power to carry on and hit the target even after it has seemingly dissipated.

- In the actual movie, he never made a full rasengan by himself. He made the small rasengan by himself, a normal sized ransengan with the cheat device and a super rasengan with Naruto's help.

Overall, he doesn't come across a super genius that aces everything, nor does he have Naruto's monstrous chakra / 9-tails boost. But he did manage to learn the rasengan faster (seemingly) than Naruto, and though smaller in size, it was done without clone assist. I believe he used the Gentle Fist style against Shikidai, it wasn't the exact "Gentle Fist", just the basic forms for the Taijutsu which he can use without the Byakugan.

He made a regular Rasengan during the end, we didn't actually see him making the Rasengan, but in his hand (with the bandages he had on) there was a Rasengan with it.
