Orochimaru thought that he could make new jutsu by combining jutsu he learned previously and he advocated for learning a lot of jutsu. yea thats the thing. thats not how it would really work in real life. unless the ninja had a way to increase the processing speed of the brain than adding jutsu after jutsu would actually slow reaction time. simply because if Shinobi A throws xxy jutsu and Shinobi B who has learnt 20,000 jutsu would have to than respond to XXY jutsu with YUB jutsu etc. to do so shinobi B would have to literally respond by sifting through 20,000 jutsu. there would be no guarantee that the appropriate jutsu would be imagined fast enough.
