"Shinobi are people who endure to achieve their goals… but depending on what they choose as their goal they change…" -Hashirama Senju
Let's be honest, if you don't learn jutsus and hone your body into the best shape it can possibly be you're doing it wrong. I can't fathom anymore the mindsets of people who don't learn jutsu, of people who are content with being average and unremarkable. I've been learning jutsus for just 40 years now and I can honestly say it's completely changed the way I view life.
brb strong as hell
brb got into the Akatsuki
brb learning jutsu inspired me to become Hokage
brb stand out from the crowd as Legendary Sannin
brb respect from Uchiha, people wanting to learn my techniques
brb immortal
Used to stay inside all day crying about my dead parents, in an orphanage and being depressed with my life. Almost as soon as I started learning jutsu and was told about the white snake, the bouts of depression I used to have completely vanished, I realised there was more to life than visiting the graveyard and started going Konoha. Now I'd consider myself a genius.

Why don't you learn jutsus and why aren't you immortal like me? If you do and you are immortal, good for you.
