Sure, everyone just goes "wow, he's so skilled" in canon, but yeah...
The point being, you can copy whatever you want, but you still need SKILL to use it effectively, and being trained enough so your body can sustain the stress.
Sharingan-learning the Shadow Leaf Dance would have been useless to, for example, Pre-TS Konohamaru, as he did lack both physical prowess and the skill to USE such technique. The same is applied to every jutsu.
Sasuke is hailed as very skilled because he managed to use effectively a technique he did learn 5 days before at his first attempt in a real fighting situation even though his body wasn't specifically trained to deal with the stress of said technique.
Hell, he manages to "complete" it with an original finisher.
A normal person (ie: Sakura) wouldn't have been able to do such thing and would have likely screwed up somewhere.
Remember how he didn't think that Naruto was responsible enough for the rasengan, going as far as berating the motherfucking Jiraiya of the Sannin for teaching it to him?
Naruto just used said Six Grades Above A-Rank Jutsu on Sasuke.
He wasn't acting responsible at the time.

Naruto is trying to get across that Gaara is about to release his goddamn bijuu without breaking any laws, and Kakashi is all like "Stop being a bother Naruto, watch Sasuke."
No, he wasn't.
First, there aren't any laws about Gaara. The only law is about Naruto.
Second, he didn't know what Gaara was exactly doing. He only did know Gaara was a real killer and did fear for Sasuke.
Kakashi's response was pretty much "Naruto, trust your teacher not letting your <s>lover</s><s>friend</s>rival being killed without a fighting chance"

Also, the Hiraishin. Many fics which feature the Hiraishin make the jutsu-shiki the most important part; that you need to "crack" the "extremely complex" jutsu-shiki to figure out the technique. But is that really true?
Must be.
Because with all the kunai Minato did use, were it not super-hard, every village with a remotely competent sealing master would have it.
And while using it in combat requires ultra-fast reflex(which would limit its use to the Raikage and maybe Killer Bee), it would still have a use as long-range fast summon.(see Minato's bodyguards)
For Naruto starting with normal chakra, it was probably a matter of habit. Currently, he seems to have it start as a Rasenshuriken, so I suppose he's now using Wind chakra from the start

Firstly, Sasuke states and Itachi confirms that you need the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Kyuubi. So Tobi has them, or the Nakano shrine tablet was bullshit.
I think you need the Mangekyo to take control of Kurama, but once you have it, you can make a contract and use a normal Sharingan to contro him\her\it.
Sasuke's normal Sharingan had a limited degree of control on Kurama when sealed, after all.
