Hype
Muu, having become the second Tsuchikage of his village (Iwa) was portrayed to be an immensely powerful shinobi mainly due to his Kekkei Tota allowing him to manipulate the chakra natures of Fire, Earth, and Wind and use them to form jinton, as well as his powerful invisibility technique.
Muu was chosen as a bodyguard for his predecessor meaning he was quite powerful even before becoming Tsuchikage [
Despite Gengetsu and Muu stalemating in battle (
Muu was portrayed to be stronger than his successor, Onoki, for several reasons:
-Muu understands that Onoki is no match for him alone, after battling him off panel and witnessing his current power level [
-Three kages hype Muu on this page [
-Muu was Onoki's master and the one who taught him the arts of jinton [
-Muu tricked Onoki and outsmarted him [
Muu was given the nickname "Null Man" due to his expert camouflaging technique, and handpicked by Kabuto as an Edo to reanimate.
Only very powerful shinobi with far-reaching fame get nicknames because of their ninjutsu prowess. Examples include The Yellow Flash, Hanzo of the Salamander, Shisui the Teleporter, the White Fang, God of Shinobi, Legendary Sannin, Tailless Tailed Beast, The Professor, etc.
Ao hyped him for his camouflage technique as well [
Invisibility
Databook entry on Muu's invisibility technique (a fan's translation from NF):
What we do know is that this technique hides Muu's chakra. HQ's top notch sensory barrier couldn't detect Muu, meaning he can hide his presence extremely well by both
However, sensing which relies on physical detection instead of chakra-based sensing can locate Muu. Examples of sensing types that would be able to detect Muu include: Gaara's sand sensing, snakes' heat sensing, Negative Emotions Sensing, and Jiraiya's Toad Canopy Barrier which would be able to locate Nagato's invisible chamaleon (something KCM Naruto could not sense).
There's a possibility that Muu can extinguish his sense of smell too. Taiseki, a Jonin from Iwagakure was able to mask his presence to the point where Kakashi was unable to sniff him out [
During his lifetime, Muu
Muu can't use jinton when invisible, otherwise he would have done so in the manga. He might not be able to mold chakra either, though it can be argued that he can. In this
Also, a common misconception about Muu's invisibility technique is that the jutsu constantly saps him of chakra as long as it's active. This can't be true, because if Muu was constantly using chakra to remain invisible then his chakra would be detectable by sensors, except it isn't. So the best explanation is that Muu manipulates water particles once to turn his body invisible, and it remains that way until he undoes the technique - meaning that Muu can actually just stay invisible as long as he wants without any known downsides. It's similar to how his lightened jutsu works, in which he only has to lighten himself once to fly, and then he remains weightless until he makes himself heavy again - he doesn't have to maintain the technique using chakra.
Invisibility seems to take a few seconds for Muu to completely activate (
Lightened Boulder Jutsu
Databook entry for Lightened Boulder Jutsu:
This is actually the jutsu Muu uses to fly. By lightening his body, he reduces his weight to where it's lighter than air allowing him to float or fly. As
Instead of needing to continuously mold chakra to remain lightened, Muu only has to
Weighted Boulder Jutsu
This is the counterpart to the Lightened Boulder Jutsu. Before you ask, no Muu has no actually been shown to use this technique in the manga, but he is capable of using it. Onoki uses both lightened boulder and weighted boulder, but Muu was only shown to use lightened. The two techniques are very similar, in that:
So if they were likely invented at the same time, by the same person, and take the same amount of difficulty to master, why should Muu be only capable of using only the lightened version? After all, Muu was Onoki's master and most likely taught him both techniques. Not only does it make sense for Muu to have this jutsu, but it wouldn't make sense for him not to have it. Keep in mind this is a character without much panel time so we should keep an open mind. Muu was portrayed to be much stronger than Onoki, so he should get all of Onoki's feats using the Kajūgan no Jutsu.
Fission
Anyway, Muu's
When splitting, one body can take the attack's damage while the other remains unharmed. Fission would work well against a technique like, let's say, Amaterasu. The execution speed of this technique is so fast, that KCM Naruto and Gaara (both sensors) as well as Onoki (who had intel on the technique) did not notice Muu's other body or realize that he used fission. After splitting, Mu can re-merge his two bodies together to achieve full power once again, which is why he went after his other body again, only to find that it had been sealed (
The obvious downside of this jutsu is that each body's power is halved and
Muu can employ a troll strategy where he splits into two different bodies without his opponent noticing, and makes one of them go invisible. This way he can win a battle through tricking his opponent by letting the visible body die and making his opponent think he won, and let down his guard - only to be stabbed by the other body with an invisible sword attack. He can make both bodies invisible too, if it suits him.

A jinton comes in two steps, preparing and execution.

Muu can direct his jinton towards its target before he expands the jinton [

and physically turning his body invisible. Kabuto reinforces this with his
You must be registered for see links
regarding Muu's ability to turn his body invisible ("he had neither form") as well as hiding his chakra ("nor chakra"). This means, that chakra-based detection techniques can't find him including Sage Mode sensing, and dojutsu which can see chakra like Sharingan and Byakugan.However, sensing which relies on physical detection instead of chakra-based sensing can locate Muu. Examples of sensing types that would be able to detect Muu include: Gaara's sand sensing, snakes' heat sensing, Negative Emotions Sensing, and Jiraiya's Toad Canopy Barrier which would be able to locate Nagato's invisible chamaleon (something KCM Naruto could not sense).

]. While it's true that Taiseki's camouflage technique is very different from Muu's (and oddly enough is listed as an A-rank technique whereas Muu's is a B-rank jutsu), by portrayal and feats Muu is much better at hiding his presence than Taiseki so it's not unlikely.During his lifetime, Muu

. Muu was able to make his

along with himself, so he is able to turn his swords invisible as well since in this manga ninja tools follow the same rules that clothes do even if it doesn't necessarily make sense. For example, when Naruto makes shadow clones his clothes and ninja tools get copied too even though there's no reason for them to be. Muu can go invisible, float up to his opponent, and stab them through the head with his sword; a simple strategy many high leveled ninjas can't counter.Muu can't use jinton when invisible, otherwise he would have done so in the manga. He might not be able to mold chakra either, though it can be argued that he can. In this
You must be registered for see links
it's implied that Muu took flight after going invisible, though there's no concrete proof that he did (there's the possibility he was focusing chakra on his feet to remain grounded to the rock and in fact was already lightened). So for now, I'll stick with the notion that Muu can't mold chakra while his chakras are extinguished, similar to how Karin can't mold chakra at all after she hides her chakra (

This is the counterpart to the Lightened Boulder Jutsu. Before you ask, no Muu has no actually been shown to use this technique in the manga, but he is capable of using it. Onoki uses both lightened boulder and weighted boulder, but Muu was only shown to use lightened. The two techniques are very similar, in that:
-They are executed the same way, via simple contact.
-They are basically the same jutsu, but just work in opposite ways.
-They were probably invented around the same time, and by the same inventor (wouldn't be surprised if it was Muu who invented it.)
-They probably require the same amount of effort to learn and master.

Fission

works by the main body splitting into two bodies. What's interesting about this jutsu is that both bodies retain consciousness and each one is the real Muu, so in order for Muu to be taken down both bodies must be killed. It's explained by Kabuto.

). If one of the bodies is killed or sealed, it seems like the power slowly trickles back into the other body to achieve full power once again, seeing as how a little later Mu summoned Edo Madara (
You must be registered for see links
).The obvious downside of this jutsu is that each body's power is halved and
You must be registered for see links
. However, I do believe that Muu can use any of his other techniques which are not Kekkei Tota while split, albeit not at full power. An example of this is how
You must be registered for see links
to counter Onoki's weighted boulder jutsu being used on him because Muu at half power can't overpower a full powered Onoki's weighted jutsu. His sensing abilities would also be less acute due to his decreased chakra levels, and I doubt he could use fission again. He still should be able to use weighted boulder, lightened boulder, and invisibility though since those weren't shown or implied to be chakra taxing techniques, less chakra taxing than

You must be registered for see links
as implied by his statement about wiping out large numbers of opponents with jinton. This also proves that Muu's chakra reserves are quite high - if Onoki, who was 79 at the time was able to use all those jintons off panel, then go on to battle Madara alongside the other kages, that means Prime Muu would have even more chakra than that (old age decreases chakra reserves as we saw with Old Hiruzen, and Muu was also portrayed to be stronger than Onoki.)

A jinton comes in two steps, preparing and execution. When jinton is getting prepped, the user focuses dust chakra in between their hands in the form of a cone, cube, or cylinder using shape manipulation. After the jinton is powered up, the user releases the concentrated chakra and lets it swiftly expand, vaporizing everything within its radius resulting in the "explosion".
Muu can direct his jinton towards its target before he expands the jinton [
