Who is the best generalist?

[HowDidIGetPrem]

Out of all battle related skills(strategizing aside) like sensing, taijustu, and medical skills, who's the best?
Orochimaru excluded because he's too hax.

 

[123fire]

Obito is the best ofcourse

 

[salamander uchiha]

In all forms of combat it's Madara Sama followed by Sasuke.

Kabuto seems right as per your requirements.

 

[Uverdore9]

Itachi. He had great medical knowledge he made medicines to prolong his life due to it's detereorating sickness. He had a sealing technique which sealed Amaterasu into Sasuke which not even Obito could realize what's what. He can cook eggs for Sasuke according to a special episode. He has the ability to touch intangible things touching the King of Hell. He has the ability to see the souls of people and understand what they are thinking understanding how to manipulate them. His intellect was Hiruzen level who's the most intelligent Hokage in history at age 7. He has overpowered sensing skills he sensed Sasuke was not dead despite the entire Akatsuki believing so from kilometers to miles of distances. He is the best Strategist feats are Chibaku Tensei uncovering something which the entire village took months to figure out yet couldn't. His forethinking strategy which enabled him to plan each and every single move and movement in Sasuke vs Itachi and went perfectly as planned according to Obito. Many more. He's the perfect guy according to your description OP. Kabuto said he was holding back several techniques meaning he's got lot's in store he haven't revealed yet. Hyped.

 

[MomoSaka]

OrochimaruXD

Honestly Naruto. Then maybe, Kabuto or Hiruzen no joke.

Translation: Hiruzen earned the title of professor for being a researcher. He was trained by both Hashirama and Tobirama, as the man that would succeed them. At a young age he showed greater talent than Tobirama. Ability in all Five Nature Alterations, Ability in all Hiden (clan techniques), Genjutsu, Ability in all Ninjutsu existing in Konoha which explains his reputation as the professor. His title of Professor is no joke, hence the essence of Hiruzen is his talent with ninjutsu. Everyone in the village is his family member

5 Elements - Not even his full power???

Since Hiruzen was revived at old age, his chakra and power should be as low as before but wait... Tobirama states that the Hokage have been revived "close to original power" this means Hiruzen was revived weaker then he was alive at old age yet he was able to produce the 5 Elements at such mastery that it was even capable of stalemating the Buddha Statue while the 5 Kage couldn't. Just imagine his Prime.

The Third hokage's comrade in arms, the monkey king enma's transformation jutsu Characterized by the hardness of diamond and its at-will extensibility, Kongou Nyoi-Bou is Sandaime's"weapon of choice", so to speak and with it in hand he's made it through a world of war for an extended period of time.

You must be registered for see images

Enma is capable of using Transformation: Adamantine Staff, which allows him to turn into a extending and expanding staff that is as hard as adamantine, capable of cutting through the Shinju branches easily. By extending in staff form, Enma can even push Kurama out of Konoha rather easily. He is also able to produce various body parts, such as eyes or arms, from the staff. Additionally, Enma can still move on his own in the staff form, allowing him to return to Hiruzen. Enma can even clone himself in his staff form, turning him into any number of smaller staffs that he uses for Adamantine Prison Wall, a move that can even protect against Hashirama Senju's Wood Release techniques.

Durability Feats - Super Kage Bunshin???

Spoiler

Hiruzen has shown to have excellent durability feats at age 69 with his Kage Bunshin as one of his clones was stabbed by Hashirama with 4 Kunai in the chest yet did not disperse until Hiruzen was done with it. He was also able to hold Orochimaru's soul for an hour long despite being stabbed through the chest by the Sword of Kusangi.

Dangerous CQC

Spoiler

]Even past his Prime, Hiruzen had showed excellent Close Quarter Combat skills. Moments after sealing parts of his soul away to seal the Edo Hokage and exhausting his remaining Chakra on Kage Bunshin, he was still able to easily disarm Orochimaru from his Sword of Kusangi with great ease and catch him to prepare his sealing Jutsu. He was also able to easily break through the Shinju branches and save Naruto despite Tobirama and Minato unable to get through.


Strong fighters such as Aye couldn't do much against Wood Style from Madara. Only Onoki managed to destroy lots of Wood with his Jinton which even damaged edo-Madara. Tsunade destroying a Wood Clone don't count because it was merely a clone. Same with edo-Madara cutting Hashirama's Wood clone in half don't count. Tobirama failed to destroy all of the Juubi Wood Style with his Water Style Ninjutsu. Minato said he didn't have enough chakra to teleport Naruto away. Which means that Minato couldn't destroy the Wood either. He could only teleport Naruto away. That was his only option. The first time Madara used Wood Style, characters such as Gaara or Dodai were saying that it's GG right now because they can't do anything to that Wood. Only Naruto saved them. So you see, Kage level fighters like Tobirama, Minato, Gaara, Aye were powerless against Wood Style. But Hiruzen and a few others managed to cut through the Wood like paper. The only other person who had cut through the Wood so easily was EMS Sasuke with his Susanoo sword.

Intelligence "The Professor"

Spoiler

Having been around the previous 3 Shinobi World War, Hiruzen's knowledge and experience in all forms of Shinobi combat are unparalleled. Although brief, we only get to see a glimpse of "The Professor"

One great example would include when Hiruzen combined the Reaper Death Seal with Kage Bunshin to try and seal multiple souls at once. This was a genius move because it would help delay the sealing of his own soul enough to go after Orochimaru's soul next.

The last time we see a glimpse of Hiruzen's intelligence was when he personally engages Obito so that nobody needs to put their lives at risk, taking advantage of the fact that he's already dead to analyse Obito's abilities. By observing Obito's Truth-Seeking Balls with his specialty, the Shuriken Kage Bunshin, he theorizes that they are similar to the Third Tsuchikage's kekkei tōta in that they are a combination of multiple nature transformations. He also postulates that the Truth-Seeking Balls have limits to the duration of their malleability, but his upper body is destroyed immediately after that. He was able to deduce the Truth-Seeking Balls, (a technique that is beyond Shinobi knowledge) in mere seconds after seeing it

Extra Databook Hype

"The sandaime, in particular, was a genius nicknamed the 'Professor,' and was called the strongest of all the Hokage".

the Sandaime was the strongest.

Databook 1, Page 117

The "Professor" revered as the strongest Hokage in history.

Databook 1, Page 119

"History's Strongest", "Genius", etc., there are many words that describe the Sandaime Hokage.

DB2 Pg 84
Konohamaru paragraph:

Konohamaru, descended from Sandaime, who was praised as history’s strongest Hokage.

"Hiruzen in his Prime was able to counter every Leaf Jutsu in Existance including all MS and EMS skills." DB2 Pg 84

Konohamaru paragraph:

Konohamaru, descended from Sandaime, who was praised as history’s strongest Hokage.

He who even holds the affectionate name of "Professor," being well-versed in every jutsu that exists in the village of Konohagakure

You're right but it's called the greatest genjutsu by BZ. The greatest genjutsu can be a little special from typical ones. Example IT. It's not just a sense based genjutsu but a light which penetrates all hits you putting you in one. Likewise DB and Manga says Itachi can control space, matter, time in his Tsukiyomi realm and worse it's real and not an illusion as he said in the former world to Kakashi. Kakashi doesn't dispute that fact and completely agrees. Genjutsu normally can't do that. Thus classified as Ninjutsu.

Yamato a Wood Element user is fodder for you, then ok. Itachi was going to run away. One thing I hate the most is people underestimating Itachi's powers. Hype is hyperbole only when itachi recieves it. Feat is holding back only when it's itachi's. Smh. Guy running away is not indirect hype when itachi recieves, but if it was Madara or some overhyped ruffian you would be stressing that feat in VS like the world's gonna end. Smh. Guy didn't call one/two ANBU, but the whole team. He didn't know about MS abilities and had the perfect method to fight a Sharingan user. Looking at thier feet. Smh.
