Something I've noticed is that Danzo's abilities are SUPER underrated on this base...people are saying the likes of Kakashi and Hiruzen can solo him. So I will show you guys how badass he truly is.
Taijutsu
Genjutsu and Visual Prowess
Fuuton Chakra Nature
Summoning Technique
Danzo's summoning is the Baku, a massive chimera that has a special suction technique. Its sheer size alone is monstrous - it completely dwarfs Sasuke's V2 Susano'o:
Its suction power is enormous, and manages to inhale everything over a wide range, even immobilizing Sasuke's V2 Susano'o. Something interesting is that Obito himself said "That summon's a...Baku? The mythical chimera that devours nightmares...It's bigger than I would've expected." The way Obito worded it makes me believe that the Baku is the stuff of legends, and the way he said "devours nightmares" makes it seem like the objects the Baku inhales do not remain in his stomach, and rather get teleported to another location through a transportation technique or a space-time technique. As you can see in the image, the Baku is sucking up large trees, rocks, and debris that would definitely not sit in its stomach. However, the creature was doing fine until Sasuke blew a fireball in his mouth, so there is reason to believe that whatever it swallows is transported to another location or dimension. People tend to underrate this summoning very much because it was taken out with a C-Rank Fire Element technique. The only reason that it worked in Sasuke's favor is because fire has elemental superiority over wind. If it had been a C-Rank or B-Rank technique of any other element, it would not have worked.
Fuinjutsu
Mokuton/Hashirama's cells
In conclusion, Danzo is a beast. Even without his OP haxed powers (izanagi, KA, Mokuton), he is an extremely strong ninja despite his age, and is skilled in the areas of Fuuton, Summoning, Sealing, and Taijutsu.
Taijutsu
Even at the ripe old age of 72, Danzo was shown to be very physically fit and possessed very good taijutsu skills. He can be seen dodging falling debris and doing backflips in his battle with Sasuke. His biggest taijutsu feat, though, is his kick that owned Karin.

I legitimately believe that if it weren't for her Uzumaki lineage and recovery abilities, that kick would have killed her. You can see her body crashing into a pillar at high speed and shattering the pillar.Genjutsu and Visual Prowess
After the Uchiha clan massacre, Danzo implanted ten sharingan in his arm, along with an eleventh eye (Shisui's) which he put in his right eye. These elevn sharingan granted Danzo access to a whole arsenal of abilities.
Danzo Shimura was also a skilled genjutsu user. He implanted Shisui Uchiha's eye, granting him access to Kotoamatsukami, one of the most powerful (arguably THE most powerful) genjutsu of the Uchiha clan. If you don't remember exactly what KA does, it allows one to control an opponent without the opponent even realizing it.
Along with KA, there is reason to believe that Danzo can also perform a generic Genjutsu:Sharingan, from one of the ten sharingan embedded in his arm, or from Shisui's eye.
Danzo also can see through genjutsu, to a degree. In his battle with Sasuke, he countered Sasuke's initial genjutsu, after being momentarily stunned by it. As we all know, this "momentary stunning" turned out to be his undoing in this battle, as Sasuke later cast a genjutsu to make it seem that Danzo had his sharingan still open. But we need to acknowledge that in most cases, genjutsu will not finish Danzo in a battle.
Along with the genjutsu abilities granted by his Sharingan, Danzo gains access to his most useful technique: izanagi. While izanagi is active, everything disadvantageous to the user can be rewritten as a dream. It is literally impossible to kill Danzo while his izanagi is active, with the sole exception being the use of izanami. Using Hashirama's cells, Danzo managed to extend the use of each izanagi to one minute, giving him an overall ten minutes of total immortality.

It allows the user to enter their opponent's mind and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will. It is regarded as a genjutsu of the highest class due to the victim being entirely unaware that they are being manipulated.
As a testament to its power it was strong enough to even negate Kabuto Yakushi's control over a reincarnated Itachi Uchiha, despite the former's binding being considered near-absolute. Transplanted into a non-Uchiha, or an animal, the dōjutsu would require around a decade before it can use this technique again, but this period can be drastically reduced through the possession of Hashirama Senju's cells, as observed by Danzō Shimura's use.

Fuuton Chakra Nature
Danzo is an extremely adept user of the Wind Style. He can change his wind-style chakra into various chakra forms, such as bullets (Fūton: Shinkūgyoku), wide-range blasts (Fūton: Shinkū Taigyoku), wide-range cutting power (Fūton: Shinkūha), as well as applying wind chakra to kunais, creating powerful chakra blades, like the ones Asuma used. All these techniques were capable of pressuring Sasuke's Susano'o and his Wind Element: Vacuum Blade Rush was even capable of cutting through the spine of Susano'o. People tend to underrate these techniques since they failed to kill Sasuke, but the fact is Danzo is an extremely powerful Fuuton user, more so than Temari and Kakuzu.

Fuinjutsu
Danzo was talented and well-versed in sealing techniques. He placed a complex seal on every Foundation members' tongue, which caused their tongue to swell and loss of speech in the event that a Foundation member was interrogated. In his battle with Sasuke, he placed a special seal on Sasuke that totally immobilized him. If Danzo hadn't deliberated and talked about Itachi at that moment, Sasuke wouldn't have had time to break through the seal and regain movement. His last, and suicidal, sealing technique is the one he placed on Shisui's eye, which once unsealed, explodes into a giant black sphere. Anything within the radius of that sphere is sealed within his corpse.
Mokuton/Hashirama's cells
The implantation of Hashirama's cells on his right arm are used to supplement his sharingan techniques, enabling each sharingan to give Danzo immortality for one minute. It also allows him to use Kotoamatsukami multiple times in one day (he used it on Mifune at the kage summit, and several hours later he was prepared to use it again). Danzo can also use Mokuton (to a lesser degree). Although it won't prove useful in many situations, Danzo applied it to divert the path of a Susano'o arrow, thus sparing his life.
In conclusion, Danzo is a beast. Even without his OP haxed powers (izanagi, KA, Mokuton), he is an extremely strong ninja despite his age, and is skilled in the areas of Fuuton, Summoning, Sealing, and Taijutsu.
