Muu was the second Tsuchikage, Onoki's teacher, and portrayed as the strongest Tsuchikage. Before I begin let me explain why Muu is stronger than Onoki and is portrayed that way.
Gaara and Onoki ganged up against Muu before taking out the 2nd Mizukage (Gengetsu) so they believe Muu to be the stronger shinobi between him and the Mizukage, despite the two of them battling each other and both dying.
Muu understands that Onoki is no match for him alone, after battling him off panel and witnessing his current power level.
The Raikage, Hokage, Tsuchikage, and Aoba all hyped him. His fame and power was known far and wide. Onoki implied that Shikaku's entire war strategy could be hindered by a single man.
Kabuto handpicked Muu as an Edo to reanimate, and hyped him to have no presence or chakra. Only powerful shinobi with far-reaching fame get nicknames like "The Invisible Man". Examples are, The Yellow Flash, Hanzo of the Salamander, The God of Shinobi, Legendary Sannin, The Professor, Shisui the Teleported, etc. I suppose Onoki also has a nickname ("Fence sitter") but that's not in regards to his actual combat ability, i believe it's referring to his indecisive wartime policies where he would "sit on the fence" about an issue
Muu tricked Onoki and outsmarted him.
Mu was Onoki's sensei and the one who taught Onoki how to use jinton, and very likely other techniques as well.
Since it's clear that Muu is the stronger, both portrayed as the stronger as such and has better feats, let me explain why he can use these three of Onoki's techniques/abilities.
1. Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu (
2. Doton Bunshins (
3. Large-scale Swinging Jinton (
Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu
Doton Bunshins
Large-scale Swinging jinton
Only Onoki has shown to be able to use this so why does Muu get this feat too? There's a few reasons.
1 - Muu's cylinder jinton matched Onoki's cone jinton, and Onoki comments on the power of Muu's jinton. They fought each other off panel and Mu matched Onoki's jinton, every time. It only makes sense that Mu can use a large-scale jinton like Onoki did, at old age, in poor battle conditions, and low on chakra.
2 - Muu states that numbers do not matter before a jinton user like him. This can only imply one thing: that he can use large-scale jinton to defeat many opponents at once, hence why numbers do not matter.
3 - It's fact that Muu was the one who taught Onoki the secrets of jinton, and is an all around stronger Tsuchikage than Onoki by portrayal and feats.
In conclusion, Muu should be able to use these three techniques/feats that Onoki showed. Not only does it make sense that Muu can use them, but it wouldn't make sense if he couldn't. Since Muu is not a plot-central character and only was part of the manga briefly, he doesn't have many feats but through logical reasoning and deduction we can infer that he can indeed use weighted-rock technique, make rock clones, and cast large-scale jinton.

)Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu
This technique is the exact opposite of the Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu (
Moving on: why can Muu use the opposite technique that makes the target heavy instead? Firstly, the two techniques were probably simultaneously created at the same time by the same inventor, and take the same anount of effort to master, so it wouldn't make sense if Mu had one and not the other. Second, there's the obvious fact that Muu is the stronger of the two Tsuchikages as well as Onoki's teacher, and probably the one who taught him those techniques.

). Mu is 100% confirmed to be able to use Keijūgan no Jutsu by the way- Fourth Databook says it is the technique that Onoki and Muu use to fly, and Muu has shown in the manga that he can fly.Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique (土遁・軽重岩の術, Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu)
Heading: To dance in the sky released from gravity's constraints!
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short-Range
User(s): Ōnoki
The technique reduces the target's gravity. It's natural application is to enhance, naturally it's used to make the weight of the things one carries lighten, ones personal weight can also be reduced, making ones movements fast and agile. The atmosphere as well as the human body is made light, in-order to soar through the sky. On occasion, It is popular for a person to control the jutsu's flight in the sky with specific stances (heavy paraphrased, but you get it, many users control their flight with their stance), with practice one can freely fly about in the sky.
→ Touching the target in an instant their gravity is taken away. The technique user regulates how much (gravity) is snatched away.
↓ The sensation of soaring through the sky is extraordinarily pleasant. . . can't make out the rest due to unknown Katakana word.

Doton Bunshins
Rock clones seem to be a technique basic to most Iwagakure jonin. It would not make sense for the strongest Tsuchikage to be incapable of using rock bunshins when even jonin like Akatsuchi have shown that they can make rock clones (
What seals the nail in the coffin is that Mu is able to split himself, which is a highly complex technique, much more advanced than cloning.
With clones, there are fakes and there is the original, but with fission both of Mu's bodies are the real Muu and retain the same sense of "self". That's a really high level technique. It makes no sense for Muu to be able to literally split himself in half, but not make basic rock clones.

). Onoki was shown to make rock clones, and with Muu as the superior shinobi as well as Onoki's teacher, it would be illogical for him not to have it.What seals the nail in the coffin is that Mu is able to split himself, which is a highly complex technique, much more advanced than cloning.
