No one has better ninjutsu mastery than Hiruzen

[LuckyMan]

He isn't called the Professor for nothing.

His mastery in ninjutsu is unparalleled. The only shinobi in the series to actually have all 7 natures and display mastery of all of them. Hiruzen actually trained and gained access to all through mastering each elements to the point he doesn't even need to use seals to use them, incredible!

Dudes like Naruto and Sasuke got them from RSM and Rinnegan respectively. They didn't train at all for the ones they didn't have so they are lacking in sheer experience and skill!

Hiruzen can use a moves in his village. There is certainly no other with better ninjutsu mastery than he. Truly God level, no wonder he was called the God of Shinobi!

Hiruzen has mastery of 5 Natures.

Also Kakashi can use all 5 as well.

Gotta give credit when it is due.

Hiruzen did not have a Kekkei Genkai/Tota/Dojutsu and yet he still was really powerful.

 

[Madara the Solo King]

The only crappy thing was how he was so nerfed in the War Arc though.

 

[Sea Of Thy Soul]

yes hiruzen is god

 

[CloyEscapade]

Orochimaru might have more by now... Maybe not all types but possible more techs

 

[Trúth]

Not impressed.

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 in the Nature Elements. All five nature alterations, Hiden (clan techniques), Genjutsu, all Ninjutsu existing in Konoha which explains his reputation as the professor. 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???

Spoiler

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. 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.

Also, when Enma is transformed into Diamond Shifting Staff, it is also possible that he can attack out of his own free will, his claws and fangs add an element of surprise and irregularity. Forged in the fire of battle, its at-will transformation-based attack and defense go beyond the scope of proficiency, to attain the realm of Shinobi "godhood".

-The main method of attack consists in strikes and thrusts that take advantage of its extensibility. The hardness of diamond translates into destructive power.

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.

Didn't nagato use all elements at a young age

 

[LuckyMan]

Not impressed.

You should be! Hiruzen is a ninjutsu master. There is no technique to great for him to master. Guys like Itachi had the sharingan and still couldn't master all natures. SMH Pathetic indeed!

Didn't nagato use all elements at a young age

Yes but through Rinnegan, one of it's perks.

 

[HENI]

Too bad he's weak now

 

[Madara the Solo King]

Didn't nagato use all elements at a young age

Yes because he was gifted and blessed with the Rinnegan.

 

[A$AP Wap]

he also mastered all masterable Jutsu in Konoha including all Clan Jutsu (non bloodline, lol)

Yes because he was gifted and blessed with the Rinnegan.

because he was a skilled Prodigy Uzumaki trained by Lord Jiraiya
Sasuke still doesn't know how to use all five Natures even with his Rinnegan, gtfo

Hiruzen has mastery of 5 Natures.

Also Kakashi can use all 5 as well.

Has he ever shown wind or fire in the manga?

 

[senjusana]

Hiruzen rocks.
And Prime Hiruzen solos NV and thats why he wasn't shown in the manga.
+rep to OP for such a thoughtful thread.

 

[startup97]

Hiruzen has mastery of 5 Natures.

Also Kakashi can use all 5 as well.

Difference is the level of mastery which Hiruzen had shown. You can learn all 5 Natures and use D Rank versions of them but mastering them is a different story.
