Well I should've better clarified but the point of being a non-rinnegan user also went towards Hiruzen being the only one I know of who could so without the aid of something special, which would include special eyes, stolen hearts, body experiments, etc. That's what makes it impressive although you are correct there are others. Kakashi I'm not sure about. If I'm not mistaken 3 or 4 was considered a stretch even for a jonin
Well yes. But Sarutobi's are naturally fast learners if you consider that sort of thing.
Kakashi has coppied over 1000 jutsu, so I'm positive he's encountered 1 of each element.
All in all, the point is Hiruzen is good for a normal, non-KKG wielding, non-Jinchuriki shinobi. Is he top 10 in my eyes? Not a chance. Top 15? Maybe. Just maybe. But I still doubt it.
Hiruzen is the big fish in a little pond. He's the king of all fodders, but is still outclassed by many many shinobi.
