Before leaving with Asuma, Mu Yue appraised Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He was curious about just how extensive the skill set of the "Professor of Ninjutsu," said to have mastered every Ninjutsu in Konoha, would be.
Name: Hiruzen Sarutobi
Chakra: 170000
Skills: Combination Ninjutsu (Mastery: 13000/15000), Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastery: 8200/15000), Earth Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastery: 7000/15000), Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastery: 5800/15000)...
Hiruzen Sarutobi's skill list was indeed absurdly long, densely packed with entries. Mu Yue roughly estimated that it contained over a thousand Ninjutsu.
Judging by the sheer number, the title Professor of Ninjutsu was well deserved. After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not have a Sharingan to copy techniques; he had to practice every single one himself.
However, most of those Ninjutsu were only at the Beginner or Proficient level. Mastery-level techniques made up only a small portion of the total, but Mu Yue still found it outrageous. He spotted quite a few familiar high-level Ninjutsu and even secret techniques among them.
As for Nature Transformation, Hiruzen Sarutobi had mastered all five basic elements, though their proficiency levels varied. Fire Release was the highest, while the others were somewhat lower.
It seems the system's Mastery level carries more weight than I imagined, Mu Yue thought.
In terms of Water and Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation alone, he was no worse than Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Of course, in an actual fight, the current Hiruzen Sarutobi would kill him instantly. Whether it was Chakra, taijutsu, combat experience, or even Ninjutsu loadout, Hiruzen Sarutobi completely overwhelmed him.
Only after seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's panel did Mu Yue understand what a true all-round ninja was. Ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, Sealing Jutsu, secret techniques, Forbidden Jutsu, and all manner of other techniques could be found in Hiruzen Sarutobi's skill list.
