Jiraiya's status panel was equally terrifying. Aside from Kushina, whose details were obscured by question marks, only Hiruzen Sarutobi slightly surpassed Jiraiya in Chakra.
Beyond his Chakra, Jiraiya possessed highly proficient Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation. He also had quite a few mastery-level skills. Mu Yue gave it a quick scan and found his Ninjutsu arsenal to be remarkably comprehensive, with plenty of utility Ninjutsu as well.

Mu Yue compared Jiraiya's status panel with Hiruzen Sarutobi's and felt that if both went all out, it was genuinely difficult to say who would win.
Hiruzen Sarutobi possessed a near-perfect Combination Ninjutsu and more mastery-level Nature Transformations. He had mastered numerous Ninjutsu at proficient and mastery levels, with almost no weaknesses in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu.
