"He used one forbidden jutsu and that's indicative of him knowing them all to you?" how I had it phrased first didn't feel clear enough but now ik which is clearer. excuse me while I edit. anyway. I mean yeah. he's apologizing for going to use the reaper death seal, what does that say about the rest forbidden jutsu he knows but doesn't really use because of moral constraint. then there's his title "the professor" that not even tobirama has but he has. he can't know all the fire style jutsu in the village and be a god of shinobi right? wood style and fire style's different right?

"If anyone was a forbidden jutsu master it was Tobirama or Orochimaru." tobi mostly devised about two forbidden jutsu. edo tensei, kage bunshin. (flying raijin isn't a FJ right?). so it can be admitted that he was a forbidden jutsu creator, but not a master of a whole lot of them. well i'm assuming hiruzen to be just like that (orochimaru) but better (he knows more). i can't really see him being a god of shinobi any other way. i mean he's great in his nature affinity arts. wind to fire style (we've seen him in the war, how he used all, and he's said to be a master of all). and has his ninja arts. the clone jutsu, shadow shuriken jutsu and the summoning jutsu. but compared to the kazekage and raikage etc of his time. he seems eclipsed.

"Hiruzen was revered as God of Shinobi for A) being a really powerful Shinobi and B) he knew pretty much every jutsu of Konoha." i'm trying to figure out in what way. it def has to be a forbidden jutsu master. exactly, and those most likely would be forbidden ones, cause basic jutsu alone can't make you no god of shinobi

@Flat. yeah, he's shrouded in mystery pertaining to his prime.
