Nature release
In addition to his puppet technique, Minobu is capable of using lower level water release skills, such as the water prison technique, the water clone technique albeit he can only make one at a time, the hiding in water technique, and Water Release Gunshot. He primarily uses these techniques in case his puppets are either unavailable for some reason or just to shake up an opponents rhythm.

Ninjutsu
Besides his nature transformations Minobu can use all of the standard academy techniques, and will often use his puppets to give his clones substance or be a replacement for the replacement technique.

Taijutsu
Minobu can use taijutsu, but his skill is mediocre at best and mostly serve to allow him to block if an opponent manages to get past his puppets.

Tools
Minobu carries large numbers of smoke bombs, poison bombs, flashbang tags, and explosive tags on his person. He primarily uses them to allow himself to keep the distance he needs to properly use his puppets. he also generally carries 3-4 kunai and several shurikens.
