While between vantage points, his pet Tanuki, Kuma, can lure guards to it, similar to Yuki's Whistle. His cane and peg leg convert into a Sniper Rifle for long-range takedowns, and can disable groups with either deadly Explosive Grenades or stunning Poison Grenades. He cannot perform any physical feat needing more muscle than climbing a ladder.
His advanced age and peg leg give him Mugen-like agility (in other words slower than the ninjas), plus he makes noise while running.
He is a strong infiltrator and stealthy killer, but has no way to divert the enemy's movements. His Shuriken is a somewhat noisy way to take out an enemy from afar, while his Throw Stone forces any foe to face the noise for a few seconds. Hayato is agile enough to walk tightropes and scale buildings with ease, and strong enough to walk while carrying an incapacitated guard.
