I wish I could neg rep you again. You will always see and believe what your fanboyism encourages you to.
If what you stated is always the case, then how did Sage Naruto defeat God Mode in the end? How did an old and humiliated Hiruzen defeat Orochimaru and his Hokage puppets? How was Minato able to take on Obito and the Kyuubi by himself and still come out on top? How was Naruto able to defeat the 3rd Raikage? Intellect and Technique is how!
I don't even know why I waste my time replying to you.......>_>
1. Who the hell is God mode? Definitely not some cripple who had use dead bodies..
2. Hiruzend died.. he never defeated anyone. If you had paid attention.
3. Minato had the whole village helping.. again if you had paid attention
4. Naruto defeated a Edo. Who was being controlled. and had a army behind him
5. Intellect and Technique don't matter if you don't have the power.
There are hardly any "hiruzen" fanboys on this site.
I aint seeing no Hiruzen vs 5kage + Sannin + other kages and expecting him to win, I aint seeing no Hiruzen = Base sage or > Juubi threads.
Hiruzen is rarely overrated to that level.
Must be a joke. All the Hiruzen wankers stopped when Hashirama got hyped up.
Hiruzen has no reason to be overrated.. that is the point.
Hashirama = Base sage.. is actually sensible.. its only not sensible to people keep on denying that Hashirama's powers were superior to that of tailed beasts. Hell in fact the Juubi is being controlled with Mokuton...
Hashirama > all the 9 tailed beasts. He was about to Solo Kyuubi dude...
Maaan, didnt hiruzen handle hashi and tobi at the age of 70? I know they werent at full power but even if they were both at half, thats strong, add oro and its safe to assume hiruzen in his PRIME has a chance.
if it was an arm wrestle and the only important attribute is strength then ok but its a fight and intelligence beats strength when strength isnt intelligent. thats why i can pick itachi or minato against almost anyone because they are more intelligent than most, not sayin they would win or that hashi is unintelligent but my point is raw power alone doesnt determine the winner.
All i recall is Oro toying with Hiruzen , and waiting for Hiruzen to him the jutsu that Hiruzen was talking about.. =]
And Tobirama and Hashirama are undoubtedly one of the smartest people of naruto-verse.
