Yes he don't have feats, but he was able to fight Orochimaru + Hashi and Tobirama even though they were like 50% of there power, and he was like 75 years old,

he wasn't HOKAGE for nothing, all of the Hokages are top 10, except for Tsunade, month ago everyone thought that Tobirama is weak and he is at least top 10 now so just w8 for Kishi to show us prime Sandaime or even new jutsus of current Hiruzen....

I believe that in his prime he was much stronger than Sasuke/Itachi/Kakashi...

It's simply the lack of feats that makes hiruzen seem so weak. And 50%? Honestly it looked like to me they were fighting even more below that.

50%? More like 5%-10%. Hiruzen is underrated but don't go saying Tobirama and Hashirama were half powered in that fight. That was a fraction.

There's a reason he's known as the "God of Genin Shinobi"

If we see Hiruzen do anything worthy of being in the top 10, we would add him there. At this point in time, he doesn't deserve to be up there.

This really, at most you could say they were at 20% actual strength.

It's not underrating if he's been doing nothing since Part 1. Every other Hokage is doing something and he's just being old.

Good point. After Minato, hiruzen is my favorite hokage because his story and personality. Hope nobody hates me for saying this but tobirama is kinda a jerk, hashirama is goofy and tsunade is a joke. Though he is probably not stronger than Itachi and current sasuke though I will give you kakashi.

Maybe I think it was because he studied and new many jutsu though. Ideally think Danzo was more powerful then him to be honest. But we will see Kishimoto has yet to show us his full power lol

sadly thats what it comes down to the feats that they showcase and the thing is kishi has changed his power levels since part 1 so people will expect more of him to consider top 10

I guess. Hashirama part 1 looks like a push over compared to himself now. Same for Tobirama.

Hiruzen's strength seems to come from a large array of jutsu. Low panel time kinda harms him there, especially since his one big fight was in Part 1. Gonna have to wait and see.

His analysis was pretty cool though. Intelligence + variety is a good combo. A very good one.

Lol, infant. Hiruzen is quite the fodder. The weakest Hokage; indubitably. He has no real feats. Even Tsunade is a better Hokage.​

This dude went up against the f**king juubi, the JUUBI and he threw Shuriken bro, yeah you could say he is underrated but with the garbage hes shown he gets no place in the Top 10's

Technically, what is Hashirama doing at a time like this? He should be facing the real threat... "God of Shinobi"

U mad? I understand that nothing can really kill Obito, but he was doing his part in figuring out Obtio's abilities showcasing his "Professor" feats.

The only correction is that Tobirama and Hashirama had probably about 10% if that. They were noted to have a fraction not half.


Regardless that ends up being a lot of power.


OT: Agreed...the man is a pure monster.
