Is the title of "Legendary" Sannin overhyped?

[Kamui Sama]

No, at their time they were among the best shinobi in the world

IMO the Sannin are ovehyped except Oro. He took on the third who people have taken to calling the god of shinobi. tbh we haven't seen much in the way of fights from Oro except that one fight and he can just summon up some edo's he can control like Minato.

No they aren't, this was before Tsunade had her seal, Jirayah probably couldn't use sage mode, and Orochimaru had no edos.
It was all them.
We never really seen the full extent of Tsunade's abilities,
We seen a little of what Orochimaru could do.
And Jirayah had lots of jutsu.

The full power of the sannin was never showm

jiraiya learned senjutsu from fukasaku-sama when he was child breaks from the missions.

No, at their time they were among the best shinobi in the world

y agree with that.

It's just a title. All it means is hanzo didn't kill your ass.

Title of Kage>white fang>sannin.

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

At their time the title was well deserved.

 

[-Spoiler-]

Yeah, the Sannins aren't much tbh. Just look at Orochimaru w/o Edo Tensei. Very lacking tbh

Jiraiya Stomped Konan and Three paths with no intel i think he proved he was Legendary.

No intel? I'm pretty sure he knew konan's tech's and the hype surrounding the rinnegan.

The title itself isn't worth much though.
They got it by losing to a village head(who isn't even one of the great 5)
Kage> village head>sannin in terms of worth.
