It is stated in the acutal manga that at his prime he was the strongest of all the Hokage? I find it hard to believe that he was stronger than Hashirama. But Kishi wrote it, why? Is the Hiruzen hype real?

The hype is real. As a Sasuke fan I only support manga facts. In the manga Hiruzen was stated to be the strongest hokage in his prime. I'm obliged to believe it until it shows otherwise.

If people actual read the manga, the part everyone thinks Itachi is talking about Jiraya was actually about the fox. Maybe I'll make a thread about it to teach 2014rs how to read the manga.

It's funny how sasukes name is originally a sarutobi clan person name, however I believe prime hiruzen was equal to hashirama.

After seeing how he used 5 elements with Kage Bushin using only but one seal is testament enough how powerful he was.

Kishimoto always live up to the hype.

You're all n00bs :| had they said, "Strongest of all the Hokage, even Hashirama", I'd still be a bit suspicious about that statement. But again, overhyping is very common in this manga. Which is why I am very skeptical about strong statements said in Naruto.

OT: I'll believe it when I SEE it. Same goes with every other wank thread about "totsuka blitz" or the Hiruzen hype and so on.

Kishi wrote it... yes. but it wasn't out of Kishi's mouth.. come on how old are you that you cannot understand the difference between characters opinions/ characters information bias/ character agenda direction for each opinion.

Kishi also said that Madara (Tobi at the time) was handed the MS by his brother as to protect the clan with the EMS. But in reality he actually took them from him after he died because he himself was going blind from overusing MS.

So You see, that was explained by tobi as so to use sasuke so that sasuke would interpret his actions as noble and doing it for his clan's sake, something that sasuke just had discovered as also his new main objective as to repay the system and people that made his brother suffer.

He was supposed to be the strongest hokage in part 1 but kishi forgot about that in part 2, its stupid and an insult to the readers imo, hashirama was never called a god of shinobi until the war arc, its obvious that kishi came up with it at the last moment just to hype him up since he was supposed to be stronger than madara, why didn't he mention anything about hiruzen being a god of shinobi in this arc? and why didn't anyone mention anything about hashirama being a god of shinobi in part 1? its like he forgot about it or he thinks the readers are stupid, it shows that he never meant for hashirama to be too important until the war arc where he came up with that. I was hoping to see edo hiruzen show why he was called a god of shinobi but that won't happen.

yea... in the opening few chapters of a series that just had begun and has been going on now for 15 years.... dude shit like that is irrelevant. It was to grab the attention of the audience as to how magnificent, important and just the will of fire in general was as it embodied itself into a human being called the hokage.

also those words came out of hiruka explaining a buncha little kids how amazing their leader was. Of course Hiruzen is a God to Iruka... can he even use ninjutsu? hahahaa
