he did take on both hashirama and tobirama at the same time plus orochimaru, hiruzen would take pain down very high difficulty.
More civilians would have died but he would have actually fought pain and killed some paths.
Actually no one in the village would have survived.
unless he's prime, he ain't doing shit
>laser beam or missile launch negs him with his slow ass reflexes
>multiple summons outnumber monkey
>multiple paths outnumber Hiruzen
even with full intel, he really isn't doing shit to pain w/o being Prime
everyone would still survive because the outcome would be the same naruto talks nagato into reviving everyone. tsunade was useless during pains attack i cant believe they let her stay as hokage
