whats the matter with you sometime? You know Madara used genjutsu to do that. Raikage used his bare hands to fight a tailed beast "unarmoured and unarmed".
Hiruzen was also the strongest of all Hokage right?
Genjutsu that only worked because of other external factors.
So what?? Genjutsu is part of his arsenal, it is his power.. Raikage took on hachibi like that because of his armor and durable skin. "unarmored".. sorry but in case you didn't know .. he used Raiton armor.. thats the only way he would've been able to stalemate hachibi. Without the armor he can't do it.
No, he wasn't actually. "some people" claimed him to be the strongest hokage of all time, while Hashirama and tobirama were considered the best ninja konoha has ever seen. But "hokage of all time" has shit to do with him being one of the 4 (if Naruto is now a God of shinobi) gods of shinobi. He was hailed as the God of Shinobi in the era of the 3rd Raikage, you can't change it homes. He was the strongest ninja of his time.
You are acting like it'll be hard to get the 3rd Raikage in a genjutsu.. when he can simply grab him like he grabbed 4th and proceed with the genjutsu. You are acting like this will be hard or something.
Man this 3rd raikage overrating is getting worst and worst. We went from him being immune to kunais and swords with his bare skin, to him beating Ems Madara.
Madara's complete Susanoo is still capable of busting mountains.
