So once again we have hype vs. actual abilities. Where in the world does it say hiruzen had a counter for every jutsu in Konoha? And every MS jutsu?
Hell how could he even know about every MS jutsu? Only one other person had MS in Hiruzen's time and that person was Shisui who as far as we know only had one MS ability. I'm leaving this thread until someone can actually post logical responses. Most of the people here have just said " blah blah blah Hiruzen wins easily, he had all da jutsus ever blah blah blah"
The best Hiruzen can do against itachi is a draw.
Enma commented on his battle with Orochimaru, saying that it was "miserable" compared to his prime, even though he had clearly been able to hold his own against Orochimaru and two former Hokage without losing his composure. Even in his old age, his chakra was noted for being very strong, causing a dense effect on the atmosphere when released;furthermore, he was known for having immense reserves of chakra in his youth.[
Even when robbed of his sight from the genjutsu Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, he could still defend himself from Hashirama's and Tobirama's assaults, blocking all their attacks to prepare for his Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Remember these key things when speaking about his prime. do i don'y believe it would be draw.
