everyone on base says that Hiruzen is very strong or even perhaps one of the strongest. i know he has enma his monkey ape gorilla thing but that doesn't seem to impressive. what am i missing? why does everyone think he is so stong?
he took on 1st, 2nd and orochimaru at once by himself, hailed as strongest hokage and god of shinobi, called professor because he knows about every jutsu that exists in konoha. his chakra levels meant in his prime he used clones extensively. orochimaru had never seen him in pain when he was still in the village.
true but they were edo and edo is never as strong as when they were alive because they know their jutsu better than anyone, they wont work as a team, and they cant use strategy.
wrong. the senju bros were working as a team, and they were using their best jutsus. orochimaru isnt an idiot so he was using enough strategy to overwhelm hiruzen. onoki stated muu's as powerful as when he was alive. madara, itachi and nagato are even stronger than alive
edo ninjas arnt as impressive as the real them. they dont strategize and they attack together and work as a team. so i think that if hiruzen fought both them while they were alive, it wouldnt have ended well for him.
if hiruzen fought them both when alive, they wouldnt have edo immortality and unlimited chakra, so they would have died when hiruzen blew them in half.
BUT kishi said he's the god of shinobi so he's one of the strongest. Bullshit if you ask me. I'm not impressed with his strength
like it matters what you think. manga is fact, your opinion, not.
