Re: databook is flawed and overhypes characters ( hiruzen )
In harry potter harry beat voldemort. Does that mean he's better than him? F**K NO! Not even close. It was plot. Had hiruzen lost that fight the series would be over because naruto would have been hunted and killed. It's plot when a character NEEDS to win a fight against someone clearly stronger. After that, guess what, hiruzen hasn't been mentioned since, while hashirama is still being compared to god and the so6p.
Two different cases though. U know full well if I skipped us back a couple years ago u wouldn't be posting what u are now and would say something along the lines of.
"OMG! The third took out the 1st, 2nd, and Oro all by himself!"
Skip a few years into the future where Hashirama is getting hyped up all of a sudden because of Madara and we'll just disregard what happen in part 1 as fact and come up with BS excuses like "Oro was controlling the 1st and 2nd."
It wasn't plot that allowed Hiruzen to win because he planned to use the reaper death seal from the start. He didn't just pull the technique out of his ass when things got rough. He held his own just fine but because part 2 power increased, we'll disregard any of the so called power houses in part 1.
Let me give u guys an example. Oro was in part 1, we knew he was powerful and he showed it but it didn't even compare to his part 2 feats but it's still that same person.
Ur telling me that if we put Hiruzen in part two, he would just be some fodder shinobi getting tossed aside when he was considered stronger then any of the kage in his generation? :| That means Onoki and 3rd Raikage.
