no, im not. i'm the type that doesn't feel bothered to re read the manga for ever single detail =DDAre you one of the people that skips the talking scenes and cuts to the action?
Cause in Hiruzens final battle it was stated more than once that old age was the reason his chakra reserves were so low
It depends. Is it smarter than kakuzu?do you really think the death god can be fooled with... a mere shadow clone?!?! 0_o
Lol niceno, im not. i'm the type that doesn't feel bothered to re read the manga for ever single detail =DD
boldedIt's too hard to read. Space it out, and use paragraphs. Also, I don't think this will change anything. Don't even talk about the Eight Gates or Rasengan, like are you serious?
How do you come to this conclusion? Itachi in his prime did not have plenty of chakra. Kurenai did not either. Itachi is definitely a kage level ninja but he was never a chakra beast.First of all he had a lot more chakra which means he could use many different and larger scale jutsus at once, plus make many shadow clones.
Masterning all jutsu in Konoha is hype that has been proven wrong. Hiruzen could not use all five elements since Jiraiya, his student, said only Nagato could do that. He could not use any of the Konoha hijutsu either since the databook describes them as exclusive to the clans.Secondly he mastered every jutsu in the leaf which means with more chakra and all that jutsu he could combine shadow clones with sealing techs large scale fire style jutsu with wind style, water style with wind, he could use shadow shuriken techs and mix fire and wind style with those....
If he could use the 8 gates, why did he not use them against Orochimaru when he was running low on chakra? Not very convinced about thiswe can also assume that in his
Prime he would of been able to use the 8 gates very well as well since that is a jutsu of the leaf
Please. Jiraiya who has a shitload of chakra with Bunta, who has a shitload of chakra according to the databook, combined to use a katon and it still paled in comparison to the scale of jutsu Madara and Hashirama use. Hiruzen never had chakra on the level of Jiraiya, I don't see him using jutsu on the scale of those monstersso you combine all these techs and more coming one after another then you release he can attack in a variety of different ways allowing him the perfect strategy for every situation. Thirdly after seeing his massive earth wall against Edo tobi and his large firstyle tech we can surmise that in his prime with more chakra he could use a variety of more large scale jutsu and combine them using them consecutively for more effect, so maybe he isn't
Quite as large scale of a fighter as madara or hashi but you can see how in his prime he could make up for it or come close.
Didn't Kakashi say only Minato, Jiraiya and Naruto could use rasengan? I may be wrongFourthly in his young age he would of been much quicker and more agile which means he would of been able to land techs such as the rasengan, which is a jutsu of the leaf created in his time so he must of known it, and other techs much easier then the older version we saw against oro so that does giver him a slight more advantage then the 69 year old version we saw.
Seriously? Jounin level elemental jutsu and Enma would put up a better fight than jinton? PLEASE.Fifthly he has enma, enma can transform into a large Bo staff which can change size and length and seems to be extremely powerful and durable.....in his young age, no, in his prime hiruzen would have been a serious beast with it. Going by all these details, not counting the reaper death seal, I say he could put up a better match against hashi or madara in his then any other Kage at this point in the manga
LMAO. That was pretty damn funny.It depends. Is it smarter than kakuzu?
I'd also like to add that I doubt Hashirama would let a weaker Hokage protect the village he founded, Hashirama would WANT Hiruzen to surpass him. Another thing I'd like to point out is that even if Hiruzen surpassed Hashirama, it doesn't mean Hiruzen can beat Edo Madara. It works like this, let's say Edo Madara is fire, Hashirama is water, and Hiruzen is lightning. Lightning won't necessairly beat fire just because it beats water in the narutoverse. But people don't get that, they assume it to be like DBZ where if Hashi is stronger than Edo Madara and Edo Madara beats Hiruzen, it means Hashi > Hiruzen.LMAO. That was pretty damn funny.
OT: Great thread. I'd like to add the fact that Hiruzen was also Hashirama's student, and therefore probably knew counters to his techs. And he also knew every past Kage's non-KG techs (The Professor).
The only thing I agree with is the thing about rasengan, everything else is simply incorrect, you really it would of bee wise to use the 8 gates against oro at his age? It would ave killed him and probably not get the job done......but in his prime on the other hand....also I think the fact that he used multiple large scale ninjutsu, shadow clones, a summoning and reaper death seal when the Anbu clearly stated he didn't have as much chakra as he used to is proof of how much chakra he mst of had before.OK, fine I will bite
How do you come to this conclusion? Itachi in his prime did not have plenty of chakra. Kurenai did not either. Itachi is definitely a kage level ninja but he was never a chakra beast.
We have seen chakra beasts in their 50's (Jiraiya, Raikage A, Raikagernaut, etc.). All those guys still had PLENTY of chakra in their 50's. Hiruzen was in his 50's when the kyuubi attacked and he still got tired before everybody else. This implies that he was never a chakra beast.
Masterning all jutsu in Konoha is hype that has been proven wrong. Hiruzen could not use all five elements since Jiraiya, his student, said only Nagato could do that. He could not use any of the Konoha hijutsu either since the databook describes them as exclusive to the clans.

Didn't Kakashi say only Minato, Jiraiya and Naruto could use rasengan? I may be wrong
Seriously? Jounin level elemental jutsu and Enma would put up a better fight than jinton? PLEASE.
Hiruzen being able to use every jutsu in Konoha is just a lie. Physically impossible , he doest have kekkei genkai,and he couldnt use rasengan for example(its stated somewhere in the manga I think by Tsunade when Jiraiya tried to teach Rasengan to Naruto that only Jiraiya and Minato could use it). And its impossible that Hiruzen could master all 5 elements, Jiraiya said its unheard of that someone mastered all 5 except Nagato.First off this isn't a hiruzen vs thread so their shouldn't be any flaming,trolling or fanboying and this thread shouldn't get closed. I've been seeing a lot of hiruzen vs threads lately especially hiruzen vs hashi threads and it's all stimming from iruka saying he was the strongest hokage. So let's do a completely logical and thorough analysis of hiruzen.He was obviously much stronger in his prime which is how everyone's using him in their arguments, in his prime...so let's discuss what that means. First of all he had a lot more chakra which means he could use many different and larger scale jutsus at once, plus make many shadow clones.Secondly he mastered every jutsu in the leaf which means with more chakra and all that jutsu he could combine shadow clones with sealing techs large scale fire style jutsu with wind style, water style with wind, he could use shadow shuriken techs and mix fire and wind style with those....we can also assume that in his

Going by all these details, not counting the reaper death seal, I say he could put up a better match against hashi or madara in his then any other Kage at this point in the manga....I wont give you my full opinion on that matter because this isn't a versus thread and I don't want it to get closed or for any flames to start. Now let's talk about reaper death seal, I could be mistake but he sealed the 1st and 2nd inside of shadow clones using this tech and it seemed as tho it only sealed himself when he used himself against oro so could it be possible to use the reaper death seal against opponents with shadow clones and have no harm come to yourself? This is just a question and theory, even if this isn't possible I have already given you enough reasoning up their to make my point. But if we discuss this and this is possible then we can easily see how hiruzen prime who could use multiple shadow clones (according to the Anbu in white watching his fight with oro) could be the strongest hokage. Even if not I
Believe I have made good enough points to prove he could at least matchup quite well with the op characters of naruto. No flaming or disrespect please, if I am wrong in any of these points then please explain how, I would love to learn.![]()
1.its not stated or even implied in the manga that thats physically impossible and that's what counts.Hiruzen being able to use every jutsu in Konoha is just a lie. Physically impossible , he doest have kekkei genkai,and he couldnt use rasengan for example(its stated somewhere in the manga I think by Tsunade when Jiraiya tried to teach Rasengan to Naruto that only Jiraiya and Minato could use it). And its impossible that Hiruzen could master all 5 elements, Jiraiya said its unheard of that someone mastered all 5 except Nagato.
he mentions gates and rasengan????? I'm done U_UIt's too hard to read. Space it out, and use paragraphs. Also, I don't think this will change anything. Don't even talk about the Eight Gates or Rasengan, like are you serious?
1) Its implied if we think of Oro saying that it takes more than one's lifetime to master every jutsu (that were on the scrolls in Konoha)...1.its not stated or even implied in the manga that thats physically impossible and that's what counts.
2. Obviously kekkei genkai is an exception, their was no need for you to even say that.
3. The rasengan thing I agree with
4. No one ever said he mastered all 5 elements, just that he mastered every jutsu in the leaf, furthermore mastering the elements and being able to use them are two different things. Kakuzu used all 5 but he didn't have them mastered obviously because he could only use like 1 jutsu with each element.
1. 69 years is pretty close to a lifetime, oro partially meant he wanted to avoid only gaining that knowledge in is old age like his master.1) Its implied if we think of Oro saying that it takes more than one's lifetime to master every jutsu (that were on the scrolls in Konoha)...
2) Yes it was needed to say(just kidding but then if its an exception then there can be many other exceptions)
3)OK
4) Then the only thing I can imagine is that using jutsus through scrolls (for example like when Shikamaru used water against Kakuzu with a scroll)
