There you go again, you're argument is based on hype and hype alone. God of shinobi? good for him. Hashirama's power was said to be a fairytail. He was said to be the strongest of the CURRENT five kages, not previous. Hokage's of now suck compared to the previous lot. We've seen him do nothing. Tobi, don't let me start on Tobi, he has the juubi, Rinnegan and he's atleast we've seen his capabilities.
Hiruzen got skill dude he don't need Sharingan, rinnegan, byakugan, trollgan or other of that shiat, did u see the scene where Tobirama sacrifices himself ?
At first Hiruzen wanted to sacrifice himself and said "I am the strongest of us all, I won't die" So shut the fûck up dude, there he looked like 16 or 17, what power do u think he had with 25 ?
In his fight against Orochimaru he was 69.. 69 !!!
What the hell wud a Hashirama do with 69 ? he wud just get raped by the Chunins ..
