So first of all let me start by saying that before I joined this forum I never even thought Hiruzen is all that. I knew he was good (he was Hokage so of course he was reallt good) but I never saw him as top 10 or even 20 material. However for some reason people at NB seem to think he is like God tier or something. At first I thought it was a joke but no people actually believe he is greater than Madara, Nagato, Itachi, Sasuke, Minato and even So6P (no joke :( ). I've even some people think he could've stopped tobi the day the nine tails attacked. I just can't understand it. I personally feel Guy would take him, I mean this isn't part 1 anymore, so many shinobi have surpassed him IMO.

Anyway just needed to get that out of the way, now back on topic. Now before any fan boys start, I'm referring to the Hiruzen we have all seen fight, not prime, not hype cuz as far as I'm concerned that Hiruzen doesn't exist. Oh what the hell, so hiruzen fan boys don't cry you can use prime hiruzen if you want. I still don't see how Kakashi will lose.

In part 1 Hiruzen would have taken down Kakashi for sure, low-mid diff. But now from what I've seen from current kakashi I don't think its possible. Hiruzen uses fire and earth style jutsu, kakashi also uses earth and fire (I think). Even if kakashi doesn't technically have fire he has powerful water jutsu that can counter hiruzen's fire jutsu. Kakashi used lightning which also overcomes hiruzens earth. Some may say but "oh, hiruzen has mastered all jutsu of hidden leaf, so what - kakashi has over 1000 jutsu copied world wide. So in terms of ninjutsu kakashi clearly wins right.

Hiruzen was called the professer so I'm guessing he's incredibly smart, same goes for kakashi since he's regarded as a genius. From what I've seen Kakshi has more tactical strategic thinking in battle. Hiruzen may have more intellegence but I feel kakashi would outsmart him in a fight.

In terms of speed, you have to be stupid to say Hiruzen, I doubt prime hiruzen is faster than kakashi either. No matter how fast hiruzen may have been, kakashi's sharingan will always give him the advantage since he can read any of hiruzens movements.

I don't even think Kakashi needs Kamui to win this, Kakashi's abilities olone suggest to me that he would win in a battle to the death.

This is just my thoughts though, feel free to tell me otherwise but no fanboyish arguments such as because hiruzen is god of shinobi he will win (BS!!).

I agree, he is extremely overrated it's just not normal, but I do believe that he can beat Kakashi because he still has his great summon and other great tehniques

Kakashi doesn't have fire style in the manga, he has Raiton (his main), Suiton and Doton. I think Kakashi is def Kage material and would be a challange for Hizuren.

What fight scene? The one from Generations game? That was not cannon. The game designers put that clip in themselves.

If you read the manga then you would know that in his prime he is among the elite (although unlikely to be at the very top). So saying he's not even top 20 material is just laughable. It must be said though that old man Hiruzen doesn't have the feats to defeat current Kakashi.

He is far underrated by the people whom aren't fans, and some fans greatly overrate him. The ones who call him "professor", or "god of shinobi", get it from Kishi's words, but then when they try to use that, some hater goes and says Kishi changed his mind.. e.e; Kishi never said "I change my mind, Hiruzen is now weakest.." That's just the result of haters being dropped on their heads at birth.

I still feel kakashi exceeds him in ninjutsu. Kakashi has summons too, not king enma level but he won't trouble kakashi much.

I did say I wasn't sure about fire style.


My view is guys, hiruzen is slightly underrated (he did take oro, 1st and 2nd) but he is overrtaed a lot more. I don't see him or prime version beating current kakashi.

its gonna be real close

while hiruzen may be able to match or even outmatch kakashi's ninjutsu or taijutsu due to his reputation as the professor, he has no counter for Kamui, which kakashi is bound to use since i believe kakashi cannot win otherwise

Anyway it seems he is much like sannin whose abilities are based around their summons which actually makes sense since he was their sensei , Hiruzen seems to be a close-mid range fighter along with enma.

Seems he prefers Hand to hand combat or a fight with enma in its transformed form rather than a fight which involves jutsu exchange

he has no counter for Kamui
No counter that you know... For all you know he has a jutsu that can cover the battlefield in smoke/fog

Or maybe he even knows his master's just bringer of darkness.. Given his reputation, he was stated to be a master of genjutsu and has over 1000 of them...

Based on the two /three jutsu we've seen he can't win..
But his hype given by enma, oro etc indicated he was nothing like that in his prime


I still feel kakashi exceeds him in ninjutsu
What? when kakashi is mentioned his jutsu number is only about 1000 and over..

hiruzen has 1000 genjutsu's alone..
And 5's in both nin , gen and tai... something kakashi doesn't have..

Well Hiruzen has his hype and that's why we can only speculate what he was really capable of doing.

hiruzen was nothing until nb came quite popular and trolls misinterpret him, for me he has displayed nothing to make him a threat for kakashi or guy never mind itachi, nagato and madara
