Hashirama fanboys at it again..just because Kishi has developed his jutsu vault and naruto is nearing dragonballs level doesn't mean hiruzen's hypes and feats are now null and void..in part 1 naruto, spitting fire or water from the mouth was considered badass..in shippuden,elemental attacks didn't mean much anymore...even guys like kakashi,yamato,and all akatsuki members have shown stuffd beyond any character in part1..does that mean that a guy like deidara will give oro with 2 edo summons the fight of his life?..if kishi retconned hiruzen vs orochimaru's fight in this shippuden era,I bet you guys not even naruto vs pain's fight will compare to it's awesomness..hashirama and his bro used about 4 jutsus,hiruzen countered it accordingly with 4 counters..do you guys think that was all hiruzen and his teachers had? NO! Kishi became more creative(even his drawings improved) in shipudden that's why it looks like the hiruzen in part 1 was weak..And again people saying hashirama was stronger because he could counter and restrain bijuus,are just narrow minded..controlling bijuus was an innate ability.its an ability that came naturally to him..just like madara has the ability to control a bijuu..and kisame is called the best bijuu hunter in akatsuki because of his unique skillset..does that mean kisame can beat pain(who struggled with a 6 tailed kyubi)? Or itachi?...NO!...this is simple common sense..
