That guy proved you wrong. Also this statement let's me know ur ignorant and talking to you would be a waste of time.
What else would you expect from a Hashirama fanboy? Orochimaru perfected Edo Tensei and even if Hashirama and Tobirama displayed all of their techniques, I don't think Kishi would allow Orochimaru to destroy Konoha and end up with no story. He would make Hiruzen stronger, and even Hiruzen himself stated he was the strongest. People always ignore this.
Iruka stated "He WAS called the strongest Hokage"
Hiruzen replied "Hey, Iruka!! DON'T SPEAK IN PAST TENSE!!" Honestly, Hashirama fanboys are idiots. Hiruzen was taught by Hashirama and Tobirama, he's aware of their techniques, fighting style, and skill, yet he still stated that, AT AN AGE OF SIXTY NINE!!
Ok in all fairness since part 1 kishi has given hashirama a nice lil power up. But I asked for facts. The fact is in part 1 he let everyone know hiruzen was the strongest. Then he had hiruzen beat hashirama and tobirama. Not since part 2 even tho hashirama supposedly have these new powers but what facts do we have to prove he is stronger than tobirama? And to answer my own question their is NO FACTS to prove this just speculation.
Precisely this. No one makes up a story and makes up things along the way. They plan the core of the story, make sure the major details are going to be in the story, and fill in the minor details. Yet people honestly believe that Hashirama is stronger than Hiruzen. Honestly, then why would Kishi state Hiruzen is the strongest Hokage? I don't think Kishi made this manga for idiots.
I'm just going to.say this. No one should use Edo madara as a way to decide how strong the first is. He has both senju and uchiha DNA. He is an Edo plus rinnegan. Most of whichadara didn't have during the battle. Also in the manga it stated that mito (1sts wife) helped the 1st in that battle. The manga said that in order for mito to better help the 1st she sealed the 9tails in her DURING the battle. So the 1st had help. But also madara wasn't as strong as he is now. So its not fair to judge. Plus we can't really get a good idea of how strong hiruzen is because we only saw him in part one. If he was in part 2 we would surely see a stronger hiruzen. Remember when it was stated in the manga that the 2nd was considered the best water ninja because he can make water appear out of thin air when no water is around. U needed a water source to use water jutsu. How many ninjas have done this since then in part 2. Even kakashi used water jutsu in a desert like field when fighting kakazu. There was no water around. So u can't really say much. But all I know is that kishi has stated that the 3rd and 4th were the strongest. Until he says other wise. Regardless to what's hinted. His words are fact.
Tobirama isn't the strongest water user because of making water out of thin air, Tobirama is the strongest water user because his water jutsu were unparalleled. He could use a water jutsu with one hand seal, no water required, and the level of the technique was probably s rank.
Yet he still believes hes not stronger then Hashirama.
He's stated Hashirama is the only one with a chance to beat him. He's never stated or implied that he's weaker than Hashirama, and it's very likely that he's underestimating his own strength if he's seriously suggesting Hashirama can defeat the Rinnegan + Edo body with unlimited chakra + Hashi's techniques. Hashirama had trouble against EMS Madara who had limited chakra, no Mokuton, and no Rinnegan. Isn't it possible he's referring to Edo Hashirama because he doesn't know Hashirama's sealed?
lol youve been proven wrong many times -_-
He just won't listen.
I think most people got that idea when Kabuto said how his power seemed like that out of a fairy tail, like the Rikudo Sennin - add to that the techniques we've already seen from Edo Madara, and it is quite impressive. Most people seem to agree Kishimoto decided to retcon his own story with this. Hiruzen should logically considered to be the strongest, but Kishi doesn't seem to know how to make up his mind and it looks like he switched over to Hashirama :/
Or maybe he didn't make his manga for idiots who can't use logic.
