Minato and 3rd Hokage are the strongest dead shinobis

[Youngkhalifa]

That's what kishi said in this old interview

J = Shonen Jump
MK = Masashi Kishimoto

SJ: There's many rumours regarding Madara being the absolute final villain. Is this true?

MK: Madara being the final villain is yet to be seen and I can't let that information out just yet. But he will play a big part as a villain, that's for sure.

SJ: Now that it's officially known that Yondaime is Naruto's father, will you show more of Minato?

MK: Yes, definitly. I actually wanted to reveal more about Yondaime earlier, but other characters were in development and some fights still had to be dealt with.

SJ: While we're at it... could you please tell us if Minato was the strongest shinobi that ever lived?

MK: Hmmm, it's a tricky question. As far as dead shinobis goes, then yes, he's the strongest. I'd say that Sandaime shares the number one spot with him. As far as living shinobis goes... well, without going into many details I'd have to say no. There's a couple of shinobis whose stronger than him.

SJ: Now that Itachi seems to be dead, what is Kisame going to do now?

MK: Kisame has always come off as a sidevillain whose only purpose is to travel along Itachi. But to my surprise, Kisame has gone from an unpopular character to someone whose more popular than Deidara after the Gai-fight. I won't say too much, but Kisame is a character that wont die anytime soon. I will definitly develop on his character more and possibly make him...

SJ: Make him what?

MK: It's a surprise.

Fake interview

 

[Legendary Broly]

How old ?

 

[Dantee]

Fake and gay

 

[NStraw]

Nice one let's hope its true

 

[Lucci]

I've seen that before, didn't someone confirm it was a fake or something? IMO Hashirama, Muu and 3rd Kazekage are certainly stronger than Minato and Hiruzen.

 

[KING KISAME]

When was this

 

[Youngkhalifa]

How old ?

March 2008

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

So many spelling errors I doubt it's legitimacy. Good try though.

 

[Insidious Smile]

This is Old.

 

[Sage OfThe 6 Paths]

fake

 

[OnPoint]

It's a confirmed fake interview.

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

I've seen that before, didn't someone confirm it was a fake or something? IMO Hashirama, Muu and 3rd Kazekage are certainly strongly than Minato and Hiruzen.

Have to agree....just can't see how those two best out these guys...heck I'd even add the Mizukage considering he did kill Muu.....

 

[xXBlazinNinXx]

When was this? Sounds like after the Itachi fight and pain fight...seems old and kisame is dead...so no development made -sighs-

 

[November]

if it's fake, i still like it because it shows that minato is a fodder(i mean he's not number 1) xd

:rofl: Thank you for that laugh.

Yeah gotta agree with that, can't believe I forgot him lol although I'd be interested to see how a Minato vs 2nd Mizukage thread would turn out.

:rofl: Thank you for that laugh.

Sarcasm eh?

Seriously though, Hashirama and Muu aside (since they need to explanation). Minato would be screwed against the 3rd Kazekage. It's a bad matchup for him considering the kazekage's magnetic kekkei genkai abilities and his ability to create sand from iron (making it stronger than normal sand). This would screw up Minato's field advantage because the Kazekage could just move his kunai around and set up traps thus making it dangerous for him to use FTG.

Against Hiruzen he shouldn't have a problem either (unless he whips out RDS ultimately ending it in a draw).

 

[W01fTamer]

Obviously fake. and even if it wasn't, through the developments of whats currently going on, the 1st hokage seems to be the strongest dead shinobi

Well said, even though I disagree
