3rd generation- who is the best.

[Mr.Beastie]

Out of the th 3rd generation of kages who do you think is the best.

Onoki- Fought madara,older than sarutobi and still putting in work. Has the dust element including three other elements(fire,wind,earth). Longest living kage.

Sarutobi- Learned a lot of ninjutsu, Called the god of shinobi( thats what someone else saidnot sure where they said it in the manga) The teacher of the legendary sannin.

Thrd raikage- Tied with a bijuu, ten thousand ninja had to fight him for 3 days to kill him.
Dad of the 4th raikage obvioously taught him too. Probably trained Bee too im not sure.

3rd raikage is basicly Hulk in the Narutoverse...

Onoki*

I'm going to choose Hiruzen. He was the strongest Hokage in history and he did it without any advantages like a Kekkei Genkei, Bijuu, etc. That means he did it all through skill. Plus, he wouldn't be so reckless as to use such a self-damaging technique like the 3rd Raikage. If Naruto was able to exploit it, then I'm pretty sure Hiruzen would be able to as well...

Im going with Hiruzen as well HE knew a lot of justu so he was the most well rounded ninja.
But i dont think the raikage would ever imagine he peircing himself. I seriously doubt hiruzen could counter it naruto was only able to cause he had info and sage mode.

 

[psukkar]

Raikage based on what we know about the 3rd hokage. We havenr seen the 3rd in his prime but I doubt the 3rd could top the raikage. Very few kages would have been able to fight the 3rd raikage. Only other contenders are 1st hokage and maybe 2nd hokage given hes into BS techs

Raikage essisentally is unbeatable more or less.

Also the naruto consited of that rubber dude saving him a few times and the eight tails telling him how his fight went down. I hardly call these things disadavanges to the raikage.

Also kabuto was a noob he didnt know what the raikages weakness was, if the raikage was actually fighting he would have known and retracted his lightning blade after near death experince with the eight tails.

Not mention guys who else can literally fight with a tailed beast, that alone is ridliclous by itself.

Hiruzen was one of the most powerful shinobi in history. In fact, he was so powerful that he was admired as the God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami) in his prime. According to Iruka, he was said to be the strongest Hokage that Konoha ever had as well as the strongest of all the five Kage during his era.[6] Even in his old age, Kabuto Yakushi considered him the strongest of the Five Kage at the time of his death.[7] Enma commented on his battle with Orochimaru, saying that it was "miserable" compared to his prime, even though he had clearly been able to hold his own against Orochimaru and two former Hokage without losing his composure. Even in his old age, his chakra was noted for being very strong, causing a dense effect on the atmosphere when released;[8] furthermore, he was known for having immense reserves of chakra in his youth.[9] He was also the longest living and longest reigning Hokage. Hiruzen also had keen senses, being able to track down the Hokage under Hashirama Senju's Bringer-of-Darkness Technique.[10]

so yeah...hiruzenn

I'm also going with hiruzen, firstly because in the manga it has been said that he was the strongest of his time (kabuto even admits this on chapter 140 page 3, after the failed attemt to distroy konoha)
and secondly simply because of what we have seen. as mentioned above he doesn't rely on KG for his power but simply has a lot of jutsu and manages to combine them to get the best possible attack. his defencive insight is also great, how he quicly formed a cage around himself when the ET first hokage attacked with a forrest. and how he handles his underlings and students. he managed to find something for the idiotic young Jiraya to focus on and because of this new found focus and determination he turned out into a very powerfull shinobi in his own right. so he was not only great in power and fighting, but also in ensuring the future and that the next generation would be capable of surviving

 

[lanakau888]

Sarutobi, hyped to be the best. Possibly the strongest kage of all time.

I dont care what izuka says hes a noob shinobi.

All I know is that 3rd raikage took the 8 tails solo and 10,000 shinobi solo too. The 3rd in his old age difineitly couldnt do this. So if want to fantasize what he could have done in his prime thats ur opinion but the manga so far shows the 3rd riakage to be the best of the 3rd gen.

And besides Izuka said "its said the third was the strongest Hokage" that doesnt mean he was strongest kage.

And even when u use that statment to compare him to other hokages thats not good evidence to use as the statement implies the people of konoha at the time belived it not the entire ninja world. Also the thrid hokage was quite old when that was said as the third raikage wasnt even alive during this time as the forth raikge took over along with the 4th hokage.

 

[tristan]

its not important how many jutsus you'll master...3rd raikage ftw!

LOL I like it how they say "according to Iruka".

And you do realize Iruka said that despite never meeting or seeing the Third Raikage in battle? Third Raikage wins hands down.

If he can take on the Eight Tailed Beast, then I don't think there's any question about him.

 

[Crimsonsamurai4]

They even said Hiruzen was the strongest of his generation of kages.

 

[siyo]

Easy one; both the manga and the databook support the idea that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the strongest of them all.

LOL I like how you think of Iruka as a individual person thats not apart of the manga created by kishi and can do/say whatever he wants and can form opinions. Kishi made the manga....kishi made "iruka" say that and im sure he did it for a reason lol. pwn.

LOL I like how Iruka is an insignificant character.

Anyways, can you answer my question instead of ignoring it? - Do you think if Iruka saw the Third Raikage in battle, he'd still pick him over Hiruzen?

Bonus question: Could the Third Hokage stand up against the Eight Tails?

Hint: Use logic

Hint iruka was made by kishi...the creator of the manga lmao. he made iruka say that because thats how he wanted the 3rd to be seen. as the best kage and hokage lol. and since kishi created the entire naruto universe thing he says what goes. if he wants the 3rd to be the best kage ever he will be the best kage ever.

And to answer your question, did kishi show iruka fighting the 3rd raikage? No...so why would iruka fight the 3rd raikage...? lol. you swear bro these characters dont have minds of their own and make up the story as they go...kishi does.

You didn't read my question properly, did you? xD
I asked "Did Iruka ever see the Third Raikage in battle?" Not necessarily mean he has to fight against him. If he did, he would be toast xD I think we can both agree to that

You wanna' talk Kishi? Let's talk Kishi, then. I'm sure Iruka said that-- no, no. Kishi made Iruka say that during Part 1, right? Kishi probably hadn't even come up with the Third Raikage by then.

By now that you mention it, it does confuse things :/ I mean, Kishi writing things like "Hiruzen was the strongest Kage during his generation", then later stating that the Third Raikage did this and that, etc. It really does confuse things o.o

Oh well. Let's just agree to disagree. You say Hiruzen (damn Iruka >_>), I say Raikage. No need for war xD *handshake?*

Haha for sure every ones entitled to their opinion. *hand shake* But kishi saying the 3rd hokage is the strongest and the 3rd raikage did this and did that is two different things just saying lol. But yeah i vote hiruzen you vote 3rd raikage. Done and done <3

 

[siyo]

Iruka said he was the strongest of all the hokage, but it was Kabuto who stated he was the best of the kages in his generation (including the third raikage).

He defeated three kage level fighter in his diapers while being called God of shinobi.
