Hypothesis:
Evidence:
- Today, I will be explaining to the members of the Narutobase forums, why I believe that Hiruzen used a form of Space/Time Barrier while fighting Kurama in his time off panel. My hypothesis is based solely on statements,character locations and personal speculation.

Evidence:
- Hiruzen's and Minato's Location
As we can see from this one place, Hiruzen was not in the battlefield yet because he had taken the time to put on his sweet ass battle armor from his closet. Minato on the other hand, was already on the battlefield confronting Kurama. Which means Hiruzen had not seen the first Bijuudama that Minato successfully countered. I will get into why this is relevant in my next point.You must be registered for see images
- Hiruzen's Statement
Now from the first red square we see that Kurama is indeed about to fire another Bijuudama. And from the second red square, we see Hiruzen's statement. He says "Not again...!" This fully implies that Hiruzen indeed had dealt with a Bijuudama from Kurama when Minato was gone fighting Obito. My friend in class was arguing that Hiruzen might have been talking about the Bijuudama that Minato dealt with. But my first evidence above proves that Hiruzen had not seen the Bijuudama that Minato dealt with, therefore Hiruzen must have dealt with a personal Bijuudama.You must be registered for see images
- I have concluded that Hiruzen may indeed knew Space/Time Ninjutsu. If you noticed, the village wasn't trashed by a Bijuudama explosion. The only ways in manga to completely counter Bijuudama before it's explosion is with either Space/Time Barrier just as Minato has shown, or Preta Path. We can easily eliminate Preta Path, because obviously Hiruzen does not have a Rinnegan. Not only that, it isn't too far fetched that Hiruzen has Space/Time Barrier because Orochimaru did state that Hiruzen has mastered every jutsu in Konoha. So If you guys agree with my evidence above that Hiruzen dealt with a personal Bijuudama from Kurama, then I conclude that Hiruzen does indeed know how to use Space/Time Barrier. Though he can only use it once considering his chakra levels deplete greatly as he grows older.
