Biggest Handicap ever, old Hiruzen's Age

[Senju Bean]

Itachi's Aids slowed him down, boo hoo

Hiruzen had far worse condition, he was so old, he was on the verge of death, but unlike Madara, he doesn't need Gedo Mazou. He survived off of his pure badass strength.

Of course, hanging on by a thread all the time means he had a huge handicap.

Plus he was holding back.

 

[Tantalus Thief]

Hiruzen in his old form and not in full power as edo tensei cancelled four elemental attacks from the buddha. Imagine the scale of power of his prime.

 

[Joon]

Plus he was holding back.

Orochimaru was really a tough opponent yet Hurizen manage to stay on equal footing despite Psychological Tactics of Edo Tensei (the reincarnation of his fellow teachers Hashirama and Tobimaru); suffering from trauma of fighting his former subordinate; and his old age.

Believe the Hype, believe in Hiruzen.
