Hiruzen even if Guy is exceptional.
Post this in the fanfic section, Hiruzen knows 8 gates.Guy blitzes him with 7th gate and spams hirudora
Post this in the fanfic section, Hiruzen knows 8 gates.
i must have missed that part, i doubt this... but even taking your word for it, his body cant handle it, otherwise he would have used it vs orochimaru instead of killing himself to seal his arms
Guy goes 7 gates and proceeds to break all the bones in fodderzens body.... hiruzen is waaay too overhyped, and his only feat is dying to orochimaru... prime hiruzen is a featess myth
It's true that Hiruzen does know 8 gates. It would have been foolish for him to use it against Orochimaru, because he would have been wasting chakra with Taijutsu techniques when he needed sealing jutsu to deal with the edo kages and orochimaru.
To OP: Hiruzen wins with Mid to High Diff. Hiruzen + Enma is enough to handle a 7th gate Might Guy, and if push comes to shove hiruzen can just unlock the gates himself while utilizing Emna, which would completely overwhelm Guy.
and where exactly does it say that Hiruzen knows EIG????? may i ask. got any proof of it. Secondly Might Guy fought on par with Madara and actually defeated him if it wasnt for his healing prowess, which Hiruzen does not possess. Might Gai with 8th Gate open would smash hiruzen, with sheer force and speed even with enma as a tool.
The 4th databook states Hiruzen is capable of using all techniques in Konoha. That being said, being able to use the eight inner gates does not mean mastering them. Kakashi was able to use the eight inner gates but only ever opened the first one, and Gai and Lee showed that it took years and years of extremely hard training to open multiple. 16/17 year old Lee could only open up the 6th despite years of training solely in taijutsu with the greatest taijutsu user ever in Gai.
