He is stronger than hiruzen it seems but I still don't like the fact that kishi is saying this so late in the story, if he wanted to make hashirama so great from the beginning then why didn't he hype him earlier in the story? why do it so late now? and I thought the god of shinobi was hiruzen, but now all of a sudden its hashirama? wtf is that kishi? Ever since this war started he has been hyping hashirama like hell but all of that could have been said earlier, it seems to me like part 1 and part 2 were written by different authors.
To me this is an a$$pull.
