Other than the Buddha, which can be teleported via S/T barrier, why do you think Hiruzen can't do this to Hashirama's other wooden jutsus? [

The flower jutsu?
Hiruzen can do this [

of course, instead of using water, lightning, earth jutsus, he would replace them with fire and wind. The fire is to burn
the jutsu down, and the wind to make those fire jutsus stronger & to carry the pollen to other direction, so it does not
effect them.
Or of course he can use 1 clone to make the wind attack, instead of dividing his power...
long story short, he is not as useless as you think he is...
so we pretty much agree here. Since Hiruzen and Minato know each other, that's balance everything else.
you can consider that why i suppose.
We use it like an excuse? Do you mean that you did not see the manga and what KISHI hightlighted during that fight? Then, allow me to refresh your memory...

As you can see kishi did use it himself. Do you think if this is not an important factor he would highlight it throughout the entire battle? He constantly mentioned that Hiruzen's chakra is way weaker than how it used to be.
and using different example for different people does not work, as people age in different ways. Can I tell you
look at madara he was brought back beyond his prime-self, so you can't use the excuse that the ET made Hashirama
and Tobirama weaker? No, obviously not. As the ET was used by different people who can some the dead at different level of power...
No, toying with his as far as I remember is a mistranslation. If you can remind me which page Oro said he will only toy
with him, it'd be appreciated.
How can Hashi's hype match another hype that clearly states Hiruzen being stronger?
people in Konoha know about Hashirama obviously, otherwise why would they hail him as

?
- The senju hype is about the clan as a whole, that does not mean every single one has that. Tsunade is from the Senju, yet she only use taijutsu and medical jutsus. On the other hand, Hiruzen's hype is specifically for him that he
knows all the jutsus in konoha.
- Dan did not also say that Gai would fodderstomps Hashirama, does that mean Hashirama is stronger than 8th gate gai? No. What Dan is saying is basically that Hashirama did indeed fight madara, and defeated him, so he's sure that he would win, even though when Hashirama returned he actually lost. In addition to that, if people did not believe that Hashi's power was real, then why and how did Dan know about his power and that he's the only one who can defeat madara? :yeah:
- The hype being only hype was used as well against Kakashi's statement about the 8th gate, and about kakashi's statement about the sharingan/Byakugan origin, and against Gaara's statement about the shukaku and the priest...etc
and guess what? All of those were proven to be correct, and the fans were always wrong when it comes to this, when they say "retecon" "Kishi changed his mind"....etc so, this is not a proof.
Well, that's why Minato and his teleporting jutsus there.

as for the clones, both Hiruzen and Minato have clones as well. Also, Hashirama's clones are rather weak, I don't think
it will take a long time for Minato to wipe the hell out of them, same style he did in the 3rd War.
anyway, this is how I see it, perhaps with more feats things might change even a little
since Hiruzen is still fighting, and Minato still has at least one jutsu to use...
thanks for your time...
