Hiruzen could have saved the 2nd.

[RaitonOniKairRasengan]

Here, we see Prime Hiruzen ready to take on the 20 cloud ninja with his neutralizer technique, which everyone knows is the strongest jutsu in known existence. As rougly stated here by asuma

Knowing that Hiruzen would later be needed, the 2nd sacrificed himself in a valiant effort to keep the strongest shinobi in his prime.

He also could have used the indestructible staff to solo the clould ninja as seen in this scan in his fight against oro.

What are your thoughts? Do you think it was right for the 2nd to sacrifice himself for the Prime hiruzen? Why do you think he did? I sure do, and because he knew he would be needed for konohas survival. Discuss.

 

[Slowpoke]

Well that's Interesting. ​

 

[Zealous Sparks]

Haters of Hiruzen, hastily and haughtily harass a hero’s hype as hearsay. How heralds holdfast to the hypothesis that other Hokages are higher than Hiruzen is hoopla. Hashirama’s Hickory. Hiraishin. Hyakugou. HAHA! Hiruzen howls in hysteria. All hail the humble, honorable, hierarch and Hokage, Hiruzen.​

Indestructible staff is enough to stomp 20 fodders, they would simply die from getting hit by such a force

[Kamui Sama]

Rikuzen did not reach his prime yet at that point unfortunately

 

[grizzlyshree]

Hiruzen had far more than enough time to deal with him before Oro and co did. Especially the way Hiruzen fans wank him.

 

[TenthHokagexRamen]

why didn't tobirama and hiruzen team up and foddernize those 20 elite ninjas

 

[End of Days]

So why didn't he defeat SZ?

because Spiral zetsu buddha =/= 20 fodders?

and why are you implying he didnt do anything?

According to you, that magic staff of his should have ended the battle the second it started.
