I just see him as underrated may or may not be the case for you but i do. in his prime, and was said to be the strongest Hokage that Konoha has ever had, also when the Allied Shinobi Forces were faced with Guruguru and his gigantic Wood Release statue, Hiruzen single-handedly repelled the attack, plus he has good taijutsu and 5 nature type's, in my opinion he should be treat more seriously in MY opinion

Key word - said.

By feats Hashirama completely destroys him.

Also statements made from characters ( in this case Iruka) cannot be taken as a fact. Iruka has never seen Hashirama to judge.

I think the Prime Hiruzen jokes are wearing off they don't sound as funny anymore.

OT- Yes he's just strong enough to be a hokage. The key word here is - JUST.

He is said to know nearly every jutsu in the leaf, as well as what i already said, you shouldn't take him so lightly, also stop replying to my posts, you have literally nothing meaningful to say

He is underrated because he isn't a senju or the father of the child of prophecy so he gets no love from Kishi. When he does show him off he ends up saving people's bacon.

Definately underrated.

this, most of his feats are hype and people hype him up just because he was said to be the strongest in his prime. I consider him strong but not top 10

Your definition of meaningful clearly differs from mine.

Hiruzen is strong. definitely, there's no doubt about that. he's underrated by many, but thats because so many overrate him and wank em so hard it's easy to forget he's actually pretty skilled. i mean for a non senju/uchiha.

dude that like the kakashi thing. He was said to have copied over 1000 jutsus but until we see them talking about anything we havent seen would be hype. Its not like they said sarutobi could do say shadow strangle jutsu but it said all jutsu in Konoha which is easy to ignore.

He probably would still be alive if he could

I find that he is more overrated than under,sure there are plety of threads about him that underrate him but I've seen twice as many that overrate him. He's not the strongest or the weakest.

Yeah he repelled that wooden statue's attack but karin turned it into fire wood. Does that mean prime karin>prime hiruzen? Lol

The way he's portrayed means little to nothing in NB where feats are the criteria used to judge a characters strenght. Guess what Hiruzen is lacking...
I do think some aspects of him are underrated, but overall its no surprise he's considered one of the weakest kages due to what i said above.

And everytime he loses his image once he appears with his uselessness...
Only thing that's keeping him away from my hatred is his mount load of hype which isn't anytime soon going to be proven...

Underrated and Hiruzen don't go together.

@bold Even this is not keeping him from my hatred.

I disagree, there are plenty of ppl who can take him and I honestly think Oonoki is far more impressive

He's the jack of all trades(aka he's extremely versatile), but he lacks a single OP jutsu that all the top tiers have such as jinton,bijuu bombs, wood dragons,kamui,amaterasu etc(unless you count the suicide rds.....)
