how does that prove my reading comprehension skills are poor? please do explain?
i do understand actually, Its pretty basic if you ask me. first i read the part where its said that "Hiruzen in his prime surpassed 1st and 2nd hokages." Then, i came across edo madara who clearly stated that hashirama is the only one who can beat him.
How is that an immediate fail on my part when the facts are true?
trolling like you have nothing better to do? here's an idea wait for kingdom hearts 3 for 10 more years.
If you've been reading this manga correctly, you'd know that Hiruzen stands no chance against Madara. Hiruzen being the strongest Hokage is so obvious a retcon that you'd have to be foolish to miss it.
Databooks 1 and 2 said Hiruzen was the strongest Hokage but Databook 3 didn't..I leave you to ponder on that.
Plus you used A>B>C logic, which doesn't apply in Naruto so try again.
So, being able to read and understand the manga is trolling? The only trolling here is you making this thread and then justifying it with A>B>C logic of all things.
