Hiruzen Sarutobi

[startup97]

I have come to understand that Hiruzen on the base is considered by most to be "fodder" I don't understand why he gets ranked so low especially if he didn't even get the chance to show his full abilities in the war yet. Shuriken Shadow Clone jutsu was just to analyze Obito's attacks. Also anyone saying he does not have an A rank technique is wrong. Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu IS an A rank technique

I find it hard to believe that someone whom both Hashirama and Tobirama believed in to protect the future shinobi could be weak.

Here is what I know
- 3rd person to earn the name "God of Shinobi. Surprisingly only 3 shinobi share this name. The SO6P, Hashirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi. If Tobirama and Minato were strong, how come they never earned these titles. Hiruzen must have done something great in order to earn this nickname.
「プロフェッサー●[...]里にある全ての術を知り尽くし、かつそれらを自在に使いこなすことに由来。」
- Named "The Professor: [...] The origin [of this nickname] lies in him knowing thoroughly all the jutsu that exist in the village and also being able to use them easily at will.'
- Survived 3 Great Shinobi World Wars
Danzo admitted inferiority to Hiruzen despite having the cells of Hashirama, Izanagi and Kotoamatsukami from the eye of Shisui.

He along with the other Hokage are named the "Biggest of the big fish" implying that he is also on the level of High Kage Caliber. The statement includes Hiruzen

Kabuto even said that he was the strongest out of the 5 Kage despite his old age!

Even after Hiruzen had sealed parts of his soul away, fought for quite some time, diminished his chakra greatly with shadow clones, disarmed Orochimaru sword in close combat easily, and had the speed to sneak up in front of him and while having the sword of Kusangi pierced through him, he was still able to hold Orochimaru's soul with the Reaper for an 1 hour long.

Because Tobirama lived in the same era as Hashirama.

Hiruzen is a failure U_U Tobirama splashes him and he's dead Lol

 

[KingHashirama]

From those 3, Hiruzen is also the only one who lost his title as The god of shinobi.


- Most likely non-KKG

- Leaf had strong ninja to fight for the leaf.

- Danzo is just overhyped.

With all that said, Hiruzen will be the second or third strongest Hokage.

 

[Shikamaru101]

I agree I really hope he gets some awesome feats, but i don't think he is on Kishi's mind.

 

[The Work]

Yup Hiruzen is fodder

He's way out of his league on everything.

 

[LUMOS ULTIMATUM]

Why is he called God of Shinobi?

Tobirama and Minato fodderize low-diff gg

 

[KingHashirama]

Tobirama and Minato fodderize low-diff gg

not even close.

 

[Mejkl3]

Hiruzen doesn't have many OP jutsu ... what makes him strong is his "will of fire".

 

[startup97]

Tobirama and Minato fodderize low-diff gg

Sorry but I disagree!

 

[Shikamaru101]

By feats he gets defeated by Konohameru. By hype, he's well up there with Hashirama.

I'd like to see Konohamaru keep up with watered down Edo Hashirama and Tobirama at the age of 70.

 

[Shikamaru101]

That's not really my point though, is it? Have we seen Konohamaru at that age? No.

You said Konohamaru beats Hiruzen in feats which is laughable, and i have shown a feat which Konohamaru could never do.

 

[SeBa]

i agree of course... only idiots consider him fodder

 

[startup97]

By feats he gets defeated by Konohameru. By hype, he's well up there with Hashirama.

What is Konohamaru going to do?

 

[HashiramaIsBack]

Tobirama lived in same era as his brother Hashirama that is called God of Shinobi.So there can't be 2 Gods in same era.Please get it,Hiruzen is the weakest Hokage,okay maybe he can beat Tsunade

 

[Naijakid]

Ok........

 

[Cursed Prince]

not even close.

Oh right.
They fodderize Hiruzen neg-diff?

Hiruzen doesn't have many OP jutsu ... what makes him strong is his "will of fire".

Sorry but I disagree!

I disagree with your disagree :/

Tobirama lived in same era as his brother Hashirama that is called God of Shinobi.So there can't be 2 Gods in same era.Please get it,Hiruzen is the weakest Hokage,okay maybe he can beat Tsunade

Exactly U_U

 

[Thundercles]

I've read a lot of "Hiruzen is fodder comments" and I would like to point out a few things:
- He was like 70 when he battled a younger stronger Oro.
- He wasn't emotionally in the game. He was fighting someone who was like a son to him.
- Everyone's techs were nerfed in part 1.
- His power is as limited as Kishi's attention on him.

 

[startup97]

Oh right.
They fodderize Hiruzen neg-diff?

:|

I disagree with your disagree :/

Exactly U_U

Your kidding right?

 

[grizzlyshree]

Tobirama lived in same era as his brother Hashirama that is called God of Shinobi.So there can't be 2 Gods in same era.Please get it,Hiruzen is the weakest Hokage,okay maybe he can beat Tsunade

is it Islam or christianity? during Hashiramas reign,Hiruzen was just a small kid. how can you compare hashirama and Hiruzen when their prime were in different eras?

what you say feels like as if there was a wrestling match between the hokages where Hiruzen lost the title to Hashirama which is not ttrue.
being hailed as a god of shinobi means you have legendary powers or abilities(or jutsus). i am sure he beats tsunade but again we havent seen his feats. we have to wait ofr the coming chapters.Kishi didnt revive him for no reason.
