Dude any ninja can use shadow and use any element hell the reason he's feat fail because every ninja just did earth justus so that mean with charka any ninaj can do what he just did
And any jon can use 2 or 3 element basically he did what two jon or kask and guy could have done
What hype are we believing in exactly? I don't see what people are seeing in this panel, I must be blind. I see a new feat but i don't believe its fullfilling his true hype it's embarrassing on his part if you think it is. I only like she he was able to counter with the same jutsu, that was cool and gives an idea of his general fighting technique.
It might not be him "fullfilling his true hype" but it's a huge step towards it.
Being able to use all 5 elements to such a high level and possessing shadow clone jutsu gives hiruzen the ability to use endless elemental combo's.
I must admit that he has impressed me. Those jutsu's are really quite large, considering that he is split into 5th's and has a limited pool of chakra due to being an old age edo.
If he was the original without any SC, his katon would probably be even larger than Madara's even at this old age. For example the katon shown in the scan provided by the OP could in theory be 5x larger. That's really quite something. Now I'm going to bring the prime Hiruzen up. We all know everyone is better in their prime. It's fact. That's when they're at their peak.
Now if Hiruzen can achieve this now, I can only imagine what he could do in his prime, with better speed, reactions and an extremely large chakra pool. It all does suggest he might have been stronger than all the other Hokages. But we won't know for sure because I doubt it will be shown. We can only guess what he could be like from the Hiruzen we have now.
Since everyone is quick to derate the only man who has faets of using all 5 elements and creating 5 shadow clones.
Name 1 other person to show feats of all 5 elements in the manga
Decided to show Hiruzen feats in 1 thread since people still won't accept him being top 10

Look at the size of all 5 of those jutsu attacks. Hiruzen was a spec on the map yet produced such a massive jutsu of all 5 elements
Excellent Kenjutsu:
Excellent Taijutsu:
Mastered Reaper Death Seal:
Don't derate the man now that his feats > your favorite characters feats. Let him have the Glory he deserves. After all he was taught by Hashirama and Tobirama
Retsu and HadouKage are Hiruzen haters. You guys can't simply take the fact that an old man whom you both ridiculed is now proving you wrong with ACTUAL Manga facts. Hiruzen singlehandedly countered the Buddha Statue while the 5 Kage and whole Ninja Alliance couldn't do anything with their best attacks. This is MANGA FACTS people. Geeeez.
Even outside of that, the whole shinobi alliance wasn't able to counter it even with the five kages yet hiruzen comes in and is going jutsu for jutsu against it. Even Shikamaru stated the alliance would be finished without hiruzen.
