Hiruzen.

[startup97]

You're seriously underestimating the old man.

When he pulls off baller ass jutsu here soon, I'm going to remember how you thought he was weak and pathetic.

I won't let you D ride him.

Exactly my thoughts! =D

 

[startup97]

So, you come to this conclusion due to the fact that Hiruzen isn't a big player in the fight against Obito at all? Nobody's talking about Hiruzen period, shouldn't that tell you how irrelevant he is at this point in comparison to his fellow Hokage?

Because Kishi is saving him up for the Orochimaru and Tsuande reunion with him. When that happens! Expect OP jutus to comes from him and I hop to see you on the bandwagon when it happens!

 

[AGoodBoy]

Hiruzen is MIA. Where the hell is he? Kishi forgot about the 'strongest kage of his time', 'god of shinobi' XD

 

[startup97]

With those piss-poor reserves? With speeds slower than her?

Latest chapter, Hiruzen's still nowhere to be found.

So what? That automatically makes him weak? It's foolish to think that Hiruzen won't show something. Kishi is obviously saving the best for last and when it happens! Expect the bandwagon to arrive!

What I expect to see is based off of what he has already admitted; I don't expect to see anything above Sage Mode Jiraiya's level, because he admitted inferiority to Part 1 Orochimaru.

So what? That automatically makes him weak? It's foolish to think that Hiruzen won't show something.

No, it means he can't outlast the Godaime Hokage. He will show us something, but it's simply more logical to assume that he what he will show us is what he himself said he was capable of, which, as aforementioned, will not put him above Sage Mode Jiraiya's level.

Kishi is obviously saving the best for last

Oh, so Hiruzen's stronger than Sage Mode Hashirama and Madara now?

Clones distract Tsunade.

Enma transforms into a giant ass pole, solo's Katsuyu real quick.

Enma forces Tsunade to activate seal, Hiruzen waits it out until the seals gone.

When the seals gone, Hiruzen stomps that fodder with OP long ranged Jutsu.

Tsunade has nothing in her arsenal besides super strength and overpowered healing when her seal is active, which isn't active for very long.

Tsunade was also the only Hokage who relied on someone else to protect the village instead of handling the job herself.

There's not a time limit to the seal. It's just the amount of chakra used to heal a wound. Shadow clones aren't ideal for Hiruzen. Anyway, if Hiruzen makes his pole so large, how's Katsuyu not going to notice it? Katsuyu would simply divide and reform. Strength can be used in a variety of ways. For instance, she can knock the ground upwards as a shield or to get Hiruzen off balance. She can throw heavy objects.

You do realize Hiruzen did the same thing at times(Danzo) but he chose someone untrustworthy. He's made 2 of the biggest screwups in the manga.

He could barely make 3 Shadow Clones. What makes anyone think he can handle Sage Mode.

As I recall, Sage Mode requires no chakra expenditure; the user gathers natural energy around himself to utilize along with their normal chakra. So, Hiruzen could use Sage Mode; don't know how many techniques he'd be able to use, though.

OT: It's plausible, in theory. Although, barring the period of time that either Tobirama or Minato were Hokage, I'm not sure where he'd find the time to take leave from Konoha to learn it at whatever location he'd be able to acquire Monkey Sage Mode.

Sage Mode requires the user to have huge chakra reserves, otherwise the user wouldn't be able to draw upon natural energy:

So it's safe to say we won't be seeing it from Hiruzen.

Ah, right. Still plausible that he could use it at some point, then. But no, we won't see it when he's old.

Although, there's still a possibility that when Orochimaru arrives, he'll use his "Lazarus no jutsu" or whatever he and Kabuto did to revive Madara in his prime.

That, or he'll continue to cease from existence, just as Kishi planned.

Not if he doesn't get any panel time lol.

Be patient. He will get his feats.
