sakumo was said to overpower all 3 sannin by himself when they were in there youth, meaning 20-35ish

I'd reckon his slightly stronger then the sanin. ofcourse we have no insight on his abilities, but we know for sure that he must've been a great swordfighter ^^

if the sanin pale compared to you then you must have some incredible skills .. also Chiyo said something in the line of that her daughter and her husband died by his hands in the war.. so he must've made his name on the battlefield during the 2nd shinobi war :)

edit: I seriously don't understand why Sakumo didn't get revived with edo tensei by Kabuto .. that would've rocked!

By hype he is most likely a High Jonin.

It's said he was respected on the same level as the sannin, Not that he was as strong or stronger than them.

Actually it's says the three Sannin's power paled in comparison to his.

I'd put him up there with Hiruzen, Hashirama, Madara, and Hanzou

ide say he is from the generation before minato's and his power was equal to that of the sannin.. thats wat i believe anyways, we cant make a true estimate of him as we have never seen wat he war really made of... and i wouldnt always go by hype of the character... kishi has a tendancy to rediculously overhype a character just like hiruzen :|

also bare in mind that sannin is a title and not a rank ... << just feel like i shoud point this out

Sannin means legendary.

If the word legendary pales in comparison to him and is inferior/insulting to call him legendary then he was one badass mofo

The son surpasses the father. His only limitation is his low chakra.

I assume he is = Kakashi w/o Sharingan. So a pretty average-above average jounin.

Sakumo had abilities comparable to the sanin when all four were in Konoha.

However, unlike the Sanin, he killed himself before he could get to be as strong as he could.

Now I say he's weaker than the sanin, but not be much.

Strong enough and dead enough that he should have put in an appearance in the war.

Like he also didn't summoned Sandaime Kazekage(said to be the strongest in Sunagakure's history). Like he didn't summon the 2nd Raikage or others. Didn't you think he simply couldn't find his DNA?

I was joking.lol

Im aware of his strength, or the legend that surrounds him.. Im actually sad that he wasnt ressurected. I would have love to see how powerful he was.

So he can find Madara's DNA but not Sakumos'? His body was probably buried at the stone Kakashi always goes to.

And what if the original translation is wrong?

lmao I knew you were a bit slow, but DAMN


OT:

Sakumo was a boss, definitely a Kakashi on steroids. But, now that Kakashi's Kamui being able to one-shot bijuus, I'd say he is under Kakashi now.
