He probably only said it out of respect, Madara and Hashirama is like Naruto and Sasuke, they are opposite sides of the same coin, ying/yang, when one improves so does the other and you´ve seen this throughout the series.
They will be equal in their final battle but the thing that will put naruto slighty above sasuke will be the will of fire.
I think that is the same situation when it comes to Madara and Hashirama, that Hashirama is only better because he´s good and "he has something to protect" which is the will of fire.

Don´t exaggerate and let me ask you an off topic question: If you blame them losing to oro controlling them then tell me that Nagato was stronger then Itachi,Killer bee and Naruto.

Excuse Nagato by saying the only reason he was caught in totsuka sword is because of Kabuto.
If both of you honestly believe Hashirama was not stronger than Madara then I am just going to assume you have not been reading Naruto at all. This is way more fanboy stuff than reason. Hashirama has shown his amazing healing ability, stamina, use of Mokouton, and yes he defeated Madara in his prime. The ONLY reason Madara is now more powerful than the first is because he is a HYBRID of the two. This is no longer Madara this is a friin hybrid of the two. He has the first's cells and is able to use them at a high level we saw with the flowery Mokouton. SO PLEASE use so REASON not just love for the characters. If we all used only fanboyism people like Ino would be strongest ninja of all time.

madara is taking the 5 kages with ease because he has ems, rinnegan and mokuton. don't u think that's a little too much? i believe if hashirama had the rinnegan or the ems techniques he would hold himself against the 5 kage with ease.

Madara was way worth all the hype and i say he not only lived up to it but far surpassed it!

So the question: Is Hashirama worth the hype?

Sure, he can use wood, he can heal more quickly then tsunade without seals but does he have anything that would put him above Madara?
I don´think so especially since Sarutobi beat Hashirama and Tobirama at the same time.

Madara is taking on the five kages with ease.
How is Hashirama living up to anything? We still don´t know how the battle at the valley of the end went so we can´t really say he was stronger then Madara, he was probably just a little stronger then him but remember, when Hashirama got resurrected, he was young, just like he would look in his prime which tells you that he died some time after the fight with Madara which is the same thing that happened to Madara! He died some time after.

You might say he´s living up to the hype because of his cells, he lives to the hype because every strong shinobi want a piece of him to gain his power but i could simply turn it around saying that everyone wants the sharingan.

There is nothing that say Hashirama is better then Madara + he had the help of his brother tobirama when he lost to Hiruzen so what does that tell you?

Does he live to the hype? No.

Do you realize the the 3rd Hokage was considered the best and strongest Hokage? I believe that is really the only time that we saw Hashirama's abilities, from him that is, was during Hirizen's fight with Oro. Not to mention that Oro's Edo wasn't perfected yet. So we didn't even get to see his full power.

In my own opinion, I believe that Hashirama surpassed the hype. Especially considering how little there was since he was revealed so early in the manga.

He wasn't controlling any of the akatsuki, and from what I saw he only completely controlled a few of them. And never at the same time as others. So basically he controlled Nagato but did not override his personality entirely until later, while Oro had to override both the hokages' personalities at once and completely control them and coordinate their attacks. When Nagato was completely controlling Nagato there were no other edos being completely controlled

I guess but ur saying hashirama was wayy stronger then madara but thats not true ofc we know hashirama was stronger but it wouldnt be a huge diff in powers because they fought each other more then 1s thats how his name got known by others but madara would have died already if hashi was wayyy stronger plus i dont believe hashirama killed madara without having to try hard and we dont know why the 1st and the 2nd were defeated so easily against the third hokage but it might be cuz of orochimaru not being able to handle it

IMO,

I feel Kishi is trying to force the 1st Hokage on us. I mean if the 1st was this powerful, then when Orochimaru summoned him, it should have been his trump card. With the 1st, he should have been able to take out the entire village then.

Why isn't Yamato all that impressive?


Then it take back what Konoha Leaders say about the next generation surpassing the last.

All Kabuto had to do was spam the rinnengan, while Oro was controlling TWO hokages at once in an enclosed space. So it is an entirely different situation
Kabuto was controlling 10 times more shinobi at the same time he was controlling Nagato so your point is invalid.

Using the fact that Hiruzen beat the 1st and the 2nd Hokage at the same time isn't really a valid argument in my opinion. That was at the begining of Naruto and the power levels were completely different. From the way Kishi is describing the 1st Hokage now he sounds like a comeplete God, with powers that far surpass the edo 1st hokage that we saw. It's nothing to do with oro's poor control or anything else, just Kishi isn't very consistant with what he depicts in the manga.

It's hype after all...

Remember before what they said about Minato before we got a better look at him? It was said that elders in every villages told their shiniobi to ran if the see the Yellow flash, his feats against Tobi, Kyuubi, Raikage/Bee, and saving Kushina from the kidnap. The jutsu he created Resengan, FTG, and Death reaper (not sure about this one 100%).

There was also hype about Madara, Nagato, Tobi, 3rd Hokage, 3rd Raikage, and so on. I guess people should get the drift because its the same case here. We are about to see some flashbacks of Hashirama, so we will see what he is truly capable of and how the battle between him and Madara went down.

Kishi played these cards to get us off are seats which will happen, but the hype of him being the best will die down once he is revealed in combat.
