Just clearing something up.

Hey everyone. I'm here to say something that for some, it might be obvious,but for others, it wasn't clear. It is hashirama's statement.

Hashirama, in the chapter 620, said that itachi was a better shinobi than him. Some fanboys weren't able to understand the meaning of "shinobi", and then these people relate this statement to power, thinking that hashirama is weaker than itachi.
Let's see what the scans say about this.

Here, hashirama says: " Anyway, you had a really great brother, sasuke. He's a better shinobi than me."
Now...

Here, hashirama says what shinobi means: "... shinobi are people who endure to achieve their goals..."

Can you make the connection between the 2 sentences? Hashirama's statement has nothing to do with power, that's why he said shinobi, and use the word "better".

This thread is based on a post made by "Penguin2640", a reply to a thread about itachi that I read this afternoon.
Again, sorry for stating the obvious. This is the second time I have to do this(the first one was about juubi's power, proving that no one alive could solo the juubi). I know that for the people that can think, this is obvious. But itachi's fanboys using this sentences as an argument is starting to piss me off, so I decided to make this thread. Sorry for bothering you.

Kishi knew what he was doing when he made Hashirama say this.

Yeah man those guys are nubs

Kishi..best man

 

[Cosman]

Yup. That was my interpretation.

I don't know how much clearer Kishi could be. He had Naruto put that in a speech, and then Hashirama do the same thing.

 

[Misconception]

It's obvious Hashirama wasen't saying it like that and only a fanboy would say he said it like that...

Not according to the man that made the statement. We don't know how hashirama would fight, he's fought uchihas before, he is aware of their abilities.
