So I think he was pretty strong. Also, Silver and Golden bros were only sealed you know not defeated.
But the thing is he isn't HAILED as the best. Also, Kishimoto did have all this planned out. When he introduced Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
True True!!Prime Hiruzen is easily a top 5, He is highly underestimated though U_U
"number 1 is the best". It depends on how you use the word.best
/best/
Adjective
Of the most excellent, effective, or desirable type or quality: "They are the best pitchers in the league".
You're an idiot...all the anbu guy were saying is that they were both excellent shinobi's.. that's the meaning he was using best in...
"number 1 is the best". It depends on how you use the word.. Unless you wanna argue about Sarutobi having a chance against the SO6P.
ACTUALLY..... It was neither Iruka nor the Anbu that mentioned Hiruzen's title.......The best is all based on opinion. People that seen Hashirama at his prime would consider him the strongest shinobi of all time and the same goes for the people that seen hiruzen at his prime. Most people base things on what they've seen or from the words that somebody that has seen those people in action. Example: people believe Hashirama is the strongest because kabuto and madara said it was so, but others argue that hiruzen was the strongest based off those anbu and iruka's words.
We shouldn't be asking who is the strongest because it really is an irrelevant subject. I think every hokage will be the best to somebody its just who are you inquiring your information from?
But I'll give what I believed every hokage excelled in.
Strength: Tsunade and Hashirama.
Speed: Minato
Intelligence: Hiruzen, Minato and Tobirama
NinJutsu: Hiruzen
Taijutsu: Hashirama (maybe Hiruzen depending if and how many gates he could use)
Stamina: Tsunade and Hashirama
But this still proves my point it that we all are using people's word of mouth. We know very little so we draw conclusions based on other people's opinions.ACTUALLY..... It was neither Iruka nor the Anbu that mentioned Hiruzen's title.......
It was him:You must be registered for see links
Oh really? Who was the other guy that hyped up Hashirama? Oh that's right.....it was Orochimarus pet, Kabuto.But this still proves my point it that we all are using people's word of mouth. We know very little so we draw conclusions based on other people's opinions.
And noone said he didn't in the manga either
Noone said sarutobi had a chance against the so6p in the manga though
They cant both have been the strongest, since madara specifically said only hashirama was the strongest.... Which means the word best either meant in their time
or that they were just both of an excellent quality
Noone said Sarutobi had a chance against the real life Hashirama
And your inability to understand words is quite annoying.. and then twisting them up. This is why its better to argue with people like Hipster Madara and many others.^Your inability to understand manga scans properly is disturbing...
Now you're changing to it means they are 2 of the best in the village?
still doesn't contradict hiruzen being the strongest hokage
and it can't be that both of them are the best, since as I said, Madara said hashirama was
actually people believed he was the strongest hokage, so yea
Dude that guy is a hardcore Hashirama fanboy...he will never listen to reason! You're wasting you're time....how many times must I say that best is equal to an excellent quality...
So yes, the anbu were saying that hashi and tobi are two of the strongest ninjas konoha had... But that isn't saying that they were the strongest....
