There's as much assumption in this post as their is in Hiruzen's ability.
I'm sorry you can't see the merit in the sasori comment, as it directly correlated with the main topic of the thread. Or perhaps you didn't read those comments.
I never said Hiruzen wasn't formidable, but to place him in the higher echelon of shinobi is foolish.
Fanboys overrate him, that's what I'm saying. Perhaps you could see that if you would take the time to read comments instead of writing paragraphs of useless conjecture fueled by insulting undertones.
What the hell did Sakura and Sasori have to do with anything?

So a young and vibrant Hiruzen can only do two kage bushins. The same for an old Hiruzen.
So a young and vibrant Hiruzen can barely lift Adamantine staff. The same for an old Hiruzen.
So a young and vibrant Hiruzen has a weak chakra pool. The same for an old Hiruzen.
So a young and vibrant Hiruzen does not know Konoha's jutsu.
So a young and vibrant Hiruzen cannot use RDS without having to use his body.
So a young and vibrant Hiruzen is very slow, physically weak and have low stamina. The same like old Hiruzen.
You see my dear friend if you agree with the preposterous claims above, you are simply hating and cannot see beyond that of what is implied as basic knowledge. This is no trick, nor am I implying that logic cannot be brought to a fictional world. Old men are weak compared to their younger self. I am not putting him in a pedestal but I am definitely not putting him as a subpar character, worthy of the trash next to it. You are on the other side of the spectrum, Illuminate yourself. Hiruzen is a ninja worthy of any spot between 18-20.
I'm done discussing with you.
Hiruzen > Third Kazekage
Third Kazekage defeated by Sasori
Sasori defeated by Sakura.
This was the progression of the thread with that single member. U_U
Well to be honest. Hiruzen would defeat the Third Kazekage.
Not sure what you mean but Sakuras stronger imo.
I have said nothing of the sort. Literally none of that.
Oh god, i'm not saying that you said that. I said if you AGREE, not Say lol.
Stop trolling Necro.
You keep implying that a prime Hiruzen does not exist, nor that a stronger version of an old Hiruzen is applicable because it was not "factual" etc. Or do you want me to highlight all your responses to show you.
Prime Hiruzen is a fictitious tale. You know who else can use 5 elements, clones, and diamond hard attacks? Kakuzu. Is Kakuzu in the top 20? Maybe. Maybe not. There is no way to measure their ability.
Are we going to go around and around in circles for the rest of the thread? I have stated Hiruzen is not weak. I have stated Hiruzen is not as strong as people make him out to be. You keep stating that I am saying otherwise.
At this point I don't even know what you are arguing, but I have more important things that I would like to be doing, so if this could end here, that would be great.

We have free will dont we Necro? Go forth with your "important" things.
LMAOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sakura is in no way shape or form stronger than Sasori. Sasori was technically one of the strongests in the Akatsuki, it was his Grandmother that did the work. And let's not forget, they needed extreme preparation..
Oh, let's also not forget Sasori allowed his feelings to take hold, & not kill Chiyo and allowed himself to be killed... Let's ALSO remember Sakura's antidotes were purely temporary and she would've died had it not been for Chiyo's Forbidden Jutsu.
OP: Hiruzen is a favorite of mine, but he was heavily retconned.
Well he was said to be stronger than hashirama at prime. But part 2 seems to have put hashirama on a huge pedestal where hiruzens hype seems like nothing.
Hiruzen could have been strongest of all the Kage of all time, we will never know. Due to peace time he was never tested.
You think prime Hiruzen is stronger than Sm Hashirama?
