Prime Hiruzen strongest Hokage?

[Donald J Trump]

People, It has been stated in the manga by Masashi Kishimoto himself that Prime Hiruzen was the strongest hokage. How can you be denying this?

It's like proving 2+2=4 yet you think it's 5. The Mangaka said it through other characters so it means it true.

 

[SilverfoxUchiha]

They had not met Hashirama. When they saw Hashiramas Buddha Statue during the War that's when they actually realised the level that Madara and Hashirama were actually on.

 

[patrickscott]

Remember when all the hokages said Juubito is stronger than all of them? :sdo:

 

[Ricardo]

Nah, Naruto takes the honor for that title :sdo:

Juubito is actually stronger than all of them.
OP: Despite the fact Kishi has said it himself people deny the power of Hiruzen smh.

 

[AllKnowingShinobi]

idk if he was all that great im mean he had to use a death seal it seal what ... two arms . he was brought back as a grandpa like why did everyone else like madara new thier 20's body , i know oro and kabuto did say they did some modification but really. he was probably alittle stronger than danzo because of the whole yin and yang shit.
it wouldve been cool to see him go into a monkey king sage mode or an awsome combo with a wind style infused within a shirenkin then turned into shadow clone of it but of course all originality would go to the fourth because he has a better charater design.

 

[Urda]

I think his Prime has been overlooked by his old age. Also, his tittles were exaggerated.

We've heard of things being exaggerated.... For ex. The sage of six paths being nothing but a legend. I'd rather see him in his prime then strictly just be told but it is what it is..... Maybe they should make a hiruzen shin den

 

[Chikombo]

I thought it mean strongest in the village at that current moment. But he was pretty strong he battled all the previous kages and orochimaru except for Minato so.

 

[Desmodus]

Power levels in Naruto are not the best. At first, Kakashi did not show his sharingan twice to the same opponent, but after the first battle, he uses it on nearly daily basis.

The same with Hiruzen - at first, he was shown as really strong, but as the manga progressed, the power levels changed.

 

[Rikodou Mode]

Remember when all the hokages said Juubito is stronger than all of them? :sdo:

So you're saying Hiruzen's power is comparable to a JuubiJin ? Makes sense :tea:

 

[Phact]

Prime Hiruzen>> Hashirama... end of discussion

 

[V h o]

Going by hype Hiruzen is stronger than Hashirama, Tobirama, and perhaps Minato depending if it included him. Although newer hokage such as tsunade, Kakashi, and Naruto are not in that comparison.

That's before mah boi Nanadaime came into the picture.

Just more proof Hiruzen was godly, his power seems so unreal it's considered a myth like the Sage. But Orochimaru never exagerrates, he acknowledged Hiruzen as being a god of shinobi in his prime

 

[InfiniteMugen]

Eh,we'll never see it, like I said, this prime hiruzen deal only makes me want to see him fight as a younger man in his prime at least once. Not even to prove the myth that's just fun arguing. I just wanna see the dude fight lol

Fourth Databook proof!!!

Translation: Hiruzen earned the title of professor for being a researcher. He was trained by both Hashirama and Tobirama, as the man that would succeed them. At a young age he showed greater talent than Tobirama in the Nature Elements. All five nature alterations, Hiden (clan techniques), Genjutsu, all Ninjutsu existing in Konoha which explains his reputation as the professor. Hence the essence of Hiruzen is his talent with ninjutsu. Everyone in the village is his family member

5 Elements - Not even his full power???

Since Hiruzen was revived at old age, his chakra and power should be as low as before but wait... Tobirama states that the Hokage have been revived "close to original power" this means Hiruzen was revived weaker then he was alive at old age yet he was able to produce the 5 Elements at such mastery. Just imagine his Prime.

The Third hokage's comrade in arms, the monkey king enma's transformation jutsu Characterized by the hardness of diamond and its at-will extensibility, Kongou Nyoi-Bou is Sandaime's"weapon of choice", so to speak and with it in hand he's made it through a world of war for an extended period of time.

Also, when Enma is transformed into Diamond Shifting Staff, it is also possible that he can attack out of his own free will, his claws and fangs add an element of surprise and irregularity. Forged in the fire of battle, its at-will transformation-based attack and defense go beyond the scope of proficiency, to attain the realm of Shinobi "godhood".

-The main method of attack consists in strikes and thrusts that take advantage of its extensibility. The hardness of diamond translates into destructive power.

Durability Feats - Super Kage Bunshin???

Hiruzen has shown to have excellent durability feats at age 69 with his Kage Bunshin as one of his clones was stabbed by Hashirama with 4 Kunai in the chest yet did not disperse until Hiruzen was done with it. He was also able to hold Orochimaru's soul for an hour long despite being stabbed through the chest by the Sword of Kusangi.

Dangerous CQC

Spoiler

Even past his Prime, Hiruzen had showed excellent Close Quarter Combat skills. Moments after sealing parts of his soul away to seal the Edo Hokage and exhausting his remaining Chakra on Kage Bunshin, he was still able to easily disarm Orochimaru from his Sword of Kusangi with great ease and catch him to prepare his sealing Jutsu. He was also able to easily break through the Shinju branches and save Naruto despite Tobirama and Minato unable to get through.
