In my time, being a Kage meant something.

Am I the only fan of the "Professor" around here anymore?
I see a lot of people calling him "fodder" and saying he was the worst Hokage, when he represents both the core of the Will of Fire, and a kind hearted man who saw every single person on the village as his own familiy. You can find a lot of issues with a lot of characters, but when your worst characteristic is that you are "too nice" you can't be that bad.
He was against unnecessary violence and did everything in his power to mantain peace (the fact that it wasn't still in war during the begining of Naruto is because of that) and was strictly against the Uchiha massacre. Itachi only proceeded with the orders because Danzo went behind Hiruzen's back.
Hiruzen trained the Legendary Sannin, who proceeded to train other Legendary shinobi.
Hiruzen was known as the most powerfull shinobi of his time, by both Iruka (who teach Shinobi history as a profession) and Kabuto (who with his history as a spy and shared the vast knowledge Orochimaru had)
And on his overral strenght... What was the thing that a lot of fans of this series complained? That nowadays the only thing that matters is OP techniques, good genes, Uchiha eyes and Senju DNA. Sarutobi Hiruzen represents the hardworking Shinobi to the core. Everything he did to gain the title of Professor was whitout the aid of Kekkei Genkai, dojutsus, Tailed Beasts, Rikudo Chakra or OP techniques like FTG and Edo Tensei. He mastered all five elements (enphasis on mastered) whitout Rinnegan or Sharingan. He had knowledge on all of the hidden jutsus of Konoha and lived trought two Great Ninja Wars remaining the longest Hokage in position.
He had an awesome summon that managed to push back the freaking Kyuubi and doubled as a lenght changing pole a-la Son Goku...
There is that and many other reasons why the Third, despite not being as "flashy" as other Kage level ninjas, should not be underestimated.
Respect the Third.

^^^This is tru and sad. Fodders don't make Kage lvl or am I high? People may think he is the worst Hokage becuz of how he let Danzo run around loose. In the end Hokage is a promise to give you're life and defend the village and he succeeded.

Yeah, but Kishi ****ed up by not bring him back in his prime. I know that would be an asspull but let's get real there are plenty of asspulls in the series, but at least this one would have been epic and actually give us a better understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even the fourth databook still insists on Hiruzen's power. #believeinthehype

"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 "

Dont like how kishi portrays his power. All that jutsu and yet he's using shuriken against juubito. Cant defeat spiral zetsu Shisuusenju, while Karin is destroying it and suigetsu is blowing spiral zetsus freaking brains out. Meanwhile Hiruzen is just staring.

I really wish we got to see him using actual clan techniques.

No you're not the only fans. There's a whole group Hiruzen 5, dedicated to Hiruzen and spread his philosophy and teachings on the base. I myself probably made over 50 threads in the last year about him.

I might get back on my Hiruzen solos shit though now that I think about it, its been a while.
