an outdated innacurate databook which doesnt take into account information from part 2.

ignoring the fact oro and sasori beat hiruzen and sandaime kazekage respectively and the fact hashirama > hiruzen and gaara > sandaime

kishi put "unrivalled strength" to describe neji as well. this means nothing

outdated databook? nothing in the databook except ninja stats etc is outdated... character bio's , bloodtypes, hiruzen being the strongest hokage will never change...minato was took into consideration in part 1.. so your argument is invalid...


Really? whats your point? in the manga oro himself said if hiruzen was 10 years younger hed win....enma said he never saw hiruzen struggle in a battle like that.. and in the databook kishi said hiruzen would win if he was 10 years younger...


And so what sasori beat sandaime? , do you know what happened in that fight? , sasori could have offered him a poisoned apple for all you know.. in the end it doesn't matter. sandaime still was the strongest kazekage BY FAR , according to the elders

it has changed. its called RETCON. do you think kishi planned out each and every ability of the hokages? do you think hed have bestowed god of shinobi to hiruzen if he knew the path hashirama would take? why didnt tobirama use s/t ninjutsu or say he knows edo tensei? why would old hiruzen hold his own vs the man who defeated ems madara and kyuubi? and considering hiruzen was practically crying for minato when kyuubi attacked, then minato > 55 year old hiruzen.

Really? whats your point? in the manga oro himself said if hiruzen was 10 years younger hed win
nope. he said if he was 10 years younger hed be able to pull out all of orochimarus soul. meaning theyd both die

enma said he never saw hiruzen struggle in a battle like that
hiruzen didnt fight anyone truly powerful did he? otherwise itd be as famous as third riakage vs 10 000 shinobi and hashirama vs madara.

And so what sasori beat sandaime? , do you know what happened in that fight?
do you? and sasori admitted it was difficult so i can hypothesise it was a real battle.

in the end it doesn't matter. sandaime still was the strongest kazekage BY FAR , according to the elders
they didnt take into account gaara's future prowess.

you are truly a twat.... why kishi chose to reveal that tobirama made edo tensei so late is his business... al that is known is that hiruzen DID know about the jutsu
You must be registered for see images
Which means oro didnt make it , someone else did..


hiruzen didnt fight anyone truly powerful did he? otherwise itd be as famous as third riakage vs 10 000 shinobi and hashirama vs madara.

.....Wtf? of course he fought the other kages... he was known throughout the world as the strongest KAGE even in his old age... did you not hear what kabuto said?




do you? and sasori admitted it was difficult so i can hypothesise it was a real battle.

How the hell can you hypothesise that? they could NEVER have had a full battle in a village without getting noticed by SOMEONE...... the hard part would have been sneaking a fricken kage corpse outside the village and leaving...



they didnt take into account gaara's future prowess

thats obvious....


i dont even feel like coloring my response -_-

I say hiruzen he has more justu has the best summoning on the show knows every justu in the leaf was taught by the 1st n 2nd hokage. in his only fight his charka was strong enough to break the tiles on the roof they were fighting on and could have destroyed orochimaru if he never did edo tensei

its right there in the databook..... i really dont get why its up for arguing,...

minato never reached his prime...according to jiraya he had potential to be top tier, one of the strongest ninjas in the world..... that never happened.. he died yougn in his 20s... he was not the strongest hokage..... its clearly stated hiruzen was.. manga and databook... just like its clearly stated the third kazekage was the strongest kazekage by far.

Owarij, I believe that both the manga and the databooks say "He was said to be the strongest Hokage"

I'll check up on that, but you have to take that statement with a grain of salt because

1. it was made by someone who looked up to Hiruzen as a sort of grandfather figure.
2. Hiruzen was standing right there, and Iruka said "was" and Hiruzen told him not to use past tense.
3. Characters exaggerate all the time.

alright, ignore irukas statement, there are like 3 statements saying he was revered as the strongest hokage... that wouldn't only be iruka.. there had to be more people saying it.....

as well as kabuto's statement, was he exaggerating also?

No I have just been rereading part 1, only Iruka and Kabuto said it. And Kabuto only said "He was the strongest kage of his era" or something like that, referring to when he was the active kage. Kabuto never said anything about the previous kages if I am not mistaken.

Sorry i wasn't clear

3 statements in the databook saying he was revered as the strongest hokage , Konohamaru's bio being one i believe..

I know of the two statements in the manga, Iruka - strongest hokage , Kabuto - strongest kage


What im saying is, take away irukas statement,kishi still stated in the databook that he was revered as the strongest hokage... yes things are exaggerated.. bu iruka wouldnt have been the only 1 thinking he was the strongest hokage... and for that there has to be a reason behind all that hype people give him...

I mean its commonly known that hashirmaa had friken moukouton, and defeated madara.. his battle left behind the valley of the end ....

Yet hiruzen is still being praised as the strongest hokage?



All im saying is we have seen too little of him, but i do believe the statement wasn't retconed by kishi ,

Why the hell isn't Sarutobi first? He BEAT THE FIRST AND SECOND at the same time. God of Shinobi.

Alright, well he may have had more abilities than Minato, but I just don't see a way that he could beat Minato in a fight.

I think that if the Hokages were to duke it out, either Minato or Tobirama would win, due to ST jutsus, edo tensei (for Tobirama), and sealing jutsus/ being able to break contract seals (Minato).

If Minato touches Hiruzen, he loses Enma as a summon, which is a large part of his fighting style.

And once Minato touches someone it is pretty much game over for them, as all he has to do is randomly teleport to them, and he can do that whenever. If I were Minato I would tag someone and then continue the fight and then when they least expect it I would FTG to them and kill them.

i dont see how people can say hiruzen is the strongest wen minato and hashirama took on the nine tails and another opponent ( tobi, madara ) at the same time . hiruzen couldnt even fight kurama/madara/tobi individually so how does he fit as the strongest hokage ? who cares wat iruka says, hes shown nothing that would give him the number one spot

What I mean as well. The 1st and 3rd may be stronger and have more feats than Minato. But in a 1v1, there is no ****en WAY they can win against such an opponent. They can be as strong as they want, i just need a logical explanation on what they will do about ftg in a 1v1 Minato wins, its my non-biased opinion.

1 minato just cause how many ninja have the perfect balance of a defence and offense adds an element speed compariable to a cheatah on steiroids plus on top of it all say hello to sealing techniques of the ancient uzumaki clan so bam
2 hashirama greatest wood users plus battle nine tails and madara single handledly
3 sarutobi sensei master of the elements and high knowledge of nin jutsu
4 tobirama greatest water user of all time
5 tsunade greatest strength in history

This is the BEST post on this thread! Rep to you man!! U deserve it.

Sarutobi is the best because he took on 2 previous kage whiloe fighting oro and he was in old age and was considerably weaker than in prime as stated by many characters including himself sarutobi >first and second

sarutobi was called god of shinobi to not his village but to world of powerful ninja and is the only hokage to make it to retirement.

Sarutobi is likely more powerful than minato although maybe not by far but Kishi did state him to be the strongest kage.

that is why he is the strongest we havent seen a prime saru so stop blabbering and listen to the creator of the Story
