seriously?
Itachi's susanoo can cut through hashirama's forest anytime
C4 karura can be a most likely fight ender
Chibaku Tensei another fight ender
we don't know what tobirama can do or what HIRUZEN IS REALLY MADE OF.
where is your proof that hashirama can beat itachi?
where is your proof that tobirama can beat deidara?
where is your proof that HIRUZEN which could barely defeat oro could even desire to defeat nagato?
minato DID DEFEAT TOBI (this is the only one that I will accept)
so for facts TEAM AKATSUKI DESTROYS HOKAGES
if it's for hype then TEAM HOKAGES DEFEATS AKATSUKI
This C4 argument gets old. "OMG ITS A BOMB YOU CAN'T SEE!" I can easily say "OMG ITS A MOVE YOU CAN'T DODGE!" about Minato's FTG Rasengan. Look at it from this perspective. In any battle that Kishi would ever write, do you honestly think Deidara would beat any of the Hokage? Deidara never won a single effing battle in the series, unless you count the Gaara fight, when Gaara was much more worried about the village than Deidara. Gaara vs. Deidara in an area away from the village, Gaara wins. Deidara is weak as hell, second weakest of Akatsuki, just ahead of Hidan. And I could make the argument that Deidara is worse than him.
Chibaku Tensei is great, no doubt. This is the only thing I don't dispute in your argument. BUT if Minato could send a TBB away and still have plenty of chakra left, I don't doubt he could send NAGATO'S CT (way weaker than the SO6P's) away.
Hiruzen as a 70 year old held his own against Orochimaru, someone who seems to have become vastly underrated in this forum. Hiruzen as a 30 year old would have his way with Nagato(I mean, Naruto w/o KM went toe to toe with him, come on).
Ahh you bring up an interesting point: proof. Something NEITHER of us have.
However, let me give you a history lesson. Years ago, before the series ever started, Hashirama defeated a legendary Ninja. I think he is name was Midera or something like that. Maybe Madara. Not real sure. Anyways, this guy is considered the strongest Uchiha of all time. Now, fast forward years later, Itachi is born into the clan. Even after his death, Medara is considered the strongest of the Uchiha. Madera also had Susano'o and his didn't protect him from Hashirama. Don't underestimate his wood release either. Therefore, common sense tells us, Hashirama>Midara>Itachi.
Lol at the Tobirama/Deidara argument. I don't even need to see Tobirama in a real battle to know he would wipe the floor with Deidara. Edo Tensei, S/T jutsu and his water release prowess are all better than ALL of Deidara's skills. Tobirama is a Senju (one of the two greatest Ninja clans) and one of its top members(#2 only to Hashirama). Deidara is some village outcast with rejection issues, probably stemming from the fact that his "art" sucks and no one likes it. Oh and on top of that, he has anger issues. What a failure.
Oh I am sorry a SEVENTY YEAR OLD man didn't live up to your expectations by defeating one of the strongest villains in the Narutoverse. Sheesh. Michael Jordan is in his mid 40s now. If he beat LeBron in a one on one game by one point, I think its safe to say that he would have destroyed LeBron in his prime. By that, wouldn't you say its safe to say he could beat Kobe as well if MJ was in his prime? Idk if you know who these people are but some people will get what I am saying. My main point. Orochimaru<Old Hiruzen<Nagato<Young Hiruzen. I mean not only did the guy get named Hokage when he was like 18. Pretty damn impressive just sayin. That would be like someone becoming a five star general in the military at age 18 these days.
Thank you for not disputing this obvious fact.
What facts support that they win? You listed a couple jutsu lol there are no "facts" that will prove me or you wrong. We debate and hope we can sway others with educated guesses and speculation.
