U still ignore the fact the other people may not actually know Hashirama . . . Read again please.
I recommend you learn to read, then quote me,
Iruka nor orochimaru never said "I think Hiruzen is the strongest hokage"
Iruka said Sandaime hokage was considered the strongest of the hokages
And orochimaru said " You who was hailed as god of shinobi"
Do note it isn't their opinion.. They are both commenting in past tense on something other people have said
And the manga has made it clear hiruzen was deemed stronger by the people of konoha
> Your opinion
Totally and completely wrong on almost all counts
1) Hiruzen was CALLED, the strongest hokage, past tense, aka in his prime
2) Back then, in the previous generations, tobirama and hashirama didn't too long die, any jonins or people who were hiruzen;s age, would have lived in their time as well
Thus they saw both hashi and tobi, and stil decided to call him strongest
Your argument is invalid
A god > a myth any day
Its You who is wrong as only two youngsters who didnt see both hashi and Tobi 'called' Hizune God of Shinobi (Namely Kabuto, Orochimaru etc) and they are expected to follow what what young people say . . . . . yougsters and old people always have different opinions: See in Sunakagure younger shinobi was in love with Gaara but older ones feared and hated him.
So ur argument has no validity too.
ALSO MADARA VS HASHIRAMA
Only proof of Hashirama's power is Madar's words, he can mean:
1. Hashirama can still beat him in his edo form. (Not so likely)
2. Hashirama is the only one who has a chance of beating him, which all the five Kage together can not.
Either way Hashirama is more powerful that current five Kage put together.
Plus try to disprove this logic:
Hashi > EMS Madara+ Kurama
Hashi >> EMS Madara
Edo Hashi >> Edo EMS Madara
Edo Hashi + Implanted MS >= Edo EMS/Rinne Madara + Hashi cells
So in all fair comparisons Hashirama wins, i dont think Hashi fanboys wld want more than that.
