NOTE: This is not a straight up Hashirama vs Hiruzen thread, but a thread regarding the whole "myth" aspect of Hashirama.

So there's this butthurt Hashirama fanboy who thinks that either:

1. No one who saw Hashirama's prime saw Hiruzen's too (which I'll debunk later).

2. That not a single damn person in the entire Konoha believed people talking about Hashirama's prime (which I'll debunk later on too).

I'll be getting into the background, and then the two theories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an image of when Tobirama and Hashirama (arguably in his prime) were still alive, with a young Hiruzen:

You must be registered for see images

From the looks of it, Hiruzen became Hokage at most 15 years AFTER this image was taken, meaning that Hashirama died not too long after this, so he reached his prime not too much after, or was already in his prime. Here's an image of Hiruzen when he became Hokage, showing only about a 10-15 year age difference.

You must be registered for see images

Now there obviously was a lot of 20 year olds living during the first photo, don't you think? If Hiruzen reached his prime around 25 years later after the first photo (10 years after becoming Hokage), those same people would be 45. Hell, the 15 year olds from Hashirama's prime would be 40. So many people witnessed both Hashirama's and Hiruzen's prime. That's enough with the background information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here's where both of our theories split paths, seeing that these men obviously witnessed both of their primes:

1. The Hashirama fan's theory - Every single 40-60(+) year old that saw both of their primes (which they obviously did, as proven above) tried convincing every single person in Konoha that Hashirama > Hiruzen, yet not a single person believed them. OR he says that no one from Hashirama's prime witnessed Hiruzen's (which has been debunked above).

My argument against this: Tell me, people of NB, do you think every 40 year old in our society is some geezer with Alzheimers or something? Besides, many members from Hiruzen's old team and such, were still alive and probably looked up to, so they would have been believed if they said Hashirama > Hiruzen (since they witnessed both primes). But who was called the strongest Hokage by all of these men and women from both of the Kages' prime eras?

2. My theory - These men, who saw both of their primes (as proven above), considered Hiruzen to be the stronger Hokage. They gave Hiruzen the nickname "The God of Shinobi" and others, representing him as being the strongest Hokage. But they still told people of Hashirama's power (who might have had more raw power), but some didn't believe them, because they didn't believe someone could use Mokuton, and use it on such a large scale. So some considered Hashirama a myth. The myth aspect is due to some not believing that someone could actually create wood, and on such a large scale.

His argument against this: He thinks that because we don't know when Hashirama died (though he looked the same as an Edo), my theory can't prove anything. But in reality, it doesn't matter, because Hiruzen reached his prime about 25 years after Hashirama was still alive, regardless of when Hashirama died.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you tell me, Narutobase. Which theory seems more plausible, mine or his? I've clearly debunked most of (if not all of) his theory, yet he still holds true to it. So do you guys think that (even though I've proven it wrong) that not a single person witnessed both of their primes? OR do you believe my theory?

AND P.S: Don't bring in your Hashirama vs Hirzuen thoughts in here. This is just pretty much asking whether you believe that people witnessed both of their primes (as obviously proven) or not (for some reason).

this is the only thing it says about hiruzen's prime maybe even a little bit before his prime, and he said he was the best out of all them including tobirama and he was confident he wouldn't die against the kumogakure master bounty hunters

if hiruzen was stronger why wouldn't dan say hiruzen is able to stop madara?

dan was obviously alive during hiruzen's prime years, i see no reason for dan to say hashirama is the only one to beat madara if hiruzen is indeed fact stronger than hashirama.

Don't make this thread into Hashirama vs Hiruzen!

Hashirama had counters to Madara's techs, and he knew them inside-out?

BUT don't make this thread into Hashirama vs Hiruzen! Just answer the poll!

the fact of the matter is this both hiruzen and and hashi were never seen goinf full out or even close for that mattter

hasirama was seen once in the begining of the manga naruto when they had to downplay everything on a massive scale so that they had higher places to go not to metion the fact that he was being controlled by oro a man who had no idea the depth of hashiramas power so obviously that fight has no weight on how powerful hasi was

hiruzen was never seen in his prime just in old age when one of the anbu even made a comment about how much weaker he is in his old age i mean common jman was like 35 and hiruzen was like 35 when jman was like 12 so hiruzen had to have been pushin 60 in that fight now you name me one man in his 60s that is even half the man he was in his 20 and thirties

with no rel ground for a comparison it becomes nuthing but fanboy crap which is worthless

I'm not making a Hashirama vs Hiruzen thread. I'm simply asking whether there were people who witnessed both of their primes, or not.

Heres my thoughts:

Hashirama was praised for his abilities to use mokuton and to control a tailed beast.
Hiruzen was praised for his wisdom and his wide arsenal of jutsu knowledge and control.

Each are strong in their own way. But as you said Hashirama has more raw power along with life energy being a senju. Look at how powerful yamatos mokuton is. Imagine a original mokuton user. But Hiruzen had exceptional skill in all the jutsu he knew, which was a lot. Im not trying to make it a Hashirama v. Hiruzen im just showing my thoughts and comparisions.

Anyways back to your poll question. Yes your theory makes more sense there were many people who saw both their primes im sure of. Just because they dont talk about it doesnt mean they dont know. I mean kakashi/hiruzen/jiriaya/tsunade all knew narutos parents.. they didnt say anything did they?

Exactly. The Hashirama fan refuses to believe the fact that people witnessed both of their primes. U_U

What proof do you have that someone who witnessed both primes said any of those stuff...no offence but the only people who made statements never saw both their prime....if was a kid grew up to one particular president and i heard all the good stuff about him and he bacame my idol and saw him fight for my country i would strongly side with him and call him the best because ive seen what he can do ..arguably there may be other people way better but id side with him because i grew to know him and saw him as the best..(thats iruka for you)

I really like your theory. Correct me if I'm wrong but..

You're saying people witnessed both Hashi and Hiruzen in their prime, but they gave Hiruzen the title "God of the Shinobi" even though they've seen both of their primes. I really like that theory. Are there flaws? Probably.

Not every civilian has seen the extent of their powers, seeing as how people don't follow their Hokage onto the battlefield and watch their powers. So they'd have to judge which Shinobi was better or "more powerful" by the state of the Hidden Leaf. If a war ended and Hiruzen was Hokage (like one war was) then they obviously think that Hiruzen was the best Hokage. Meow :3

Did you read my thread? Many lived through both primes (and many probably considered Hashirama an "idol" as you said, yet Hiruzen was called the strongest) but they still called Hiruzen the God of Shinobi.

First paragraph --> Pretty much what I'm saying.

Last paragraph --> True, Hiruzen probably was in a war (correct me if I'm wrong) so many probably were amazed by him. BUT then, Hashirama fought Madara (as the first Hokage) and probably dealt with a few rogue clans that hadn't formed a village yet.

yes i read but what i was just saying is people underate hashirama because he lost to hiruzen as a mindless edo(manga fact) ..thought i doubt people saw him fight madara ..not in the manga not enough on hashirama nor hiruzen to determine anything..i wont turn this to a vs... but quite a few people did live through both their prime but id say most who saw hashi died in the war? and we just have to wait for flashbacks from madara or something..
if noone agrees to what i say then meh.

Was Hashirama mentioned once as the strongest Hokage? That pretty much means everyone considered Hiruzen the strongest.
