Without much feats?

Minato: Won battle against Tobi, everyone called him God.
  • Though he proved in later flashbacks that he was worthy of being Hokage


Hashirama: Somewhere in the manga it mentions Hashi beat Madara, and all the fanboys explode, no feats.

  • Later we see his true powers and abilities

Tobi: Takes on some fodder shinobi with kamui= instant solo king

  • Later has rinnegan and 6 paths


What are some other Ninja that are overhyped, or some that have overcame hype with feats?

hiruzen:

the strongest hokage yet it was proven wrong.

can use all of konoha techs it was proven wrong.

the strongest of the gokage it was proven wrong.

all of hiruzen's hypes aren't justified with his disgusting feats.

he took on oro hashi and tobirama as an old man, the hype was justified.

though we've never seen him in his prime!

hatake sakumo, he is sannin level or above, I know It's not proven to be wrong but we never saw him in action and we never will I guess

Yeah I definitely gotta go with Hiruzen Sarutobi on this one. I like the third Hokage a lot, but his hype that came from "Beating" Hashirama and Tobirama when orochimaru first raised them in Naruto Part 1 with a pair of paper bombs made lots of people think he was the most powerful, perhaps for his time, but i was always a strong believer that he was beneath the 1st and 2nd hokage.
