Edo tensei makes it impossible to fight oro but if that was restricted then yes Jman solos

Tsunade probably has the strongest body / most chakra being related to an Uzumaki and Senju, so very resilient body and healing. And I think databook stated her physical strength was above the Raikage.

Orochimaru is no pushover with all his experimentation and numerous jutsu. Quantity may be on his side.

Jiraiya is a Sage

I say they're all just different but probably no great gaps eclipsing anyone. ABC logic rarely works.

I have always gone with the strongest of the generation is Hokage, been that way for 1st - 4th, and also 6th-7th, no clue why it'd be different from the 5th.

SM Jiraiya is the strongest. He either outlasts Byakugo/Oral Rebirth, drowns them in Yomi Numa, or dissolves them in acid.

How exactly is SM Jiraiya outlasting Tsunade? How does Jiraiya activate SM while fighting against Tsunade, or Orochimaru?

Well that works out fine with me. Orochimaru was first considered to be Hokage, then Hiruzen confirmed he was insane.
Next, Jiraiya, but he told the Elders to choose Tsunade. By that logic, Orochimaru > Jiraiya > Tsunade.

Sure by your logic, Madara > Hashirama.. Madara was considered for Hokage by Hashirama himself. Yet the strongest of their generation became the Hokage at the end.

Don't make your logic, the same as my logic (unless you have a hard time understanding the difference). Try again.

It's Japanese versions of rock-paper-scissor. So if you choose just two then maybe you can argue which one is stronger but put three in the ring together and according what writer said- a three way deadlock.

Proving your broken logic.
Madara, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya were all considered to be Hokage before the Hokage of their generation but they weren't chosen for one reason or another. None of those reasons had anything to do with strength.

@Bold, my point exactly.

Guess who was chosen? The strongest of their time..

Its funny you are acting like you are making a point.. when you are just showing you can't properly understand logic.


Your logic: Considered for Hokage means better than the ones who became hokage, and if its not that way.. then KH's logic is broken.

My Logic : doesn't matter who was considered, its about who became Hokage.


Try to understand the difference please.

Orochimaru is the strongest. Stop restricting Edo Tensei. That is his power, his summoning, his specialty. It's just a really hax move, like Kamui GG.

If Hiruzen wanted Orochimaru & Jiraiya before Tsunade he obviously thought they were better candidates for the position be it strength-wise, intelligence-wise, etc.

Except in the case of Tsunade, she was literally the third choice. No wait, fourth choice I guess.
If Naruto said "No, pick Shikamaru, he'd be a better Hokage than me" (which is probably true), and the Elders or whoever chose Shikamaru, that means Shikamaru > Naruto, Sasuke, etc. going by your standards. "Just being Hokage" is a terrible gauge of superiority because there are more factors involved in that choice than strength alone.

Yet Tsunade at that same time accomplished more than Oro and Jiraiya, and then said "F*ck you" to konoha (could've cared less for hokage-ship), while Oro got butthurt about Minato becoming hokage.. and while Jiraiya himself thought Tsunade to be better for Hokage.
And at the end who became Hokage?? Hiruzen's favorite's? no.. Tsunade.


Hashirama was going to set up Madara to be Hokage, even tried arguing it against others.. but did his thing work out? nope, who became Hokage? Hashirama


Danzo (from Hiruzen's generation), was going to be Hokage.. but did he actually become the 6th Hokage? NOPE.. because Hiruzen was the strongest of his generation.

Like I said, "who was considered" is irrelevant to who actually became the Hokage.

@1st bold, did it happen? nope.

@2ndBold, of course to you it is that way, because with that Orochimaru isn't the strongest Sanin ;].


And also to correct you.. Tsunade wasn't even an option.. She wasn't in the village, she left it long ago, she literally wanted nothing to do with the village. HOWEVER, when she was in the village with the other 2 Sanin, she accomplished the most. She was made into an option because the ones who were the options, weren't competent for the Hokage title..

Breaking Bad > Game of Thrones, just like how Jiraiya > Orochimaru without Edo Tensei.










Please don't be upset, just accept facts and move on.

Orochimaru by far is the most skilled,talented, smartest out of all 3 sannin he beat Jiariya twice already Tsunade struggle to take on the man while both his arms & ninjutsu were gone with his body rejecting him with the help of Jiariya i'm bout to turn up in this thread.
