Hiruzen. No offense.
Jiraiya. He had/has powerful ass students
Minato, Minato, Naruto, Yahiko, etc.
Yahiko wasn't powerful, I'm assuming you mean Nagato.
OT: Either Hiruzen - trained the Sanin from nobodies (apart from Tsunade with her Senju body) to legendary ninja known throughout the whole world (all of whom were Hokage candidates) - or Jiraiya because he trained three possible "children of prophecy" (though an Uzumaki with Rinnegan can't be too hard to train and he only taught him the basics).
In conclusion I say Hiruzen because Jiraiya's students were naturally stronger due to tailed beasts or bloodlines (bar Minato).
I fixed it, but Yahiko was powerful. I mean no where near Minato and Nagato level. But a very high jounin level

In conclusion I say Hiruzen because Jiraiya's students were naturally stronger due to tailed beasts or bloodlines (bar Minato and Konan). Jiraiya's very close behind though.
What do you mean by Orochimaru being a nobody? His skills may have not been recognized by others (being an orphan and all) but he had great skill as a kidYahiko wasn't powerful, I'm assuming you mean Nagato.
