Why?
Hashirama>Sarutobi
Neither of them deserve the tittle .
Because Hiruzen was a genius in justus and responsible for the legendary sannin.
Hashirama was just powerful and skilled in taming beasts and woodstyle.
Hashirama was too old for people to actually appreciate what he did. He's more of a founding father and Hiruzen a legendary president and genius.
Hashirama also saved the village by defeating madara
I think the title is just given to the strongest and greatest ninja of one's time.
It's ancient history at the time Naruto was born. This generation loved and praised Hiruzen. Which is justifiable.
The fact that defended the village from orochimaru, learned countless justus and being the sensei of the 3 legendary sannin only solidified this.
Hashirama was much appreciated during his time as well.
