Why Hashirama and Hiruzen were called the god of shinobis?

[grizzlyshree]

we know that their powers were legendary. but my doubt is ,with shinobis like 3rd raikage,Muu,trolkage(possibly) etc being shinobis with gifted powers. why werent they called the god of shinobis?

we know that being a senju, they are the most powerfull shinobis by genetics(as well as inventing).

Apart from that, we have Hiruzen who was also called the god of shinobis. he is the only person other than Hashirama to be called as such.

is there a point beyond which a shinobi can be called by that name?

 

[grizzlyshree]

we will see in the coming chapters what Hiruzen,aaMinato(apart from FTG,rasengan and s/t),Tobirama can do

 

[Kakashisquad]

Maybe his Masetry over jutsu (Hiruzen) he was choosen by the Second hokage for a reason. Also trained by The first hokage. Plus he trained three legendary shinobi

 

[Prince Charles]

I just hope kishi gives hiruzen more feats.

 

[grizzlyshree]

Hiruzen probably more feats, as Orochimaru himself was wary about him.

 

[Casualty]

I honestly dont think Hiruzen deserves the title but Hashi on the other hand has
done alot to be called 'the god of shinobis'.

A, onoki etc though gifted with unique abilities hasn't really done anything to be acknowledged as 'god of shinobis'

 

[Kαmi]

I think it was because they were strongest of their time, don't really know honestly :dunno:

 

[VongolaX]

because hiruzen had an orb that watched everybody

 

[KidGamer65]

Probably because they were the strongest of their era.

 

[grizzlyshree]

Probably because they were the strongest of their era.

If that is so,Tobirama and Minato should also be called God of Shinobi isn it?

 

[GOD2U]

I fully believe the title "god of shinobi" means that the said individual mastered the main three jutsu styles of being a shinobi. Ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu.

 

[Migualon J.J.]

Hiruzen = genin level.

yeah, if you mean Genin level like Naruto, Sasuke and Kabuto, than i guess we could agree on that U_U

 

[Avinash012]

I think power has nothing to do with the Name "god of shinobi".....May be they got that Name due to thire peaceful motives.................

 

[XMorpheus]

The title kage is presumbaly is given to the strongest shinobi to their respective village.
so maybe they were stronger than the other kage thats why they were called the god of shinobis. .just saying.

 

[Bantos]

Because God is almost always seen as this old man. That would explain why Hiruzen was called with the name.
Hashirama just had God like strength.

 

[TheEvilOne]

Hashirama was strong, Hiruzen was smart. And pervert.

 

[stoikis]

Hashirama-for his wood release which is capable of creating life(forest...)
Hiruzen-for his knowledge and use of many jutsu's

 

[KingHashirama]

Orochimaru called Hashirama the God of Shinobi

Orochimaru STATED to Hiruzen what others called him.

That is the big difference. And Suigetsu confirms it that it was Hashirama who was known as the God of Shinobi<< Worldwide.

 

[Totsuka gg Amaterasu gg]

hyperbole....the only godlike beings in nv are the So6P and the oroginal Juubi
you must be a blind fanboy to deny that

 

[rekdagenius]

Its funny that before we knew all of the feats of the 1st we claimed him to be the strongest shinobi. Same goes for madara some argued that he is the strongestb4 knowing his feats. all feats of them were mere stories and myths that we learned later to b tru but b4 learning we assumed that it was tru and that they are the greatest. Yet i keep seeing post about the 3rd being a fodder or not that gud and about tobirama not being that gud and that kakashi doesnt know 1000 jutsu. Like think about it seriously. do u think these ppl would b hokage for no reason and u think kakashi would b in the bingo book and feared by many just when they see the color of his hair for nothing? Kishi knew what he was doing. He built reputations around these ppl so he wouldnt have to show u all of their gifts. He just needed us to kno that when the 1st 2nd and 3rd and 4th were in their prime they were a force to not underestimate. same goes for kakashi b4 sharingan he was superior than all his classmates him and gai. and after the sharingan it just gave him that extra edge (even though it zaps his chakra) Point is the stories behind these ppl are tru and gives them the repuation needed to create a story.

I have spoken:scorps:
