Thread: 4th Hokage vs Sarutobi in his Prime

The 3rd may have been known widly for his experience and jutsu, but the 4th was feared on the battle feild. So much so that enemy troops were told to retreat on sight. Also another reason i think he would win is how he sealed the Nine-tailed fox away. Naruto only using 4tails makes a huge explosion, and somehow the 4th managed to get up close and use that sealing tech on him.

The in his prime would be in the top 3 strongest ninja in the series. He is the Professor, we all see the 4th as a great ninja, which he is, but you that because of him sealing away the fox. The third also had that same sealing techinque and if he were in his prime he'd done the same thing.

The 4th has one techinque that would give the 3rd trouble, that is the flash thing he does

you bring a great point his knowlage of jutsu's was amazing but that because he has been alive along time to study them dont you think if the 4th also was alive as long as the 3rd that he would have great knowlage too i mean the 4th was feard so highly the enemy was to retreat on the sight of him and thats when the 4th was still newer just thing if the 4th had all that time and did not age either the the 3rd would have some real compation not to say the 3rd can be beaten without making him self known.!!!

I think that the 4th is stronger his flash technique would e hard to deal with and I would have to say that knowing a lot of jutsu doesn't make you strong.

Well done doom that is what i am trying to say its not the knowlage you have of jutsu but how well you can fight in that battle feild. And lets not forget who is feared on the battle feild compaired to the 3rd who not maney enemy's was scared of.

well I dont believe that only one jutsu, the yellow flash has, would be enough to take down the Professor and his jounin skilled leve summon....he is the teacher of the 3 sannins, this guy is a beast, not someone to take likely of on the battle field...and the 4ths fighting talent goes very largely unwitnessed, you keep re-stating the same thing about the retreat on the battlefield, if the 3rd wasnt the hokage, same orders would have went with him as well.

Dont forget the fight between the 2 hokages/a sannin (Orochimaru) that the 3rd ALMOST won while he was probably 70+.......times what his fighting ability was there by like 10 or so!

Well i am not saying he is to be taking lightly. Also he fought 2 reserected ones under orochimaru's control so the 1 and 2 hokage didn't have a mind of their own to battle how they would normaly battle and sence the 3rd trained orochimaru that make's things abit more even for the 3rd so it was not as ferice as you make it out to sound but the 3rd did do well as for the 4th he was more mysterious the only one that has any true idea possibly would be jiriya for obvious reasons.

Yea, well its hard to tell when everything is layed out.

1- Yondaime's ability is obiviously great, but how great we'll never know

2- The 3rd was a great ninja seeing how he can still fight amongst the best as an old man, but we'll never fully realize how much of a powerhouse he was in his prime either
