Prime Hanzo and Prime Hiruzen are the two of the strongest Shinobi in History, with Prime Hiruzen not only being the strongest in the history of the Sarutobi clan but the strongest Kage of his lifetime and said to be he strongest Kage in his prime, which was a term yet again used for Hashirama, who along with Tobirama trained Hiruzen and groomed him to be Hokage.. and this is all referenced on his page. Prime Hanzo was in an entirely different league than the Sannin and Jiraiya and up to the day Jiraiya died he still believed that. Tsunade can't beat Prime Hanzo, neither can Jiraiya. I'm not even sure current Oro could do it, because I don't think he got essentially more than 3 times stronger than he was in that battle vs Prime Hanzo. Hiruzen and Hanzo are two of the absolute strongest Shinobi in history, with Hiruzen himself sharing the God of Shinobi title with Hashirama and Hagoromo. I think it's safe to say the majority of the fandom likes to shit upon these facts only because they weren't given the chance to show off their prime power and skills ever with feats, as plot never permitted it.. hence Kishimoto finding another way to make it clear and that is by giving us this information with words. I honestly don't see Sakura beating Hanzo, that's for sure.
