While it’s obvious that Naruto and Hashirama would be 1st and 2nd respectively, I think it’s probably Minato at 3rd strongest. I think he would edge out Tobirama mostly because in a 1v1 Tobirama has no feasible options to actually defeat Minato. His use of Flying Raijin is of no use cuz Minato is faster, Minato has more proficiency with Shadow Clones and none of his shown water jutsu are potent enough to kill Minato. Other than Flying Raijin Tobirama can only use Tandem Paper Bomb which is basically a suicide bomb if he’s alive.

Minato on the other hand has the Rasengan which can kill, he has the Shiki Fuujin which he can use as a last resort. He proficient in other sealing jutsu that could hold Tobirama in place for a kill. Minato can even use perfected Sage Mode.

While Tobirama may stand a chance with Edo Tensei under his control, keep in mind his version results in reanimations way weaker than the original. Minato doesn’t even need Kurama in this fight imo.

@Kurama624 Your points on Tobirama being stronger Minato don’t make much sense. You said that Tobirama dodged a point blank attack from an amped Madara which Kurama couldn’t do (even though one can’t react to Limbo if they can’t sense it). You’re assuming that Minato wouldn’t be able to dodge the same attack even though Tobirama clearly stated Minato was faster than him. Also him being Hashirama’s brother doesn’t really mean much cuz he can’t use wood release nor can does he have the chakra or healing abilities of Hashirama.

My Kage leaderboard is: 1. Naruto 2. Hashirama 3. Hiruzen (Hear me out, Prime Hiruzen was said to be the strongest of his generation meaning he was stronger than A (3rd Raikage), 3rd Mizukage, 3rd Kazekage (the strongest Kazekage) and Ohnoki, who could keep pace with Mū even as an old man meaning he was probably stronger than him in his prime.) 4.Minato 5.Tobirama
