@Senjutsu Sage

I dont think he didnt try something. he probably did. but whatever he did worked or not is out of question as we later learn that no mater what Minato would not be summoned.

even if 520 hadnt happened and later Orochimaru summoning the HoKage, all we can say that Hiruzen knew a means to stop Edo Tensei summoning, which shouldnt have been that farfetched as it was a jutsu created by 2nd Hokage, who was his mentor, and since Orochimaru learnt the jutsu it was passed down in soe forbidden scroll in Konoha that the Hokage would definitely have access to.

and by no means is using a forbidden jutsu or having knowledge of it makes one a super strong dude. by that regards Orochimaru who perform the jutsu would have also been the God of Shinobi
