Sigh.

1) His back hurt because he was old. This was stated. When he first fought Madara he wasn't a Kage, so your point is mute. He could of been at any age. He could of been in his teens to late twenties. Until you can prove he was around 30, mentioning him isn't relevant. What is known, is he wasn't in his prime since he wasn't a Kage.

2) Too bad the manga stated that Hanzo was still rusty even as a Edo. So another mute point.

3) Reanimations are still revived with all physical handicaps. "They are physically restored as they were at the time of their death, including any physical handicaps they may have possessed, such as Nagato's damaged legs." So old age is not nullified by Reanimation. Their bodies are still weak.

4) Having the ability to not die or have your reserves replenished does not make it your prime. Hiruzen was not at his strongest as a reanimation. Apparently, his prime allows him access to all Konoha's techniques, a body not weakened by old age, and can defeat 3 Hokage level Shinobi alone. As a Reanimation, he still had all the weaknesses he had when he was alive. I'd take the prime version over the Reanimation any day.

5) Hanzo was so rusty that Mifune killed him. Hanzo beat Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade. They also had a full squad that was wiped out. They were all stated at the time to be Kage level (Jiraiya was offered the position of Hokage after the war). So Mifune killing him is proof alone he was incredibly rusty since Mifune is not 3x stronger than a Hokage.
