The third Hokage by feats, is objectively the weakest hokage in Naruto history. Onoki the Tsizukage was older than him, yet he managed to destroy Madara's susanno clones with his kekkai genkai dust release(and was the only Kage Madara was even slightly worried about), clearly showing that age is not a factor when it comes to power in Naruto. The Third has shown no specialized jutsu, no kekkai genkai, literally nothing. He is objectively weak. After all, Kishimoto did recton him in Shippuden into nothing but fodder after he introduced the other much more powerful hokages. The title "god of shinobi" was retconned and given to Hashirama in Shippuden, basically anything before Shippuden involding the third was retconned.
