Actually, if Hiruzen uses Shiki Fujin, EVEN he a would die. That's how it is. You have to sacrifice your own soul to the Shinigami ( That's why I specifically said "if he's committing sucide "). If he uses the technique, then the match would automatically become a draw. Because both would die. This technique is basically a sucidal technique. So, if Hiruzen wants to win, he won't be able to use this technique at all in the fight and will only need to depend on his other jutsu.
