@actionmanrandell First of all the stats shouldn't be compared to those who don't have any which brings up confusion. And the whole max is 40 issue. You do realize that Hashirama wont get all fives for everything just cuz Hiruzen has almost all fives. Like Hiruzen has a 5 in intelligence do you really think no offense Hashirama is gonna get a 5 too? Iruka maybe didn't know know of Hashirama's prowess but I'm sure he's heard of it and yet he still speculated Hiruzen to be strongest Hokage specifically going by his prime which again we have not seen. And you may think Hashirama is more powerful because again he isn't in his old age and got that poweruo of Sage Mode. It would've helped if Orochimaru brought Hiruzen back at prime. And you can say he's not when we actually don't know since we don't know how powerful Hiruzen was at prime so the best you can come up with is that Hashirama was the strongest Hokage at the point of Hokages deaths. Hashirama probably around late 30's, Tobirama around mid 30's, Hiruzen old age, and Minato before he hit prime.
