Orochimaru had his ability to use jutsu taken away for most of the story, so I can see how he might be underrated. We've recently seen him hold back the Ten-Tails on his own, so I wonder what he can do when he goes all-out.

Same with Hiruzen. He was able to use all five nature types at once to fight Guruguru, and Shikamaru said the entire Alliance was done for if he fell. I wish Orochimaru had brought him back in his prime, he called his performance against Hashirama and Tobirama pitiful, but he was KICKING ASS.
