But he´s the more intelligent and more cunning of the two. Hashirama would fight him reasonably fair, but Tobirama would "cheat" his way to victory through any means possible. He'd use Edo Tensei for instance. I dont really want to turn this into a gargantuan Tobirama vs Hashirama debate, but i simply think he would be willing to go much further to win.

I'm not entirely sure why people use the word "hype" for almost everything Hiruzen related. It's a simple fact that he knows all the jutsu of the village, it's not "hype" whatever that may mean to someone. It's also not "mastery", but rather "knowning" which can be anything between mere academic interest and actual usage.

I also don't really understand why Minato's use of Kurama would be the deciding factor, when it's his entire style that allows him to get close to Hashirama and bypass most of what actually makes Hashirama such a danger.
