Shouldn't he be strong enough to survive some rent-a-ninja on a random mission if guys like him could solo the modern day Leaf Village on a day Naruto wasn't around.

Hiruzen might not win this but the SOB deserves some damn credit for living as long as he did in a turbulent cutthroat village system. Plot no Jutsu makes ants out of titans. Just like how Juubidara was so easily betrayed by Black Zetsu. Apparently, Hashirama and Tobirama were supposed to be the strongest of all time, along with Madara. Tobirama gets a somewhat honourable death (at the time it was first depicted) at the hands of 20 elite shinobi. But then Kishi destroys Tobirama's reputation by saying that the Third Raikage died fighting 10,000 shinobi for 3 days and nights straight. smh
