Doesn't matter what you say or how fast or powerful beings from Part 2 are from Part 1. Unless you know some facts no one else does that came directly from Kishimoto that says Hiruzen in his prime is weaker than any version of Naruto, it's just speculation. By stating Naruto can win with no proof about Hiruzen's abilities in his prime as if it's fact, can only be called biased.

Unless you're going by all statements on Hiruzen. If you are, then hell no does Hiruzen get one shot. If he knows all techniques from Konohagakure, that would mean he knows Spirit Transformation. Naruto has no counter for that. And there are various other techniques that Naruto might not be able to counter. So again, unless you have an accurate fact about Prime Hiruzen, I suggest you don't state things as if they are fact without proof.

But because statements are inconsistent I side with none of them, since this battle is impossible to judge until we see Hiruzen in his prime.
