Especially when the likes of Ebisu and Konohamaru actually did more in battle against someone like Pain than Hiruzen would have been allowed if he'd survived that long into the series.

The way he was diluted, he'd have been getting outwitted by non-canon ninja ostrich, Sai's ink drawings or Iruka's substitution jutsu's every day in filler arcs if he had lived much longer.
