The only Hiruzen we can really count is the Hiruzen from part 1, the so called "prime" Hiruzen is featless. Let's be honest here, the only reason why Minato was able to suppress Kurama was because of Kushina's chains, and the only reason why he was still alive was because of the hiraijin and the space-time barrier he used to teleport the bijuu bomb away. Hiruzen has none of these things. Even if somehow Hiruzen manages to get a hold of Kurama's chakra with the reaper seal, Minato needed Naruto to seal the other half of Kurama, since he wasn't able to seal the entire beast in himself as far as i recall.Hiruzen also doesn't have another vessel beside himself. But him managing to catch Kurama with the seal is a long shot. With just a TBB he gets killed 100%, and unlike Minato, he pretty much can't escape it.
