I call bs to a certain extent because hiruzen looked a lot younger and had a naruto/yahiko-type hair style when tobirama declared him hokage and everyone there were still in squads and didnt seem to be sensei level yet. Hiruzen couldn't have possibly been the senssi of the sanin at that point. In fact, that whole scene seemed like a plot hole. At that point in the manga we didn't know tobirama created flying rajin or edo tensei. He had so many options to deal with 20 jonin or at minimum just escape beforehand. So I'm pretty sure this is a case of many : writing style; plot no justu!
