Since this is Part 1, we don't know if Guy could enter all 8 gates at this point, nor that Sage Mode even existed. We also don't know how much chakra Kisame actually possessed, an amount that allowed him to turn a dry landscape into an ocean with only 30% of his power. We also didn't know about Susanoo either. So going off of what we know of what was showed in Part I, Hiruzen or Itachi would be considered the strongest in my opinion.
