A prime Hiruzen has too many possibilities. I give it to him. He was able to do all that against Orochimaru and the weakened Kage was past his prime. Orochimaru says that Hiruzen would’ve won a decade ago, despite Hashirama and Tobirama being there. So if his prime is like 39 years back, three more decades. Prime Hiruzen would squash Orochimaru, and I dare say that thinking along those lines, Hiruzen would beat Minato, likely with high difficulty, just to be fair. Minato is smart after all. Hiruzen has too much ninjutsu, is capable of mid taijutsu at the least, judging from his final battle, and decent enough speed, from tagging the Kage. Then there’s Enma. I give it to Hiruzen imo. If Hiruzen knows he’s tagged it’s simply a matter of being able to avoid a decisive blow. It really can go either way, but I can imagine that Hiruzen has some crazy ass techniques back then. They both need one good blow really.They didnt call him, 'God of Shinobi' and the 'Professor' for no reason. Him being able to use all 5 basic charka natures and the range of justus he has shown is impressive. Enma vs Gamabunta would be nice, I could see Bunta getting really mad about not being able to catch him. But all it takes is 1 hit I guess.
