Lol Kishimoto did admit he was inspired by akira toriyama, and both of them specialize in bad writing. Kishimoto made many references to dbz, like choatzu masks in the mask store of the hidden leaf and the 4 tails being called son goku and roshi. That Dbz logic did ruin the series, hashirama got incredibly strong in part 2 with his cells and wood style coveted by everyone. Then it became a battle of avatars- susanoo vs wood human with mountain busting attacks. Hiruzen got Dbzed by the fact he didn't have a heritage with hax powers. But he is still a beast. Yea I suppose but he is holding the staff in the panel as well, considering emna is a diamond staff it isnt unreasonable to assume that emna did it, and when in doubt the anime sheds some light. For example, how danzo got shisui's eye was never shown in the manga but the anime did show it.
