While I agree that a battle between Lords Third and Second would be awesome I also see that being if not an even fight at the very least a lengthy one. Firstly while Tobirama was a skilled and powerful sensory shinobi Hiruzen knew Tobirama's skills and jutsu very well. Tobirama does have one advantage in dying young and still in his prime while Hiruzen died far passed his prime. Still Hiruzen had mastered all five chakra natures and could combine them if given time enough to do so. I would say the wild cards for Tobirama and Hiruzen would be the Flying Raijin and Shadow Clone Jutsu respectively. Also Hiruzen would have to be careful about that Infinite Darkness genjutsu. Enma, Hiruzen's summoning animal, wouldn't be much use agnaist Tobirama except perhaps as a distraction. I would say that this battle would be decided by two things. Firstly how seriously Tobirama was taking the battle and secondly how involved and invested in the outcome the two combatants were.
