prime hiruzen is nada if he was stronger than Hashirama or as strong as he then Ninja war 2 and 3 would of never happen. Hiruzen also has no relationship with Otsusuki clan be it by Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, Kaguya or otherwise meaning its impossible for him to have reach the level of Nagato much less Hashirama and Madara.

Hiruzen being call the strongest Hokage is obviously Databook inconsistency as there are many.

Minato still takes it due to FTG.
