Is this a plot hole or something?
We know it well enough that hashirama,Tobirama and Minato were stronger than him 😐

I'd argue Prime Hiruzen > Base Minato actually, but that's not the case.
It was just retconned. In Part 1 Hashirama and Tobirama were planned as Sannin Level. Search for any implication to say Edo Tensei nerfs stats before part 2, there aren't any.
Now, in-verse explanation would be that they just don't know how strong they were. They should know about Minato tho, but they know nothing about Hashirama, Tobirama, or even Prime Hiruzen.
^ Kabuto thinks he surpassed Tobirama.
Kabuto says many people understimate Hashirama.
But he himself understimates Madara.
Choji's dad thinks Madara can't be able to defeat the Gokage as a team.
Onoki thought he knew how strong Madara was in his Prime.
And then, Hiruzen telling Iruka not to use past tense when he says Hiruzen was the strongest. He wants to make the new generation think he is currently stronger than Minato, when even for part 1 it's clear he wasn't.
If Hiruzen was truly stronger than Hashirama, Dan wouldnt claim Hashirama to be the only person who could fight Madara.
Again, prime hiruzen could have come to be after dan died
There is also the fact that Hashirama has more chakra than what Naruto divided amongst the shinobi alliance(or as much as KCM2 Naruto i dont remember the exact comparison) as an Edo Tensei. Chakra can be used to boost stats so I doubt Hiruzen can speedblitz him.
Having more chakra than someone doesnt necessarily mean you can speedblitz them. Rasenshuriken-training Naruto had more chakra than kakashi at that time period, and i dont think him in base is faster than kakashi in base at that time
Not to mention that Tobirama and Minato were stated to be the fastest ninja of their lifetimes, both of which included Hiruzen
Tobirama died on the day Hiruzen became a hokage (pre-hypothetical prime) and prime hiruzen could have still been a thing before minato was stated to be the fastest ninja when he was alive
Hashirama alone was swapping hands with Majestic Kurama. According to Madara, his Susanoo was Bijuu level, so Hashirama fought the equivalent of Kurama+Shukkaku bare minimum. However Hiruzen could barely hold back Kurama with the aid of Enma.
Prime Hiruzen was before obito invasion hiruzen
Prime Hiruzen>Juubito then?
Definetly not
"Said to be"
Note the "said to be"
I personally think madara was thinking that Edo SM madara might be able to beat juubito
Not alive SM madara since he was saying that he needed hashirama sage mode while still in edo
And edo SM madara might be stronger than alive SM madara since edo does have the artificial rinnegan while alive SM madara (stated to be relative or equal to EMS madara) is blind
So the scaling might go like this:
Edo SM madara = Juubito > blind SM madara ~/= EMS madara = Hashirama =/~ Hypothetical prime hiruzen > edo madara
Madara's rinnegan as an Edo Tensei was pretty lame and it seemed like he was heavily nerfed by Edo Tensei
Hiruzen is just a huge overrated, many people believe that he's more powerful than he seems only 'cause has the title of God of shinobi.
Here let’s say this. Kishi most likely made hiruzen before he planned hashirama
Again, prime hiruzen could have come to be after dan died
Except that is impossible. In part 1, Tsunade was 51 and Hiruzen was 69. That is an 18 year difference. Tsunade made genin and was put under Hiruzen's tutelage at 6, making Hiruzen 24. Dan and Tsunade are about the same age and Dan died at 27. Dan would have been alive to witness 1st or 2nd hand for about 20 years of Hiruzens career, including during the 2nd World War, ages 24-44. Men tend to be physically at their prime frome late 20's to early 30's. Dan has knowledge of Hiruzen's power just before, during, and after Hiruzen's prime.
Having more chakra than someone doesnt necessarily mean you can speedblitz them. Rasenshuriken-training Naruto had more chakra than kakashi at that time period, and i dont think him in base is faster than kakashi in base at that time
But you have no proof of that. Also, Naruto was 16 and didnt have the greatest Chakra control. If he had some experience with body flicker he very well could have
Tobirama died on the day Hiruzen became a hokage (pre-hypothetical prime) and prime hiruzen could have still been a thing before minato was stated to be the fastest ninja when he was alive
Minato died at age 24 12 years before Part 1, making Hiruzen 57. Minato's lifetime covered Hiruzen's from 33y.o.-57y.o. 33 is in the time frame for a man's prime. Aside from that, 4th Raikage said that Minato was the only person that was ever faster than him, and he was 47 during Part 2. Very much around during Prime Hiruzen.
Prime Hiruzen was before obito invasion hiruzen
Fair.
And edo SM madara might be stronger than alive SM madara since edo does have the artificial rinnegan
This is false. Edo are always weaker than their living selves. Edo Madara was stopped by Edo Hashirama but after being revived and with no eyes, he was able to seemingly no diff Hashirama
while alive SM madara (stated to be relative or equal to EMS madara) is blind
He wasnt ever stated to be equal to EMS Madara. This would actually be impossible due to Hashirama cells AND Sage Mode
What do you think?
