What were we talking about again...? Oh yeah, old people. I didn't mean to say they were weak or anything, if anything they are just as strong if not stronger. It's just that almost every single elderly ninja in Naruto has died for the new generation. I'm honestly expecting Onoki to die doing something absolutely, insanely, atomically OP, just like every other ninja of his time has so far. Hiruzen? Trying to kill the big bad on his own. (It was already stated that he was stronger than the previous two Hokage, so not much of an upset there.) Chiyu? Bringing the dead back to life, [i]after fighting and defeating her prodigal pupil[/i]. FU MADARA for even being a thing! Hiruzen and Chiyo each took on opponents who were technically immortal, and both held their ground amazingly well. No doubt without Sakura's help Chiyo would have come just as close to defeating her student as Hiruzen had. What I meant was that everyone from that generation dies giving their life for Naruto's (Honestly, why? He's Deus ex Naruto, he doesn't need your help people!) You know, it might just be that everyone in general in Naruto dies doing something ridiculous and Kishi just likes letting his characters go out in blazes of glory.

So now that we have an OP old man kage, how is it unreasonable to assume he's going to go out doing something amazingly epic and OP through the roof?
