And the fact when Enma was summoned that he said he should've killed him when he could at that moment "10!" years ago.

It's called context. They were speaking about the soul-pulling, why would he suddenly talk about anything else? Let me translate these sentances myself and I'll see how I get it:
Sarutobi: I've come this far... I've come all the way here... is it possible that my current strength itself isn't enough to pull out his soul? Can it be that this geezer's body isn't enough of a sacrifice?
Orochimaru-sama: If this was 10 years ago, you could have killed me now, couldn't you? *small laugh and pulls up sword*
It should be obvious that he doesn't mean "in this fight" but that it's context-based, "now" as in "with this freaking jutsu that is holding on to my soul and hurting like nothing else".

If I recall correctly, the line was more like "he's said to be the strongest of all the current kage". The word "Hokage" isn't in there, "kage" was. I'm not gonna say anyone was wrong in this translation or anything, I'm far from perfect and won't say everyone else is wrong just because that's not how I would translate it, and I'm also taking this out of my memory and not checking an actual episode, but yeah I remember that being said at one point.

That was approximately 10 years prior to the current time. So that age and befroe say about 30 years before that or whenever he was in his prime he should've been able to easily Kill Oro.

In those 10 years Orochimaru-sama has become a lot stronger, he most probably hasn't been doing a single thing that didn't make him stronger. He obviously joined up with Dawn and all those other things. Sure that Sarutobi would be stronger, but Orochimaru-sama grew far more than Sarutobi probably lost with age. You can say I'm assuming things here, but really I have as little to base this on as you do.

Again I say, "when"?
