Not really... "Epic" would be Itachi, who was kage level when he was 7. Oro really wasn't anything special even back then if you think about it. Minato seems somewhere close to Itachi in ability/skill, so Oro wasn't even really senior to Minato. Jiraiya taught Minato(and was surpassed), and we can see in his Pein fight that Jiraiya was a power house compared to Oro as well.
