i doubt the 'god of shinobi' thing is generational, since suigetsu only recognized hashirama as the god of shinobi. he wasn't like "2 (or 3 counting minato) gods of shinobi in one place!"
i do totally agree that sarutobi was the real deal as far as a pure ninja goes. i actually like that better than all these powerups. i dont hate the powerups, but i prefered the series up until hidan, susano'o and pain when the 'realism' of these ninjas went out the window. not that it was ever real, but it felt more 'real' in the world kishi created than these new god-level powers. i prefer characters like hiruzen and kakashi as far as abilities go
the only reason i was talking about the generational foul up was because of the relevance to hashirama who is in the spot light right now. it has been broken for a long time, but seeing hashirama's god-level power just brings it all back to me
