The power inflation over the last few hundreds chapters is just too big of a gap.

To be fair, Kishimoto is going to have to up Sarutobi if for no other reason than to provide an excuse for why Konoha hadn't been run over long ago considering that Sarutobi had been Hokage for 40 or so years. So, he had to be able to compete against Oonoki and third Raikage and the 3rd Mizukage not to mention Hanzou, even if we have no idea how he could have competed against such monstrous figures.
