Hello guys, Achroma here bringing you some Hiruzen lineups and hopefully inspiring you a little bit.


Hiruzen Sarutobi



While Hiruzen is often overlooked he is a very efficent assasination ninja. While not a barrier or CC ninja persay he has a hard hitting mystery, a clone summon (Enma) And of course the classic Defender of Konoha resistance boost. ON top of this once he dies he gets to cast Reaper death seal on someone which usually instantly kills them off.



The "Suicide Squad" lineup






The "Charge for the love of god" Lineup




While hardly a traditional Lineup im quite fond of it myself. With a Danzo barrier and immobile on top of Raikage and main Blitz of low hp, main acupuncutre and then Hiruzen Suicide bombing it is very efficent against many of the current meta teams.



The "Who needs a barrier" Lineup




While at first clance it might seem odd this lineup actually works wonders due to two things. First of all your Main and Tsunade are basicly going to healup all damage. Secondly Hiruzen is completetly exposed for him to die fast and you assasinating the enemies barrier ninja. Once that is done and it becomes a battle of attrition there is no doubt about who is going to win.




Personally i believe Hiruzen to be very good in ranked aswell. With his resistance buff and his oneshot mystery after being killed on top of the fact that he is konoha.

A good ranked lineup with him could look like this



With him upfront he will die quite fast. Tsunade combos well and so does Mei and Orochimaru Konohas traitor.


Experiment a bit! you can build ranked teams with tsunade sannin war even when using him as he even benefits from that!


As usual please dont hesitate to drop your own lineups or thoughts below!
