Team 2, Hiruzen would likely be able to counter the elemental beasts but his stamina is a joke compared to endurance beasts like these Akatsuki members.
I feel like Hiruzen could be argued above either of team 2 considering Orochimaru needed edos to beat him, but Danzo is kind of a weak link, though looking back at his respect thread he can mind control one person per day, so that could be a game changer if it works on these guys.
Hiruzen can counter all 5 of the elements Kakuzu will use, and given his nature he'd deduce to break all of the masks pretty quickly. And Danzo can use Izanagi plus layering them with Wind Release plus Baku to eat them. And he can hit either of them with Kotoamatsukami. Kakuzu is hit, so Kisame would be the only real threat which can be taken down by Koto or just being overpowered by Danzo's Wind Release and Hiruzen's Mastery of the Five Basic Releases
