-Um, unless lighting bolts are naturally that large, then its clear he used multiple lighting bolts to make Kirin. Not to mention the whole storm cleared after he used up Kirin, more evidence that he used all the lightning there was at the time.

-Whether he can generate that much power or not doesn't matter as we have seen how much damage Kirin does with our own eyes. Far less than what Shinsuusenju has already survived.
-I wasn't responding to your Amaterasu point as it had nothing to do with the thread but I highly doubt Sasuke is capable of lighting up a statue that dwarfs Mountains and is over half a mile tall (Not even counting its width and other dimensions) due to chakra constraints. (It only spread that far and that fast due to the leaves on the trees in the scans you posted)
FACT: The total energy output from a thunderstorm is equal to that of an atom bomb.
FACT: A single bolt contains 5 Bil joules. This is very likely far greater than any chakra Hashirama can output at any given time, meaning that lightning trumps his Shinsuusenju in quantity of chakra/energy. It would literally be impossible for his body to generate such power within itself.
It doesn't matter how much damage Kirin did earlier in the series. What's most important is, lightning's strength. Kishimoto followed science quite well, in that fire rises to create thunderclouds, necessary for lightning, and he even kept lightning's speed.
So, I'm quite sure that lightning's power would be intact also.
And I mentioned Amaterasu, because this thread is essentially asking, whether or not Sasuke can defeat Hashirama's technique. Following which, to answer that question, I specified that Amaterasu would be the better technique to use.
And you're wrong about Amaterasu; it would burn Hashirama's technique.

we've seen in the manga thus far, and Sasuke was certain that his Amaterasu would burn it down completely.

You failed because you brought IRL logic into the narutoverse to try to make sasuke's attack stronger than it actually is. If Kirin could do more damage it would have during the battle with Itachi, Not only did sasuke have his own Katon he had amaterasu fueling the jutsu and he was holding nothing back, So all your assumptions are pointless.
Kishi obviously didn't keep lightning's power because it was blocked by a lower level susanoo.

Amaterasu doesn't fuel Kirin. Kirin is lightning itself. Fire only created the thunderclouds - science/IRL logic. Then Kirin/lightning reached the ground in 1/1000th of second - science/IRL logic.
Assumptions? Lol.
I used facts and rational arguments.
You've created a false limit for Hashirama's technique. For some reason you think it's invincible. It's not. It was defeated in the manga.
And even if Kirin fails, Sasuke can still use Amaterasu, as I've also explained.
