By whom were you impressed more in terms of power impact?

Naruto and Sasuke or Hashirama and Madara?

I love Naruto and Sasuke, I love their powers but Kishimoto's portrayal and the overall impression of their strength pales in comparison to Hashirama's and Madara's display of power. Don't get me wrong, Naruto and Sasuke can probably take them, a newer generation always surpasses the old one, after all. But the depiction of their predecessors was simply more unique and powerful.

Maybe it was just because Hashirama and Madara used the superior power before anyone else and then Naruto's and Sasuke's showcasing looked just like a rehash or something with a few minor differences. When I first saw their battle, I thought that they fought like gods. Even Kaguya didn't leave that impression on me.

What's your take on it?

I absolutely agree with you. I think it was the fact that they were the first to showcase such level of power, hence the impact was bigger.

I also decided on that as an answer to that problem.

Hashirama and Madara...but it had nothing to do with their power levels. It was the amount of strategy they used despite the power and how serious the atmosphere was at the point.

Sasuke because Sakura wasn't an option.

But still naruto and Sasuke powers seemed basic, and over done even though Naruto got her resengan beast variants I wasn't impressed. Hashirama power were boss though
