1- Gai jumped right from his base form to the 8th gate, so there's no charge up. Hashirama can't do shit before gai does this:

2- Hashirama "the guy skilled in the art of escaping" is no way escaping from gai, who is 1o times faster than him. Gai destroys any defence Hashirama used and dodges any atack hashirama makes.
3- Anyways Hashirama is no way reacting to Gai's atacks so he isn't "hyding" either.
4- If hashi doesn't atack gai, what else can he do? Just wait until he gets his head blown off?
Show me a scan of Hashirama using a jutsu that would actually protect him from 8th gate gai atacks. Oh wait, there isn't.
@bold: LOL, Gai even cracked TSB, how would "mokuton techniques" have helped him?
Hashirama gets shit stomped, stop posting already.
