Well there is no doubt the 1st hokage is strong let it be noted that The third hokage did manage to defeat the 1st and second hokage by him self in his old age theres a reason why the Third hokage is called the god of shinobi
if orochimaru gave hashirama his scroll, maybe hashirama could recall a jutsu that can stop the shiki fujin, there is a reason why people hunt for the scroll, there is a reason why hashirama put his jutsu in a scroll, cause it was a thousands just as senju means, so he need a note that can gave him a fast recall how to use the jutsu, just like a song writer who has write a thousand songs, he can't remember all his songs easily without a little pieces to bring his memory back to it,
maybe shinobi no kami is because sasuke sarutobi fames, why the god of shinobi can't do a good one to save the village from kyuubi, just like hashirama take over kyuubi and take down madara and still alive, if he really that strong he would never let yondaime hurt that much,
Why are people so blind to the obvious truth? Hashirama Senju is considered by many as the most powerful shinobi of his time. He was greatly respected by most shinobi during his lifetime, such that Tobi claimed Hashirama was the one person whom he respected the most as well as detested. His prowess and abilities were so great that he was able to not only fight on equal footing with Madara Uchiha despite his power of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and having the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox at his side, but even gained victory in the end and survived the battle.

At one point he had all the tailed beasts in his possession; the only other person other than So6P to fully control tailed beasts at the time. Absolutely Immense.
Would the idiots saying Tobi > Hashirama please sit down (considering Tobi was brushed aside by Minato U_U)
Mokuton is the most powerful KKG, so powerful Hashirama was able to beat Madara EMS and Kyuubi with mainly this technique. This is just Madara using it for the first time: Do you know how powerful Hashirama's was considering he was the only person to be able to naturally use and and he mastered it?

Hashirama > EMS Madara (strongest Uchiha ever) and Kyuubi at the same time.

Right now, only edo rinnegan Madara has bettered him. I hear nonsense like Naruto > Hashirama: You do know Hashirama can supress the kyuubi and subsequently stop Naruto using any of it's chakra. Remember that necklace Tsunade passed down to Naruto which could control his Kyuubi chakra? Are you forgetting where it came from?:

Look at how many people have fought to get just a tiny bit of Hashirama's DNA. His chakra reserves were immense, and have subsequently allowed other shinobi's to amplify and control various other abilities. An entire Zetsu army was made out of his DNA. Tobi is flippin trying to grow another Hashirama for goodness sake:

Skip to 2mins. Tell me: what da fuq could a susanoo do against this? This technique hardly uses up much of his chakra reserves also, Unlike sharingan techniques which consume SO MUCH FRICKIN chakra.
In the manga, he also showed great genjutsu prowess, using the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique that covered the area in darkness which even Hiruzen couldn't dispel.This technique exerts an hallucinatory effect upon the eyesight, effectively blinding the opponent. No matter how skilled an opponent may be, they are forced to wait helpless in this world of darkness, as this technique allows the user to attack unseen. SO bye bye to any genjutsu that requires eye contact *cough* Itachi *cough*

if madara has rinnegan , nagato is compared to him , minato and hiruzen where considered stronger , and many shinobi summoned in the war where compared to minato , hes like 10th

madara's had it for far longer than hashi ever did. if hashirama is considered the pinnacle of power, then nagato and madara are of a higher level still.

Was Hashirama the "strongest shinobi after the Sage"? No. One of the most powerful? Hell. Yeah. He defeated EMS Madara (who was NOT trying to die) and Kurama by himself. Hashirama was stated to be the strongest ninja in the world in his time. he could perfectly control multiple Tailed Beasts. He was a BAMF; no doubt about it.
he said "i want to test something". meaning he wanted to use mokuton to see how good it is in battle with some high level people and to test the nine tails jin.
"as you say, hes some kid".
As many people have said, it was stated in the manga that the 3rd was the strongest hokage in history and that he was the strongest kage of his generation. Thats pretty damn powerful. Therefore, we can conclude that the 3rd > hashirama.
Also, in his fight against hashirama, I think madara made a huge mistake in using the kyuubi because hashirama could simply put it under his control using his mokuton jutsu, and therefore turn the kyuubi against madara.
I have to heartily agree, purely based on results, first, he beat the strongest Uchiha in Madara (which at that time was one of the strongest clans in the ninja world) who had EMS as well as controlled the Kyuubi (who is the strongest bijuu), I mean what more proof is needed.
