Naruto only beat him because of his scar, and he was being controlled by Kabuto. Plus if he can take a rasenshuriken and be unphased it will not be as simple as being wood strangled.
True, but what can he do about the World Tree's Flower we've seen in the last chapter....the kage's were frightened of it and said not to breath it in. They only managed to escape it due to Onoki's floating rocks. The 3rd Raikage can't fly and will have to breath eventually.
The scar wasn't anything. It wasn't a weak point in the 3rd. And he didn't take Rasenshuriken "unphased". He did have to get healed by Edo Tensei, and he was quite literally smoking after he was knocked on his ass. Heck, even Temari's Wind Release tech. managed to injure him some.
the 3rd wins cuz no scar an the first dont kno how to take him down..naruto wind jutsu did nonthing to the 3rd raikage...he would just hold his breath an take the plants out he would just fight till the first runs out of chakra.
WTH Hashi was already half-dead once the fight fininshed man he looked like granny chiyo.
Well if Hashirama didn't have knowledge of using the Raikage's technique against him, then it'd only be fair for the Raikage to not expect it....even if he did have knowledge, the way I see it playing out is Hashirama just using a wood release to get him as high as possible where the Raikage can't reach him and suffocate in the forest with pollen.
Although we didn't get to see all of the damage Rasenshuriken did because of where our viewpoint was, you can still see that he DID get damaged some, just Edo Tensei healed it (note the Edo Tensei scraps in the image where the 3rd is knocked out for a sec)
