Prime Hashirama's Level
When Madara Uchiha was first introduce, I always believe that he was the strongest shinobi ever existed in the series (not to include the Rikoudu Sennin of course). His name alone speaks power & one of the reasons why the 4th Great Shinobi World War started. However, my doubt rose when he was resurrected & was forced to fight the 5 Kages. Though he certainly toyed with them, he openly admitted during the battle that only Hashirama is capable of stopping him. He even lamented that he would have taught Hashirama how to resurrect himself if he had known how much weaker the modern day shinobi would be compared to them. As such, I became interested with Hashirama’s supremacy & with the recent chapters released, I incline to view him as the most powerful shinobi in the battlefield.
Hashirama’s Undeniable Hypes as Proclaimed in the Series
- Kabuto stated that Hashirama's competence was so enormous, that there aren't any living shinobi in the current era that could match his level of power. It was such that many considered his prowess to be a mere fairy tale much like the existence of the Sage of the Six Paths.

Not to mention that he became the leader of the Senju who was a group of shinobi that were the strongest, feared and most respected clan above all other clans in the ninja world during the war-torn era before the founding of the hidden villages.

Hashirama’s God-Like Feats & Abilities
- Wood Clones - Unlike other clone techniques, the wood clones don't disappear when hit and takes the damage to a certain degree.
- Gigantic Flowering Trees - allows him to force trees to grow on any surface in an instant. The pollen produced by these flowers is then released into the atmosphere and when inhaled, renders any afflicted target unconscious.
- Giant Wooden Dragon - capable of restraining the Nine-Tails by using its immense serpentine body to constrict and absorb its chakra.
- Wood Golem - works in conjunction with the dragon and is strong enough to catch a Tailed Beast Ball with its bare hands. He could also create protective structures that are able to withstand the destructive force of a Tailed Beast Ball, and could even create several giant wood hands that could block the sword of Madara's final Susanoo.
- Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - After entering Sage Mode, Hashirama creates a wooden statue of titanic proportions, easily able to dwarf a tailed beast like Kurama.
- Sage Art: Gate of the Great God - a technique that can bind a titanic creature such as the Ten-Tails, making it unable to move due to the bulk of its current form.

greater than Tsunade as per Madara’s statement. Hashirama’s Stamina, Life Force & Chakra Levels
As a Senju, Hashirama inherited an extraordinary life force, as well as physical energy and stamina. So much that he was able to fight Madara for

and still have enough energy to deliver a final blow. Further, his chakra reserves are so great that after seeing Naruto distribute chakra to the entire Alliance, he noted that the volume was on as impressive level as his very own.Hashirama’s SageMode Significance
With Madara’s latest revelation, it seems that his trump card is to gain access of Hashirama’s Sennin powers necessarily to stop RS Obito then switch place with him. As we can see from their on-going battle, Hashirama isn’t going all-out unlike Madara who used

to even Hashirama’s Wooden Dragon Technique. But what interest me most is the fact that why would Madara wanted to acquire Hashirama’s Senjutsu Art. Perhaps he wanted to gain this power eventually.

Conclusion
With all the facts presented above, I considered Hashirama stand still higher than any forms of Madara. I also believe that he is the only shinobi who can defeat the Akatsuki in an all-out clash. His power is so great that I even find it impossible to achieve for the rest of the shinobi’s without stealing or borrowing powers from others. Imagine SM-Hashirama standing on his Wood Dragon along with the multiple bijiu’s he possessed in his prime... Even Rinnegan Madara will get fodderized.

Now as for my question, how powerful was Prime Hashirama? I believe he’s above Rinnegan Madara, at the same tier as RS Obito, but in a little lower level compared to Pre-Jinchuriki Rikoudu....
