Bros, bros, bros calm the hell down with the Akatsuki overhype. Hashirama could tank Kurama Bijuudamas, and sorry but ya'll highballing the shit out of the C0 explosion. "Towering over mountains" my ass, that's called perspective, and using pixel-measurements or perspective-based showcasing of an attack to determine it's explosive yield is absurd; that's the same shit that people used to claim KCM1 Naruto was 68 times faster than the Raikage lmao. Hashirama has insane regenerative capabilities, was able to BEAT alive Madara, and also has True Thousand Hands. True Thousand Hands is like...several, several times larger than Kurama, and was able to dick his Susan'oo-clad ass down. Pain got dicked by a fraction of half of the Nine Tails.
Beyond hearsay though, here's the facts.
Hidan - Doesn't do shit. No way he touches Hashirama.
Sasori - Underrated af most of the time, instakill poison is a big deal except Hashirama's regeneration would *probably* deal with it, and again, doesn't have the speed or AP to really get up on Hashi.
Kakuzu - Listen they fought before, we know who won, and generally while Kakuzu is monstrous, Hashirama is just a completely different league of monster.
Konan - I mean paper is made from trees...but really though not enough AP without preptime and even then, doubtful.
Deidara - C0 is in the argument for some people, I just think everybody is overrating the **** out of that blast's power. Even if we somehow do claim it's on par with a Jubi blast, it kills every member of the Akatsuki too, except Obito I guess, and I just highly doubt it would take Hashi out.
Kisame - Strong as hell, just again, not in the same conversation as Hashi.
Itachi - "Oh but the Yata Mirror-" IS NOT AN OMNIDIRECTIONAL SHIELD. True thousand hands ripped apart Madara's Susan'oo, Itachi's isn't doing shit against Hashi. Genjutsu? I mean sure but we're talking about the guy who fought like...the Sharingan guy; he definitely knows to not look him in the eyes.
Pain - What's he gonna do. Chibaku Tensei? True Thousand Hands. Listen, if we're talking alive Nagato in like, his prime, then okay, but even then, he's just not in the same tier of power.
Obito - The literal only actual threat to Hashi in any capacity. I just think in a battle of endurance (because Obito isn't going to be able to really do anything to kill Hashirama, not like he'll be able to close the distance to Kamui his ass), Hashi outlasts him.
Hashirama stomps the **** out of the Akatsuki.
