How Did Madara surpass Hashirama??

[Retsu]

I wouldnt be suprised... There are still Nagato fanboys out there who still believe he awakened the Rinnegan naturally, even after the latest chapter.

Well, at least we have the luxury of reading kishi's gift to us with logic, reason, and common sense. I'd slap myslef if I believed for 1 second some of the crap ppl can cook up, but at least there are still a few of us who have basic reading comprehension.

when did i say that hashirama spread the rumor? wtf are you talking about. madara said that anyone who saw it died which is a legend then right after he said "or so they say" which contradicts it and implies that someone survived it before.

hashirama said that he had the option to let kurama roam free or capture him so he obviously did something to him.

It was stated that Mito Uzumaki did something to seal Kurama into herself, making her the first 9 tails Jinchuuriki, so I'm going to go with that. He had the option to suppress his chakra, and I believe the same skill Yamato uses on Naruto is the same he did against Kurama.
