Well during their era Hashirama was indeed stronger than Madara. (Madara completely outclassed him since he got the Rinnegan though, let alone his other power-ups.)
However, Naruto is only Sasuke's equal. He said he didn't want to kill him, which is true, he wanted them both to survive, because an all out fight would end in both their deaths. A scenario that was foreshadowed along with them progressing as equals throughout the series.

If you say so man.
Sasuke went all out..while Naruto only made sure his power equaled Sasuke so he wouldn't fatally injure him.
It's just the truth.
Sasuke went all out with the intent to kill, and Naruto did not share the same intentions, but he was also forced to go all out in order to survive.
That is the truth. They both squeezed out every ounce of their energy.

These constant superiority/inferiority threads are really pointless and redundant when the manga has made something abundantly clear, and Kishi even stated it himself in an interview, that Naruto and Sasuke are

Equal.
But hey, these threads and discussions are what's keeping this place alive, I'm guilty of participating myself. :lol
OT; Both Naruto and Hashirama just know what's up.
Lol, weren't you always a "they're equal" advocate? :bdpf: Anyways read above.

These Naruto and Sasuke threads always end up EXACTLY the same, with the EXACT same debates and EXACT same arguments being used. Wish I could call it deja vu.
