From where I stand, it looks pretty obvious to me that the way Naruto is going to surpass the previous Hokage is by becoming the new Sage; the real one, not this pseudo-Madara one who only has his powers. The Sage is meant to not only just be powerful, but wise and have the ability to either unite the world in peace or totally and utterly destroy it. Like someone said before, it's been hinting majorly that the nations want to unite and it is all because of Naruto/the 9 Tails and Bee/8 Tails anyway.
From where I stand, it looks very much like Naruto's going to unite the nations as one to bring peace. This will stop all the wars, and Naruto would have Nagato's answer. He would have achieved all his goals. The only way he can really show he is the most powerful person ever as well - powerful enough to rule all the nations under him is to defeat the Juubi, and he'll have to seal it somehow...
By the way, I really don't think he has to defeat Hashirama in power to surpass him. Madara is far surpassed/ahead of Hashirama since he's practically EMS Madara + Hashirama with Nagato's Rinnegan powers. I mean c'mon... it doesn't get more haxxed than that. All Naruto has to do is defeat Madara and he's defo surpassed Hashirama. But I reckon its Sasuke Naruto's going to have to beat to prove this cos I get the feeling that Sasuke's going to come along and troll Madara since the only way for Sasuke to get any hype or feats before the battle with Naruto is to defeat the biggest baddest Uchiha around, and with ease. But I just don't see how an EMS Sasuke can do it.
And I also really don't think Sasuke's going to get Rinnegan. Kishi needs to let the EMS have its' moment to shine, so Sasuke will probably have to use that new jutsu from that scroll Suigetsu got for him that apparently could end the war. But I think Team Taka will have to eliminate Orochimaru after Sasuke's enlightening trip to "the one who knows everything" first if he's going to get to use/take away the scroll, especially since it's Oro's. Unless Oro lets him borrow it lol...
