If Hashirama is a Shinobi no Kami, then Rikudo is a real Kami
the hokages were gods of shinobi. rikudo sennin is god of everything.
kabuto even called madara just a fraction of "that god's power" which refers to the sage. so if madara is just a pipsqueak compared to the sage, and everyone who knew about him thought so, obviously hes leagues above everyone in every way. according to obito he went above what normal humans were capable of when he beat juubi.
he is known to have
- juubi
- creation of all things which is both a super izanagi and yin yang creatiion jutsu which enabled him to create the 9 bijuus. and this isnt just random hype thanks to a kurama flashback of him talking to the young bijuus
- all rinnegan powers manyfold stronger than anything nagato can do which nagato himself admitted when his own CT is nothing compared to what rikudo did to make the moon
- made the goddamn moon on his deathbed without juubi sealed inside
- the father of both uchiha and senju and had the best of both worlds in rinnegan and incredible physical energy.
- madaras plan with a weaker juubi is a worldwide genjutsu. it stands to reason rikudo with juubi is capable of something equally powerful with casual ease
all this means hashirama and hiruzen and nagato are just pathetic pretenders and not really deserving of their titles at all. rikudo stomped a god, the progenitor, who swallowed oceans and lifted mountains. come to me when hashi or madara does anythign like that.
with the creation jutsu alone, he solos matter itself it seems. he can just split people into 9 pieces then step on them.
it wasnt too long ago hashirama himself was just all hype. now people have moved on to saying the sage is all hype when the moon is there is it not? and we saw him talking to bijuus like a father right? kurama has no reason to lie when called rikudo his grandfather
