3rd Raikage died by running out of all of his chakra.. he fought 10'000 shinobi for 3 days straight. Hashirama was killed by Shinobi. Tobirama died against the Kinkaku Squad, 20 of Kumo's most powerful ninja. Hashirama died 34yrs before Naruto was born and he died in the middle of war.. he was killed by Shinobi. I'm pretty sure those Shinobi aren't on Sannin level period. The Sannin were only 26 when they fought Hanzo and according to Kakashi's few comments a shinobi isn't in their prime until around 29-35, even Danzo said Kakashi at 30yrs old was too young. Also Tsunade didn't have Byakugo or her other special healing jutsu then. Orochimaru did not have Senjutsu knowledge or mastery of its usage(not sage mode of course) and Jiraiya apparently didn't use Sage Mode in that battle. So they were not in their prime at that battle
