Except ayy and bee fought minato many times, and they couldn't touch him. they clearly said minato was unsurpassable for them. your second point would be accurate if killer bee didn't claim that sasuke was the strongest person he fought in a serious battle, which again is clear wank. he fought minato. and Minato would easily stomp the version of sasuke that killer bee fought. no susano'o? weakened from his fight with itachi ? it's no contest. FTG level 2 would stomp sasuke and his entire crew.

Again, the whole theme of hashirama and madara is that hashirama considered madara a friend. you yourself just stated that hashirama didn't need to go all out to defeat him in the past either. Even when he had a clear chance to kill madara, he refused to kill him and instead signed a peace treaty. I have no reason to believe hashirama considered ohnoki a friend that he would hesitate to kill if ohnoki threatened the Leaf.
