Honestly, Hashirama shouldn't lose to him in an ideal world. But he will, because most people believe that power-scaling trumps all, and I can't disagree with that. But we have already seen that edo hashirama could take on a six paths enhanced dual rinnegan edo madara and fight him to a stalemate, and sasuke is basically a "stronger" version of that madara. Hashirama's abilities already naturally counter the rinnegan- SM, wood dragons counter preta path, massive wood constructs rooted in the ground counter hypothetical shinra tensei. He also theorectically can react to sasuke's teleportation technique, since he was already able to counter FTG with his sage mode (used by madara, but still). Chidori can't kill hashi due to healing factor. Amaterasu is debatable, depending on how fast hashi is, and he can also block LOS with wood. Hashirama also has plenty of experience fighting susano'o... So, the thing is though Sasuke's arsenal can definitely take him down. Sasuke can fire arrows on top of his buddha. Switch places with one of them, bltiz using chidori and place it in hashi's chest, hashi tanks, then swap places again with one of his arrows, such that arrow gets lodged in hashi's chest, keeping the wound open. Then finish off hashi with amaterasu as he is trying to remove the arrow. But to me, i still feel hashirama is the more calculated fighter, but, w/e. Sasuke wins is the TLDR due to powerscaling.
