It's not about durability or attack power here, Hashirama's pollen technique could put him to sleep, Hashirama's wood dragons can zap him of his chakra, or even his kakuan technique could zap the 3rds chakra. No chakra equals no raiton armor/boost. Hashirama then only needs to crush him with his Wood Release, not penetrate him with it.
