If we define "kage" level as what Hashirama does, there would only be one "kage" level shinobi. If Madara's power in that fight is any indication, Hashirama alone is far more than 5 kage level. Tobirama, while the extent of his power is never truly revealed, can be assumed to be far above what we call "kage" too.

Tobirama had no problem using anything as a weapon, to the point where he developed a jutsu that raised the dead to fight again. Raijin 1000 miles away and having the 8gates user die as a result would very much be in his tactical book. though i'd like to mention that Tobirama could just stick a Kunai in Lee's throat when he prepares the 8th gate by using Raijin.
