Okay time for me to step in and say my piece.

I would like to point out that the only reason Madara defeated the five kage was because he was an edo and came back in his prime with Wood Release and the Rinnegan. Something he didn't achieve until his dying age. That was not the Madara that Hashirama faced at the Valley of the End.

Now onto to the battle at hand. The fact that it took Madara to use PS to defeat the five kage, proves that this won't be an easy battle for even Hashirama. The fact that Mei, Onoki and Gaara has the perfect counter to Hashirama's wood release and doesn't have the abilitu to absorb ninjutsu like Madara did which also gave him an upperhand, makes this difficult for Hashirama. Hashirama has not proved much in the taijutsu department or speed. Dealing with Tsunade in taijutsu for him and destructive capabilities won't be easy, and then there is A who has Hashirama beat in speed obviously and strength. Hashirama would need Sage Mode most definitely. When it comes to Dust Release, it has been proven durability doesn't mean squat. Hashirama has the Bringer of Darkness but with Tsunade's 5 in genjutsu, it is possible she would be able to break it. Tsunade has her superb regeneration ability although not on the scale of Hashirama but still very good. However, he will not recover if his arm is torned off. Hashirama has them beat in chakra but I feel if he could beat them, the 1000 arms technique but that's if gets to use it. I think in my opinion the five kage wins in the end with most likely Mei and Onoki dying and with the other kage severely weakened and hurt.
