Killman.

That wasn't ever stated though. In fact, Hashirama himself firmly believed he was completely immobilized. Madara also stated he couldn't fight normally, until he came back to life. Besides, what does having a limited Rinnegan have to do with him physically breaking the jutsu? Rinnegan wouldn't have broken it. Wood dragons absorbed his Chakra and thus wouldn't allow him to absorb jutsu or have the reserves to use techniques, so having Rinnegan won't really let him to do shit in that position.

I think I'm going to trust Hashirama's word in the matter, being the strongest Shinobi in history without Six Paths Power Ups.
