You should do the logical opposite, and instead use their performance against Momoshiki and Kinshiki (who are a threat greater than Kaguya together) to showcase just how powerful they all are nowadays. Arguing about whether or not Hashirama can beat Sasuke now or not is not worth addressing. The series has made it clear who is stronger back in 2014, and has continued to make the gap in power even more severe since then. Only Naruto and Sasuke haters and/or Hashirama and Madara fanboys would still to this day continue to say that VOTE Hashirama and Madara can compete with Naruto and Sasuke at this point. Yes of course. The author obviously intends for Gaara and the other Kage to be above Hashirama/Madara since they can competently fight Momoshiki & Kinshiki whom would rip Hashirama & Madara's heads off before they can blink, correct?

If this is what you're saying then you aren't really worth being taken seriously. The Kages fighting opponents on the level that give Naruto & Sasuke trouble would logically prove the opposite to what you're asserting which would be that Naruto & Sasuke were never as strong as you thought they were.

Sasuke doesn't even have chakra on par with Kurama. When gifted chakra by Hagoromo, it's true that his reserves would be much greater than Hashirama. But as proven time and again in the series, chakra gifts are temporary. Since then, Sasuke's chakra reserves would've reverted to his original amount.

This is made clear in the Boruto movie, where Sasuke makes a couple of dozen clones and mentions Naruto can make thousands, meaning his reserves are not remotely comparable to Naruto and thus not even near Hashirama's.

Just wanted to clear that up.

As to speed feats etc, i don't think anything meaningful can be said. Hashirama however tied with an EMS Madara, and while EMS Sasuke wasn't on that level, Rinnegan Sasuke is clearly above EMS Madara.

That, and the Rinnegan would give Hashirama enough trouble. Plus, Amaterasu would make mincemeat of Wood Release. 50% of Hagoromo's chakra were the Yin & Yang seals. Hagoromo's chakra was never truly apart of Sasuke to begin with. He lost Hagoromo's chakra after using Six Paths CT.

The only difference between Rinnegan Sasuke & Ems Sasuke is the Rinnegan & the fact that he can manifest Perfect Susano'o on his own due to the superior ocular power. They possess the exact same physical stats.

Amaterasu is countered by purging the affected area of Hashirama's body with Mokuton.
