Hashirama's Wood God (or is it called Wood Human? I don't recall) was capable of literally catching a Tailed Beast Ball... remember, that extraordinarily dense ball of chakra so heavy that Naruto (prior to his friendship with the Kyuubi) couldn't lift it? I have a suspicion that a senjutsu enhanced Wood God/Human could sustain a Dust Release.

Also, Hashirama went toe-to-toe with Madara and the Kyuubi for an entire day and still had the energy to stand... hell, more than just stand; he defeated them. His life force and might are immense.

Put Sage Hashirama, flanked by his Wood creations, aided by his years in war, versus the five kage, battling in a forest of he summoned himself... I don't believe Onoki would be able to hit him. I think Hashirama would have a certain level of control over the battle; his experience and skill are too high to sit around and allow himself to be hit by Dust Release (a jutsu, in Hashirama's favor, that is rather taxing to use anyway). Use Sage Mode; create a forest labyrinth; cast Bringer-of-Darkness; hunt the kage in turn, sensing them out, utilizing the trees and roots to impale and decapitate. Endgame Hashirama.
