Hashirama was dead at the time as well. He could have something like "no one alive can stand a chance against me" or "only shinobi of my time can face me" something along those lines. During the Warring States few people made it into late adulthood. Anyone with power near what Hashirama and Madara would have been noted. The databooks mentioned prodigies that came before Hashirama and Madara and their skill was touted rather than their raw power. We're talking about ninja before the warring state period, so not sure what all the first part is for

For the databook statement, there is no way to say what's better between skill or raw power, since we can't measure them in the same way, (so can't say with the same quantity of skill I beat the same quantities of raw powe) plus from what databook is this statement?

And when was he shown or stated to be capable launching an attack big enough or sustaining an attack long enough to cause the kind of damage Madara's Perfect Susanoo did? Not sure about lenght we don't see how far the pillar goes, tho it can create a valley

I was referring more to the fact they could have been left dead or without power many times in the series

For Naruto:
 * Minato happened to know the right techniques to seal Kurama in Naruto
 * That Haku wasnt trying to kill him
 * Tsunade was able to heal him after Kabuto stopped his heart
 * Sakura could pull off making his heart beat after the Kyubi extraction
 * Minato had the other half of Kurama to give him after
 * Minato had the other half of Kurama to give him after

Sasuke lucked out: Well sure, good addition then
 * That Haku wasnt trying to kill him
 * That he survived Orochimaru's Curse Mark process. Twice.
 * That Itachi wasnt trying to kill him
 * That Itachi's eyes were undamaged from their fight
 * Juugo being able to heal him after Killer B blew out most of his chest and neck
 * That Gaara tried to talk him down instead of joining the fight at 5 Kage Summit

Rinnegan yes. Nagato and Obito used them. They cant unlock them, but they can use them Yeah and the one could use two was an Uzumaki while the other had half the body replaced with Hashirama cells and could only control one

And everyone has the potential to be one. Obito had no Rinnegan or Bijuu and look where he ended up. You either become friend with all the bijuu or have a rinnegan, both of these can't be accoplished by normal ninja

The prophecy still says nothing about power or fighting. The chosen one could create a thing that saves or destroys the world or seal/unseal a thing that destroys/saves the world or sacrifice themself or have been a feudal lord who change the world the world through politics What you here called chosen one=/= what I called chosen one, as I said the profecy was an indication of the protagonist being chosen one, but not the only one we got; for the rest sure there are other ways, tho Jiraiya's choses strong people in Minato, Nagato and Naruto

You'ee ok with Naruto inheriting power but not Sasuke At best I'm sligthly ok with Naruto getting his power, I don't like both of those, but I didn't feel like I could say too much about Naruto given that he did something to get it
