The Kinkaku force killed Tobirama. Kinkaku & Ginkaku only put him on the verge of Death. The Fact that they possessed Large chakra reserves and Kyuubi Chakra plus possessing the 5 treasured tools of the sage of the six paths prooves they are stronger than him.

No one knows who killed hashirama. Its a mystery we may never know. Only Madara & Mito were strong enough to compete with him. I doubt its self sacrifice cause he reshaped battle fields to his advantage with Mukoton.

And orochimaru's parents? The 3rd mizukage looks like orochimaru. Maybe thats his father? And the real reason why he attacked konoha.
