Guys do keep in mind that what we see of Hashirama's abilities are mainly those AFTER they have matured. Naruto, on the other hand, has his abilities showcased when he was younger, so of course he isn't going to be as powerful when we compare the two considering the different in age and experience. He does easily match Hashi's abilities in Gaiden though.
