Alright
 * The OP said they are aware of each other abilities, so anything Hashirama pulls out Naruto will be aware of its nature.
 * Naruto also has incredible healing power.
 * I never said Hashirama wasn't a beast, I just said he didn't actually hold off the Ten-tails through single combat. He sealed its movement easily because it wasn't moving. Ironic, eh?
 * Sealing Naruto's movement is hard because:
 * Naruto is aware of this abilities
 * Naruto can also somewhat counter the Giant 1000 Arm Buddha with his own chakra arms, if need be, mitigating potential damage. He is also fast enough to evade this technique.
 * Naruto moves around and displays better speed feats than Hashirama
 * Naruto can exit Tailed-Beast Mode at will, coupled with the fact he knows all of Hashirama's sealing techniques, this is invaluable.
 * He only sealed Madara with the exact same technique because Naruto hit him with a Giant Rasenshuriken, causing him to lose form, and thus - stop moving.

All-in-all, Naruto displays better versatility than any other opponent that Hashirama has fought before, including Madara.

Because
 * Madara fought without prior knowledge to most of Hashirama's abilities, Naruto has knowledge
 * Madara fought with a physical and therefore less versatile Kurama, Naruto can manifest chakra Kurama, arms, etc etc
 * Madara literally has no other jutsu that can rival Hashirama other than Susano'o, Naruto has a bunch of Jutsu that can. Remember when Naruto countered Deep Forest Emergence with Rasengan's?
 * Madara cannot put up an effective counter nor dodge the 1000 Arm Buddha, while Naruto can.
 * Hashirama himself is more versatile than Madara, similar to the versatility of Naruto.

TL;DR: I'm not saying Full KSM Naruto stronger than Hashirama by any means, I'm just saying it's relatively even. When opponents of near-equal caliber fight, it's really down to the first one who makes a mistake.
