Prodigy hero wrote: The Gokage take this, they have too many deciding factors for them. Ei's speed will overwhelm Hashirama. Lava, boil, and dust release for the gokage. He will also have a tough time dealing with Gaara's sand manipulation. Not to mention that the Gokage actually enhance each other. Onoki enchances A's speed massively but can also increase his weight to enhance his weight massively, increasing both his speed and punching power while alleviating Onoki's weakness of being frail.

The Mizukage's Boil defeated a Susanoo before, and Tsunade has healing and reserves at least at Biju level (since she directly says you need reserves similar to Hashi's to heal without seals and she can do that with her Strength of a Hundred seal). With Gaara's sand to move them about, pull them out of danger or putting them into superior positions, the Five Kage are much stronger together than they are independently.
