My take is that the only person pretty much guaranteed not to win is Hashirama. This isn't a "which hokage could beat all the others 1v1?" thread, it's "who would survive a battle royale?" So, assuming all the hokage are trying to win, any time any two non-hashirama hokage run into each other, I imagine something like "Hey, Hashirama is OP AF, wanna team up? We don't, he shitstomps us individually, all the easier if we try to kill each other right now."

So the real question would be, who's still alive after Hashirama goes down in a 1v5, and who manages to pull off a win afterwards. Hiruzen is the only hokage without some crazy survival jutsu(FTG, Kamui, Regeneration) so he'd be most likely to die in the titanic gangup either via a cheapshot from an "ally" or simply getting crushed by Hashirama. Next to die I believe would be Tsunade, since she's a relatively slow, tanky character in a den of either speed blitzers or someone who could one-shot her(Kakashi) Kakashi then dies to an FTG instagib, since his two remaining opponents are likely constantly moving around at high speeds. Tobirama then loses 1v1 to Minato because Kurama is disgustingly overpowered(dude did 99% of Naruto's work for him and yet the show isn't called Kurama. Pure injustice.)
