Also I don't see hashirama losing to the previous 5 kage. Edo Madara was only ever in a bind because he is too prideful to go all out from the beginning. he expanded his arsenal as he saw fit and he tested the abilities of the kage, but he never let them come to close to killing him. he substituted himself out of sealing techs and remained at a safe distance when he could to avoid fatal injury. Hashirama has not shown that weakness. he opens with deep forest emergence which none of the kage are stopping. Ohnoki isn't tagging him with jinton, ohnoki has repeatedly been portrayed to be inferior to even EMS madara, so he isn't touching hashirama. If hashirama is bloodlusted he godstomps with shinsuusenju, not even tsunade is coming out of that alive. hashirama literally outclasses them in every way imagineable, he is an infinitely better version of tsunade, he can casually react to the raikage while in sage mode, gaara's firepower and defenses would be overwhelmed. mei doesn't cut it either. sage mode sensing and healing counters her mist in every way.
