Please don't bring up that god awful filler about Indra and Ashura it should not be considered canon and doesn't even fit with the original Manga (Hagoromo states in the manga Ashura's power blossomed via his effort not because he was given it).

Hashirama is not Naruto or Ashura, he is his own person and the only thing the 3 have in common is the transmigrating chakra. Ashura gained six path chakra from hagormo,and still he was only able to draw with his brother.(manga showed that,it is not something from the filler)

taking in consideration that Hashirama was able to learn all five natures,and was skilled in a good variety of jutsus is pretty impressive to me mainly compared to naruto that only spam rasegan and shadow clones.

and he was not dumb neither he was smart enough to trick Madara and he knowdlege of a jutsus that he never saw in his life(the rinnegan reincarnation jutsu) but of course he wasn't a genius like his brother.
