Lest we forget, Hashirama's Wood Release is more or less a watered-down version of the Shinju, so it absorbs chakra. It is particularly effective against the Bijuu. But the manga also shows Edo Hashirama counteracting Edo-Rinnegan Madara's Preta Path (the ability to absorb chakra) by absorbing Madara's chakra his Wood Release, and then trappping him with his Sage Art: Gracious Deity Gates. So that means that Hashi's wood release can also absorb chakra from humans. So once the Sanin are caught in Hashi's Deep Forest Emergence (like how Old Hiruzen was caught in Part 1), then they're fucked. True, I also think he could defeat them with his other techniques, it's just that using the Buddha technique would bring him a certain win, thus basically making the entire discussion useless. If anything, Hashirama would win with this for sure, thus answering the question "Hashirama or Sannin?".

Also, seriously: Jiraiya's swamp (!) is supposed to help in this fight? Like, really?? xD xD
