But you said Sasuke couldn't. He clearly can, with range too. And the resistance of even Kurama is nigh-none. In fact, the only consciousness depicted was his plea for Naruto's help; no movement whatsoever, really.

And when exactly did Hashirama put Kurama to sleep? I'm guessing the fight between Madara and him, but of course, it wouldn't be, because it semi-tanked possibly a thousand blows from wooden hands larger than its torso, so really, it more so delineates the durability of Kurama.
