Naruto surpassed Hashirama only because of the bijuu and Hagoromo. The OP is saying who the strongest is with no body mods or power from other characters Even without Hagoromo, Naruto was well on his way to surpassing Hashirama. Hell combining Biju and Sage Mode closed the gap immensely, and Naruto was able to tag and damage Juubi Jins with said power-something Hashirama explicitly was unable to do. Sorry, its kind of overestimating Hashirama.
