So basically... take away everything that makes the other characters strong and he's the strongest, right?

First of all, one of your premises is kinda wrong:

Honestly, hes the only character that doesnt have any sort of enhancement that the other people don't have.

But of all the people who are as strong, or stronger, than him, the only one who really has a unique power is Sasuke whit his rinne-sharingan (or wathever it's called). Now, let's effectively take away all the "external power ups" we saw in the series, such as:  the Ten Tails (Madara/Obito) Wood Release (Madara/Obito) the Rinne-Sharingan (Sasuke) the Bijuus chakra (Naruto) Six-paths senjutsu (or wathever Naruto gained from Hagoromo) 

there's still one question: has Naruto retained his power-up after the fight with Sasuke? Because honestly I haven't seen him using anything that seems to be his power up after the end of Shippuuden, not in The Last, not in the Boruto movie nor in the Boruto series: he simply used Bijuu chakra mode (and he earned it throug training), and maybe (but I'm not sure of this) Sage Mode... and keep in mind that now he should have both the Yin and Yang part of Kurama's chakra. Now, the questions are:  Is post-Shippuuden Naruto stronger than Hashirama? Does post-Shippuuden Naruto have six-paths senjutsu?</li> </ol>

IMHO the answers are "yes" (he seems to be on par with Rinne-Sharingan Sasuke) and "no until proved differently"
