From what I gather, this topic is about who is strongest without an external power up that is given to them and not trained to obtain.

Seeing as how Hashirama inherited all of Asura's Chakra, that immediately removes him from the category since he got Asura's Chakra just like Naruto got Asura's and Hagoromo's. He was given that power.

Thus, the only people that could be considered would only be Gai with his Gates, Minato and Tobirama, Current Gaara, Onoki or Muu for preference, Third Raikage or 4th for preference, and Itachi. I think these guys would be the head of the packs of natural prowess. Maybe even prime Hiruzen and Shisui in statements alone.
