People are forgetting that what they consider to be "Naruto" is actually 10 characters in one. Base form Sasuke is miles ahead >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> from base form Naruto. All their power-ups included, they are equal in my opinion. People are just too biased towards Ashura/Hashirama/Naruto.
 * Ashura vs Indra ended with death of them both, equals, but Ashura was gifted Hagoromo's power as an extra, so Indra was actually the stronger one naturally.
 * Hashirama vs Madara, Hashirama I admit is indeed a tad stronger, but he didn't defeat Madara, Madara allowed himself to be defeated on purpose in order to steal his powers and to erase himself from history. He used Izanagi, meaning for Hashirama to have been the real winner, he would need to have killed Madara two more times.
