Well, Naruto still got the yang release chakra of the Sage of the Sixth Paths. Without even using the sage of the sixth paths technique, he was able to overpower Madara the Ten Tails Jinchuruki before Madara absorbed the tree. So, I think Naruto has surpassed Hashirama. Madara and Hashirama were just about about equal by themselves, with Hashirama shading Madara by just a little. But the Ten Tails is a huge power up. If Naruto could so calmly overpower Madara like that, I think it's safe to say he's surpassed Hashirama.
