I'm not really sure what we're getting at with this discussion. Hashirama possesses a bloodlimit, an advanced power up in Sage Mode, and he's a transmigrant. He's not really that much different from Naruto or any of the other main characters. His lack of screen time just gives him fewer different power ups.

If we strip away all of his special abilities and stack him next to somebody like adult naruto I think they'd probably be about even. But that's not much of a real debate because if you strip away all of the kekkei genkai, power ups, tailed beasts and transmigrant powers, the real strongest ninja is probably Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Dude lived through like 2 great ninja wars without any special power ups or blood limits and reigned over the village as Hokage for longer than all of the others combined.
