Jiraiya's fire release combination attack with Gamabunta is more than enough to burn Hashirama's forest creation. Jiraiya's Needle Jizo will make it near impossible for taijutsu to work against him. He has the destructive Rasengan and backup from Gamabunta who can also pose a threat. Then there is Jiraiya's mud swamp technique, which even Hashirama won't be able to escape from if caught. I think that alone will solve the whole regeneration problem by keeping him trapped under. However, Hashirama does have the Bringer of Darkness, and since Jiraiya pretty much admitted that he sucked at genjutsu, and Ma or Pa ain't here to help, he's going to be a goner.
