^Clearly from the manga panels, the third was lightly damaged. Regardless of Naruto's comments. Wind trumps lightning, it has the natural advantage, so please give reasons Rasenshuriken won't do internal damage. Lighting release repels lightning release.
power scaling is what really matters. Temari with her wind was able to deflect Sasuke's fire. Also weren't the lines there because of "edo paper stuff"? Plus Rasenshuriken's attack is like tiny little blades hitting the targets. They would have to first overcome Armor and than Raikage's hard body before it reaches chakra pathway. I don't see how tiny little single blade would be capable enough to penetrate if chidori failed.

Hashirama's wood release(wood human)
caught Madara's Susanoo sword that was able to slice mountains. That's all the evidence there. Rasenshuriken destroyed the wood dragon, which can be destroyed easily if the head is demolished. As I said his wood release varies, some techniques are stronger than others.
Caught not endure. The sword would have sliced off the golem too. And Rasenshuriken destroyed wood dragon whose head was absorbing MAdara's chakra becoming stronger. This is not the case of head being destroyed. Brute force just broke the dragon.

Furthermore, Rasenshuriken staggered the Third Raikage, enough for him to be bound with the cloth technique.
What I don't understand is why users compare Hashirama's wood release to regular wood. There is obviously a distinction and wood release itself varies from technique to technique. Claiming there isn't or making 'comparisons' with non-defensive wood release is just plain wrong.
Wood dragon isn't regular wood. Rubber cutting attack shouldn't been taken lightly especially when raikage was just using 4 finger assault(or was it 3?). One Finger would easily slice anything. Plus Staggering will happen to observe laws of momentum conservation. to stagger something that ginormous or pinned object is definitely more difficult.
