pain instantly shanks jiraiya with bansho tennin + rod stab. giving him no time to enter SM.
with manga intel, pain knows tsunade is one tough bi tch, and orders the soul rippers (human, preta, naraka) to hold her off.
deva and animal shank jiraiya then turn their attentions on roochimaru, nullifying his jutsus with ST then moving in with rod stabs and cerberus.
if things get bad, CT ends it.
anyone who thinks pein could win against 3 sannin, when he could barely win against jiraya
he only needed 4 paths, and jiraya was the one strugglign vs just one path who wasnt fighting him seriously, till he busted out his summons. if pain were serious and aimed for chakra rod stab fast, it would be over quickly. also pain had to go one path at a time because he didnt know waht jiraiyas powers were.
They'd win. Jiraiya on his own was able to take out 3.
no he wasnt. he needed his two frog summons which IC pain with intel obviously will not allow to happen this time around. pain also was fighting cautiously and carefully in that fight to test jiraiya, but here he knows his powers and how to nullify them.
pein said he could not have won if he didnt have his secrets
and yet pain was also clueless about jiraiyas abilities. but in this match not anymore.
