You know, i've been thinking, if Pain attacked Jiraiya from the beggining with all 6 bodies he would have lost. Because if he caught all 6 bodies in that frog genjutsu, then they would be able to be revived.
Too true main its like this, Jiraiya is well known for his versitilty in jutsu and even Pain was not sure of all his techniques except the fact that Jiraiya doesn't use genjutsu or so he thought. Pain coming out wit all six paths would of been disaterous either way you look at it Pain could go all out and put some gangsta justsu on Jiraiya reletively quick wit six different types of justu or attacks. Or Jiraiya could of placed a summoning barrier on them and sealed them in the frog and killed them. The fight would be terribly sick that way not that it wasn't but this would demonstrate the strength of bot culprates in gargantuant proportions.That's why Pain was only using 3 bodies at the beginning. He's smart, he knew JIraya was strong, and that he most probaly would have lost without keeping his secret. Because he knew Jiraya could have a badass jutsu![]()
WTF??jiraiya was tested but not struggling much
