Pein vs Kages (Individually)

[-6 Paths-]

As the title states, which of the Kage are powerful enough to defeat the Six Paths of Pein?

Conditions

Each Kage has full knowledge of Pein's abilities. They don't need to take out Nagato himself, only the
six bodies. The Six Paths of Pein only know what they might have heard of the Kages' abilities through
rumors, for example:"Minato was the fastest man alive" or "The Third Raikage single-handedly held
off 10,000 shinobi for three days". In other words, basic intel that would have been common knowledge
during the Kages' prime.

Location: Sannin Showdown.
Distance: Fifty meters.
Restrictions: None.​

To clarify, the Kages in question are Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen, Minato, Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, The Third Raikage, Ay, Darui, Mu, Onoki, Kurotsuchi, Gengetsu, Yagura, Mei, Chōjurō, The Third Kazekage, Rasa and Gaara.

All Kages are in their prime, as is Pein.

 

[I'm stupid real stupid]

They beat everybody excepting Hashirama and Naruto

Btw you said Kages are in Prime? So that includes BM Minato and DMS Kakashi as well?

 

[ARGUS]

Hashirama and naruto are the only ones who beat him

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

To clarify, the Kages in question are Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen, Minato, Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, The Third Raikage, Ay, Darui, Mu, Onoki, Kurotsuchi, Gengetsu, Yagura, Mei, Chōjurō, The Third Kazekage, Rasa and Gaara.

Pein defeats without much trouble the following: Kakashi, Hiruzen, Rasa, The Third Kazekage, Mei, Chojuro, Darui, Tsunade.

Pein likely defeats the following with medium difficulties or something close to it: Mu, Onoki, Gengetsu, Third Raikage.

Mu and Oonoki can only depend on Jinton for victory, but both lack the means to actually get it off on Pein. Mu can avoid being thrust down onto a chakra spike by turning invisible, but that only prompts Pein to use his rain sensing technique and then unleashing Asura's missles to pepper him out. Oonoki's best bet is to use clones and doton to distract Pein, but with shared vision and how unimpressive the doton clones are, I don't see how he lasts too long.

Gengetsu is soundly defeated with Asura or Deva clearing the field of mist and then targetting the clam. Joki Boi can be repelled somewhat easily, shinra tensei or the Preta Path defends the group largely. The Mizukage gets his soul taken, in the end. I really only see The Third Raikage being defeated the same way. None of Pein's moves, apart from possibly a larger Shinra Tensei, should do bodily harm to the Raikage. I don't think the Raikage's quick enough to blitz Pein, at least not from this distance. Using the Asura path to restrain The Raikage and trying to take his soul as quickly as possible is really the only option I see available. Possibly a large enough Shinra Tensei, but I'm not sure on that.

Pein either beats or loses to these kages with a display of greater effort: Tobirama, Gaara, Ay, Minato

I'm not sure how Pein would be able to react to FTG. On one hand, from this distance I don't see Pein making the mistake of allowing too many Kunai marked enter his space. But if either does manage to weave in and around the Paths, I don't see anything short of a large scale Shinra Tensei clearing the area of the Kunai. A five second interval isn't short for Tobirama or Minato, at least not with their striking speed and how quickly either can close a gap. Add in shadow clones, and I don't see Pein normally clearing it.

Ay, I'm not too sure how Pein deals with his speed once he gets into close range. V2 should be murder on him, but if he can defeat him in the same method as his father or somehow prevent him from getting too close, I'd give Pein the win. Otherwise I see Paths being taken out with extreme hostility before it comes down to Deva and Ay. Chibaku Tensei's probably the likeliest way he'd win.

Gaara I am mixed on, because I'm not sure how well Pein would do with losing the environment control. With the entire region as a desert, Gaara could literally drag some paths down a few feet and squeeze the life out of them or damage them greatly. It shouldn't take more then a few minutes for Gaara to teraform the entire region, either. With full intel, I see Gaara being able to aim and dismantle the Naraka Path. His defense is good, too. With being able to block Pein's LoS and with sand capable of outlasting missiles or the summonings, I don't really see Pein being able to conventionally defeat Gaara unless he resorts to Chibaku Tensei.

 

[Lariatoo]

He defeat everyone bar Naruto and Hashirama with med high diff but gets stomped by the Asura transmmingrants.

In their prime you mean at their peak power, even if they weren't kage at that time? Because DMS Rikudo Kakashi would lol diff the Six Paths, and BM Minato would stomp them too, while Sharinganless Kakashi wouldn't be able to beat all of them nor would alive Minato (probably, not sure).

 

[Ghost in the Shell]

He loses to Hashirama, Naruto, and Yagura since the databook confirms that he was a perfect jinchūriki.

He beats Kakashi, Tsunade, Hiruzen, Rasa, Darui, Mei, Trollkage, Chōjurō, Ōnoki, Mū, Kurotsuchi, and the 3rd Kazekage without many problems.

He may encounter problems against the Raikages. Banshō Ten'in against either of them would be suicide. Ay cannot continually shunshin and the starting distance isn't exactly adequate for a blitz to happen. I suppose Pain could kill him by resorting to one of his larger scaled Shinra Tensei variants, but it depends on how well he's able to react to Ay's speed and what he does to defend against it. The 3rd Raikage is even more problematic in my opinion since I'm not entirely sure of CST would put someone like him down for good. Pain could try to use Ningendō while he's temporarily incapacitated but if that fails, then the Raikage will most likely kill the paths. Chibaku Tensei is also an option, but 1 fingered Hell Stab is arguably a good counter for it.

Gaara would give Pain trouble with full intel even in this location since he can turn the entire landscape into a desert much quicker than he could in Part 1, and that only took him around a chapter and a half to two chapters or so. It'll take CST or Chibaku Tensei to put him down for good.

I don't think GKF here is viable for Tobirama since Pain is not going to allow him to just waltz by with Hiraishin and tag him with paper bombs however quickly he can do so. Then again Tobirama still has an extremely fast shunshin that he could use to blitz the paths should Tendō catch himself having to use Shinra Tensei. I'll give it to Pain more often than not with the 360 large scale Shinra Tensei. Same principle for golden boy.

 

[Zexion~]

He beats , Tobirama, Hiruzen, Minato, Tsunade, Kakashi, The Third Raikage, Ay, Darui, Mu, Onoki, Kurotsuchi, Gengetsu, Yagura, Mei, Chōjurō, The Third Kazekage, Rasa and Gaara.

 

[EliteKakashi]

I'm going to assume you meant War Arc Kakashi and not DMS, and the issue with him fighting Kakashi with full knowledge is Kakashi has already stated he had developed plans to fight each individual path, and giving him his war arc stamina, he snipes Deva immediately. With Deva out of the way, Kakashi with his war arc reserves(8 raikiri, 5 kamui, 2 shadow clones, doton wall) takes the remaining 5 with mid difficulty, as Deva path is the only one close to War Arc Kakashi's tier. Animal Path could pose some problems, but Raiden/raiton enhanced kunai help deal with the summons.

At absolute worst, he snipes the paths giving him the most trouble(Animal, possibly Preta) and makes it easier on himself.

 

[Transcendence]

Naruto and Hashirama make quick work of Pein. But other than that, no other Kage stands an actual chance. Most lose very easily. Only Muu, Minato, Tobirama and the Sandaime Raikage give him a bit of trouble besides the other stomps.

 

[KCN]

So Pain has basically no knowledge on Minato while Minato knows all about him? Pain gets whacked.

Hashirama and Naruto win. As does Tobirama.

So what if he has full Intel? How can he harm Pain?

How can he not? A much slower Naruto exploited Pain's 5 second interval by tossing himself with a clone. Minato can close the distance much more effectively and kill them off one by one. Preta is useless due to Minato's lack of ranged ninjutsu and in terms of offense only Deva is worth a damn hee. Minato would know Deva is the most important Pain so he'd start with him. His lack of knowledge on FTG would make him susceptible to an instant blitz.

Pain can hide in his Chameleon and use Shinra Tensei. Or he could pull Minato towards him and stab him with a Rod. And how does Minato survive against Village Busting Shinra Tensei or Chibaku Tensei

Minato's a sensor. Shinra tensei would work once or twice, but Minato's speed and constant access to teleportation would make it very difficult, and eventually unlikely for Pain to catch Minato in it. Remember, your stipulation requires he instantly knows how fast and deadly Minato is, which is not the case as he's only heard rumours meaning Pain isn't likely to just hide off the bat. Out of character, and illogical.

He can't. But those techniques are out of character for one man and I don't see him executing those techniques before Minato takes Deva out. Minato escapes Bansho Teni'in by simply teleporting to a Kunai.

That's true. But you said Minato escapes BT with a Kunai? How can he reach into his pouch and a grab a Kuani when he is pulled at great force?

Yep. Of course the same applies to Tobirama.
