Jiraiya doesn't have to get Nagato to absorb chakra directly from his body to turn him to stone. All his justu contains senjutsu chakra, and senjutsu chakra is what Preta absorbed from Naruto. The only difference is Nagato would turn to stone much faster if absorbed directly from his body since he's absorbing pure senjutsu instead of senjutsu mixed with regular chakra. Though this is besides the point, since Nagato has massive chakra reserves that can balance out the senjutsu chakra he absorbs. Not all of his attacks can be absorbed:
-Frog Call.
-Frog Song.
-Ma and Pa's tongues.
-Toad techniques (FCD, Toad Mouth Bind)
-Hair techniques.
Well yeah, obviously I know that, but the only difference is because there is more chakra in Jiraiya's body than there is in his techniques. Has nothing to do with "pure Senjutsu" has there is no such thing. Senjutsu is Nature Energy and Chakra. That's what lies in the body and the techs of SM users.
Then there's the fact that Nagato has to deal with a toad army attacking him at the same time as Jiraiya. Without mobility, he can't evade their attacks so easily like Deva did. This is not a stomp at all.
Are you really using the Toad Army as a driving force in this argument? :lol
Asura never overpowered Jiraiya, unless you are talking about the multiple blindsides. One against weakened one-armed base Jiraiya, and the other against Jiraiya who let his guard down thinking the battle was over.
Yeah, he never did. But he can.
Naraka path? So Jiraiya is going to sit there while Nagato summons the King of Hell and steps inside and gets repaired. Let's get real :lol. Chou Oodama Rasengan obliterates Jigokudo.
What? First of all the King of Hell is summoned an inch away from the user. Jiraiya won't be able to do anything before Nagato steps inside, and once he steps inside he's spit back out and repaired. Jiraiya can foolishly rush at it with a Rasengan if he wants, but then Nagato just steps out, absorbs it and then kills him with Asura Path.
Animal summons are rather useless. Yomi Numa can be used to insta-sink any ground based summon like Cerberus. Sensory barrier detects chamaleon, so invisibility is useless. Three giant toads are more than enough to deal with the far weaker summons, so they don't provide any distractions to Jiraiya when his own summons can take them out. Shared vision has been

in canon.
Not sure if I should take the last sentence seriously considering they needed to blind the other paths and then isolate one of them inside a Toads mouth for that to work. Unless Nagato gets trapped in a Toads mouth, this strategy isn't worth mentioning.
Asura missiles can be blocked by COR or dodged with shunshin.
Blocked by COR? No. The AoE of the missile and lasers far exceeds COR. If he holds it in front of him, he'd pretty much be asking to die a terrible death. Dodged by Shunshin? Sure, unless Nagato uses it from mid to close range. The Speed and the AoE spell Jiraiya's death. [

Strategies Jiraiya can use to win:
-Frog Call paralyzes Nagato, then Gamabunta slices him in half with his sword or squashes him.
Or an Asura Limb forms and blows Gamabunta to smithereens. Or an animal summon (Bird) blocks for him.
-Jiraiya stalls for time until Frog Song is completed.
If only Nagato didn't obliterate him in less than 5 minutes.
-Toad Army overwhelms them. Legit don't see how Nagato deals with them, since he can't evade their attacks, the toads would shrug off Asura missiles, and he can't absorb them.
What in the actual......? Shrug off Asura Paths attacks?

(his attacks themselves are far superior) is enough reason for me not to believe that the toads with zero durability feats "shrug" off these missiles. It's painfully obvious that you are downplaying Nagato's abilities here. Not to mention being unable to move himself around is irrelevant when:
-He can move around like he did in canon, with his chameleon. If Jiraiya tries to destroy it then Nagato can protect it.
-He has Asura Paths jet boosters.
Nagato rapes the whole toad army with a single missile barrage, and then he rapes Jiraiya.
