I used the search button and was unable to find a thread like this, so yes. At first glance Pain's victory may seem obvious, but after considering it properly I think this would be an interesting battle. Of course we're talking about a healthy Orochimaru like the one that fought Naruto. Since he can undo nearly every kind of physical damage done to his body by skinning himself he would be tough to kill. In addition his snake-attacks can't be absorbed since they're based on Kuchyose. He's able to summon bigger snakes to protect himself (like the one Sasuke used against Deidara), on top of that he can summon at least four huge snakes (Manda and the three big ones with the scarfs, he (Otogakure) used to attack Konoha), and two slighty smaller ones - the ones he used at the Chunin exams. Furthermore he's in possession of Kusanagi ( which can be extended to at least 100 meters) and can in worst case transform himself into Yamata no Oroichi or the white snake, the form he used to fight Sasuke. I also see several ways for him to avoid Chibaku Tensei. Pain's incredible power should be known to everyone, so I don't see any need to mention it. I didn't made up my mind about it entirely yet, but at least I think there's a chance that Orochimaru could win this. So, how high or low do you rate his chance of victory? To cover every oppinion you'll have plenty of options to choose from in the poll. :b
Oh, I see that I made a mistake in the poll. Replace Pain with Orochimaru in the option 'Pain would crush him like.. six flys'. It's supposed to be 'Orochimaru would crush him like.. six flys'.
One more edit; I see that many of you are talking about Nagato. I'm talking about the six paths of Pain, not Nagato in person. It doesn't matter (for the time being) if Orochimaru could find & defeat Nagato's real body.
