Asuma and Kakashi vs Jiraiya

[Selan]

Not seeing how a Jiraiya restricted from Sage Mode has any chance whatsoever. Kakashi takes this alone.

Kakashi decimates Jiraiya in Taijutsu thanks to Sharingan precognition, superior speed, and the ability to manifest Bijuu-piercing electricity on his palm at moments notice. Jiraiya is susceptible to Sharingan Genjutsu as are any summons he brings out. Ninjutsu battles will always end in Kakashi's favor; Yomi Numa can be nullified with Raiton and copied with Sharingan (Kakashi is compatible with Doton element) and Kakashi can then use Yomi Numa against Jiraiya (which will be problematic since Jiraiya cannot counter it due to lack of Raiton). Any of Jiraiya's small scale Katons are casually countered by Suiton. Kakashi is better than Jiraiya at literally everything that isn't stamina, and the match won't come to that.

This is without factoring in Kakashi's tactical edge here; Doton tunneling and Bunshin feints have been effective against everyone he has faced, and Jiraiya shouldn't be an exception. And you're giving him Asuma as backup too? The Jonin take this without any trouble whatsoever.

Great post, I agree. Kakashi is too fast for Jiraiya and has Sharingan precognition and unblockable Raiton CQC attacks, like Raikiri, Raiden and Raikiri infused kunai. He is better in bushinjutsu and can use Raiton Kage Bunshin too. His Sharingan genjutsu can stomp Jiraiya. Kakashi is also a lot smarter, with elemental advantage, and can easily dodge everything that Jiraiya's summons can try to do with superior speed and agility. Chopping their limbs with Raiden would be a joke for a man who fought Bijuu.
