Surely Jiraiya was in his prime when he fought Pain the first time?
Old man perv....naah. Would he have escaped with the info in prime, he almost escaped but he went back, jiraiya prime would have had better memory of those people and recognised the faces sooner.
Jiraya would still lose nothing he can do about CT.
No, that was his prime.
Jiraiya was 54 he was way out of his prime. Tsunade back when she fought kabuto. Even indirectly implied that being in your 50's means your not in your prime
I said would he escape not win lol...
