- Did he even used the gates during part 2? ._. That's a hint that maybe he's not that uncounterable while using them.
He did when he proved that he was faster than Kamui.
By the way, still waiting on those links that prove Jiraiya has the speed to launch an attack anywhere near as fast as Kamui.
He doesn't need to possess similar speed, speed determines who wins a race, not a battle. Lee is faster than Gaara, but still lost.
Gaara had sand armor, a defense that could withstand Lee's attacks for the duration of the match. Jiraiya does not have such a defense.
- Orochimaru is faster than Tsunade, still got pawned...
Oro had sealed, unusable arms. That had an effect on his ability to fight. Whereas Tsunade has regeneration, which Jiraiya doesn't. Nevermind the fact that he still slashed up Tsunade pretty badly, and only got hit once. Not sure how that counts as being "pawned".
There's a reason why Jiraiya was considered for Hokage and Lee is still a Chunin. They're simply not on the same level. Realistically, could you imagine Lee taking out an S-level opponent, say, Onoki, simply because he's faster?
This is irrelevant. Naruto is still a Genin and would take out 99% of the Narutoverse. What feats does Jiraiya have that imply he can react sufficiently to, and track Lee's speed?
- - The whole point of her fighting the Raikage was to let Naruto go to war (

). He and Bee would've moved on to the battlefield while she would stay back to confront the Raikage and stop him from killing the Jinchuuriki.
That may have been her intent, but there is nothing implying that she could really stop the Raikage from going after Bee and Naruto if he wanted to. This doesn't say anything about her actually being fast enough to stop A.
- Yet, here is Naruto being kicked by weaker Jinchuuriki with lower forms (

The jinchuriki are not slowpokes and were able to overwhelm Naruto with numbers.
As for the Obito scene, Obito himself is not slow by any stretch of the imagination either, seeing that he was able to keep up with Minato. Whereas Naruto had his movements severely hampered by the coral on his back.
The Raikage was keeping up just fine (

Naruto admits that the Third Raikage is around A's speed, who he struggled to get past for a while before finally coming out on top in terms of speed. Of course he would have some difficulty landing a hit on him.
- Here is Madara calmly parrying Naruto's attack while he was enraged (

).
Its still possible to hit, react, counter attack faster opponents.
Naruto was free-falling from the sky in that instance. He was not using his speed (he probably thought he didn't have to. He doesn't know Madara can counter mini-Bijuudamas).
Nevermind the fact that Jiraiya has not shown himself to be anywhere as fast as Naruto or any of the fast persons he faced.
- - You proved the attack hit, not that Kisame couldn't react. If you're talking about 6th gate Gai blitzing Kisame's clone, that hold's no weight because the real Kisame was keeping up with 7th gate Gai the whole time.
7th Gate Guy literally only used Hirudora and

, the second of which Kisame could not react to in the slightest. That is not "keeping up", especially when Guy was underwater in the first instance, did not move anywhere, and was more focused on finding a scroll than blitzing Kisame.
- He wanted to incapacitate Kisame, a blitz would've been great for that effect, he just couldn't pull it off w/o Kisame counter attacking first.
He wanted to get the scroll first.

. Blitzing Kisame at that point would have been useless as he still wouldn't get the scroll.
- He can be outsmarted into falling onto Jiraiya's pool of mud if he's too focused on avoiding a Katon and doesn't pay enough attention to his surroundings.
Where is Jiraiya getting the speed to use Yomi Numa in such a way that it catches Lee after he dodges a Katon? How is he tracking Gated Lee's movements so well that he can lead him to a trap? If Lee dodges a Katon he's going to go straight for Jiraiya and attack him before he uses seals for another jutsu, or run around him and attack him from behind.
