Kakuzu

Alright to start my opener i'll simply post some basic (and some not basic) Counters to SM Jiraiya's Feats, ..If base Jiraiya's feats are included, i'll counter them in a separate post, along with summons.
Ultra Big Ball Rasengan
As are most of Jiraiya's arsenal this move was barely used at all and doesn't have much in terms of info.. However when i look back at it, it seems like its much larger than i thought...Although i still believe Domu could take this down, as it was able to tank an attack that was able to reduce a large building to rubble without much difficulty

Is there any concrete proof that he used Domu? No...However he was clearly in the blast range and unlike Hidan he couldn't get behind a rock in time

, as he had just taken an attack that pushed him into the ground, seconds before

which BTW he also tanked. Domu is at times underrated (while it can be overrated as well) However thinking a Rasengan that barely scratched a V2 Susano'o

is going to completely render Kakuzu helpless is simply not true, especially seeing that imo Kakuzu's doton roughly has the same defense capabilities as a V1-V2 Susano'o. However, i understand this was Madara's Susano'o, hence why i said Completely kill Kakuzu U_U,
HOWEVER Even if such a move did hit, you have to realize that it simply is not doing damage to Kakuzu, as you can see Kakuzu's body is made completely and entirely out of threads

No internal organs, or anything, the only way to really wound or damage him, is to damage one of his hearts, Notice that even with suffering a wound such as

, he was still able to fight on...Almost immediately

, yes he lost a heart but the fact that he could continue fighting after getting a hole obliterated through his chest, that mind you also should of ran straight through his lungs...(had he had any) and a few bones proves that the only thing that actually does damage to Kakuzu, is that of wounds to the heart.... i mean lets face it the lesser form couldn't even physically dent a normal Human

It simply deals explosive damage, and blunt force as well.....I understand that this is ULTRA big Rasengan, but the only difference here is that nature energy is added to the Rasengan to make it larger and have a bigger explosion effect (Says the Wiki at least, i don't have access to the DB, if you do and the entry proves me wrong by all means post it)....
Sage Art Goamon
Now this is a technique i know for a fact Domu can tank, as it is a technique that burns, and clearly domu has a perfectly fine time dealing with things that would normally burn the human skin

The friction caused by the rapid spinning chouji should of burnt and singed the opponent (note the smoke), however Kakuzu came out unscathed
However if you truly don't believe that Domu could tank this, then he has other counters as well,
His

is the first,

As the Data Book says, its a jutsu that utilizes extreme air pressure and explosive force to crush enemies while blowing back the surroundings...There is no doubt in my mind if this was fired off at the same time as the Goamon, it would disperse the molten liquid, by either condensing it halting its advance towards Kakuzu, or by simply blowing it all away, However again i'll provide a secondary counter, its rather simple really, since this jutsu is classified as using Wind and Fire natures (Goamon) it should be nullified if Kakuzu simultaneously fired off his Katon+Fuuton jutsu, which has shown no problem busting through liquids

So not only will it halt this jutsu but it may even break through it.....However don't let that scan fool you its size can be much greater than that

Note that before it could even fully culminate it was already bigger than tree's that towered over humans.
Hair Needle Senbon
This really isn't even a problem, Domu tanks it effortlessly, as its merely hardened hair...However if you think that for someone reason its speed is going to catch Kakuzu off guard you are truly mistaken seeing as how the animal summon could clearly perform a summon before it even reached him

, and Kakuzu's reactions are nothing to be scoffed at, he was able to react to a ambush by Kakashi with his fastest Technique raikiri, which we all know speeds up the user,
notice how Domu was active

or even avoid/use domu, against a close range attack that he could barely see coming, if at all until the last moment

And Finally, one of the most overrated techniques in the NV...
Frog Song
Seriously people act as though this technique isn't easily countered by almost everyone in the NV, for multiple reasons, first please realize the time it actually takes for the opponent to be put into this genjutsu, Not going to scan you it all, as it took a good 1 1/2 chapters, :|, Then please note that the opponent basically knows right away that the sound leads to a genjutsu
You must be registered for see links
, Another reason this is rather useless is that it travels on sound, which means basically all you need to do is keep a distance where you can't hear, it which is not that hard, the reason Pain did not do this was because they were in a sewer with pipes scattered throughout, amplifying the sound. So basically this can be countered quite easily, as you probably know Kakuzu's hearts have the ability to fly

Another commonly known fact is that Kakuzu has the ability to merge with said hearts
You must be registered for see links
Now the fact that he can fully merge with them, basically guarantee's the fact the he can partly merge with them as well , them being made out of threads as well also cements this, as Kakuzu could simply attach threads spawning form his body
You must be registered for see links
, to them ...
Similar to how these to merged together

Once this is complete Kakuzu could then take off, into the air high enough so that the sound would be rendered useless, as we all know the higher you elevate the more air pressure you are entering, meaning that you won't be able to hear anything from down below... Would they be going slower? Yes however as i said the jutsu takes ridiculously long to actually initiate, so this isn't a problem, now once he does this two other hearts are still free, to swoop down and bombard Jiraiya with jutsu, as they don't have ears so the genjutsu isn't working on them....
Another counter to this, is again his quite handy Fuuton. As i've shown earlier, the jutsu causes that of extreme pressure to be applied, and as i just went over extreme pressure usually causes sounds, meaning the Vibrations from the frog sond, would be lost.... IF you don't want to believe that just look at the emphasis of the SFX in the manga scan
You must be registered for see links
out of the 600 something chapters, this may be the largest in the manga, to date....Not only would this cancel out any vibrations coming to Kakuzu it would also force Jiraiya to move back, as to not get his with the jutsu itself....
Anyways that's all i really wanted to point out in my opener, will make an argument for how Kakuzu wins in my next post
