A lot of posters (mainly Tsunade and Orochimaru fans) are under the delusion that the Sannin are equal in power, simple because of that title...Are you guys being serious? lol
Sannin title- It was given to them by a guy who beat the crap out of them (Hanzo) and they were much younger back then.
The Sannin title is nothing special these days...for example
Let's say Tobi beats the crap out of Kakashi and Gai...Tobi: I NOW NAME YOU SANNIN V2 FOR LASTING THIS LONG!
Get it? Lol.
On to the Sannin's abilities, going by feats, Jiraiya is the strongest, that's not even up for debate.
Yeah, Orochimaru has edo tensei and the most potential, but let's face facts, his feats are inferior to that of Jiraiya's, maybe he is Jiraiya's equal, but does he have the feats to back that up? No he doesn't. Before someone brings up holding his own against 4 tailed naruto let's not forget even kakashi and gai were holding their own against multiple v2 jins.
Tsunade- Tsunade fans like to ignore the fact that a part 1 Kabuto who is not skilled in taijutsu managed to tag and react to her without a lot of difficulties. Now maybe you guys get mad I'm not saying Tsunade is weaker than him lol no but she isn't fast by any means, at least compared to faster characters like Gai, Sasuke, Kakashi etc etc
Tsunade isn't slow, but she is certainly not fast enough. Her attacks are linear and easy to dodge if you have some decent speed, as evidenced by the manga. She is not very versatile and her fighting style is boring.

now, i'm not hating on Tsunade, she's a great ninja overall, she excels in other areas like healing, but when it comes to combat even the likes of Gai /Kakashi/Kakuzu/Kisame are far superior than her. She also has a lot of chakra and great healing abilities which is why she's lasted this long against Madara's clone who have been toying with them.
Last point, there is no such thing as "Sannin level" since the Sannin are not equal in overall power until proven otherwise.
