U_U I am a shame at all of you who responded underestimated Jiriaya.
Why? Because lets not forget he could have escape if he really wanted to but he told his sensai ma and pa "No" he wanted to find out the secret of pein. The fact that he gave pein a run for his money who i must say is the second strongest Akasuki memeber after tobi, just completely dismiss the others.
And yes i am going to say it, Kabuto was a noob when he try to control nagato because really no one can bring out a person full potential other than the person them self. Nagato>Itachi idc who wants to cry about it.
Itachi vs Jiriaya i won't speak about because Kishi already stated in his "own" manga not fan imaginations that if these two were to fight, they would both lose if not hurt each other severely.
( really doesn't matter what we learn of Itachi since then because we can only think that he had both the sword and mirror at that time) And honestly if Itachi vs Nagato 1v1, nagato would have came out on top, regardless of itachi new MS ability because i really don't see this working if nagato fights with path. ( seeing how he hides somewhere) but if this is prime nagato i think itachi would still lose.
If anyone choose to copy and paste from old chapters of bee naruo and itachi vsing nagato, my responces would be this. ---> wow 3 on 1 so he sat back and wait till nagato was distracted by 2 then he makes move, and honestly would have never destroyed the planetary without the help of tail beast bomb. let alone prime nagato spam meteor.
