Bonus question:
Would Naruto have it easier against Edo Nagato instead of the Pain paths ? (Yes I know he battled Edo Nagato already) but the question still stands...
Fair enough, hehhow does the question still stands. you answered your own question. you saw what happened, how would input from others change what happened in that fight? Naruto got stomped, B got stomped, so jiraiya would have gotten stomped as well. I thought it was obvious that nagato > pain, especially after that display.
