yall wanna throw away context to give jiraiya fake hype... first of all he was trying to avoid capruting naruto and fighting/killing jiraiya
Second he used his MS three times already when faced jiraiya, he was tired and sweating so even if he fought jiraiya it wouldnt be at 100%
and lastl, if u think itachi really stare diffs orochimaru there is no way in hell u think Jiraiya can defeat him.
Obviously It isn't a stare diff im trolling
But I don't like
@TheAncientCenturion argument of Orochimaru and his hands when he was ducking itachi with his hands intact.
And even statements in the manga say that Orochimaru couldn't even approach itachi its why he went after sasuke in the first place.
While Itachi himself says that jiraya and himself are able to kill each other
I think Itachi wins but its high-extreme diff
To me it seems Jiraya>Orochimaru is obvious unless you wanna ignore the reason Orochimaru is obsessed with sasuke for the whole of part 1
But I guess I can see arguments for Orochimaru being stronger
