Itachi & Kisame vs Jiriya-What would have happened?

I'm fairly certain that that statement came from his Sanin rep more than anything. And it doesn't help that the meaning of the statement has changed since the revelation of Itachi's hidden alliance.

Though what indicates that he is stronger than Kisame out of Sage Mode? Out of curiosity?

Only Itachi and Kisame knew another Sannin. Orochimaru. Who got punked by Itachi.

Lulz.

I was including Sage Mode. Why wouldn't I?

Okay, I was right: Jiraiya is absurdly strong, just like Naruto, when in Sage Mode.

http://www.mangareader.net/93-380-14/naruto/chapter-375.html

I would agree that Naruto is faster at this point in the manga. But it used to take him a while. Jiraiya could also do it while moving about on a giant toad...

So I would say in some regards, Jiraiya is still better at going into Sage Mode.

To answer your question, AA, Jiraiya uses Ma and Pa to stay in sage mode. Naruto uses an (off the battle field) shadow clone to gather the sage chakra. So in that regard, Naruto is worse and better at the same time. Remember, Naruto could not fuse with Ma or Pa because of the Kyuubi Chakra: it would not allow them to fuse.

So Naruto had to figure out another way: use an off the battle field shadow clone to gather.

So, yes, Jiraiya is slower at entering sage mode...but he's better at actually entering it because he can gather while staying on the head of a giant hopping toad. He can also create a barrier while on the toad hopping about...while trying to enter sage mode.

Ridiculous.

Jiraiya is better than I gave him credit for, really.

Replaced the statement with an equally true one. 😛

You mentioned the Mode after the statement, making me think you meant his base feats had better strength feats than Kisame.

But since his Sage Mode takes time apparently, I think Itachi and Kisame can get him before he enters it.

Edit: And I wouldn't say he is better at entering Sage Mode than Naruto. Naruto can do it in a few seconds.

In the past that was true. Not anymore. Is there any doubt that Jiraiya could not beat Orochimaru now?

Notably, unlike Oro, who was more or less beaten by Four Tails Kyuubi Naruto, Jiraiya actually subdued it.

I'm tired, shut up.

Kisame is probably stronger than base Jiraiya.

I guess it's a good thing Jiraiya has several large scale jutsu to put distance between them, like big ass quicksand swamp shit, and toad jutsus of awesome.

I would.

And I say that it takes a bit longer than a few seconds. Quite a bit of dialogue and action takes place when Naruto says he's going to do it and when he actually emerges from Sage Mode. I would say Naruto is a few seconds faster...but he is still not "fast".

Guessing (I could use the anime) but it takes Jiraiya a minute.

It takes Naruto 20 seconds.

Si. For moi anyway.

Jiraiya also had the key to Naruto's seal with him, something Orochimaru lacks. He likely stopped him using that or a seal he had prepared ahead of time.

I dunno. I think Jiraiya could do some oil stuff and blind Kisame from seeing him in the water. I don't know why I think that would work...I just have this feeling. 😐

😆

There's also the massive concussive forces he can create with his sage-mode punches. Water wouldn't slow down one of the physical strongest characters: he can easily kick giant beasts through what looks like 50 feet of rock, concrete, and metal. That's DBZ sh*t, yo.

I tend not to give your opinions much credit though.

Orochimaru was able to stop a weaker Kyuubi Naruto with the same seal nonsense earlier, did he not? O: And speculation. estahuh

With Sage Mode Jiraiya is stronger, faster, and more durable (Arguably, on this last one, admittedly) than Orochimaru, with better Genjutsu as well. Oro's only advantage is versatility.

But that's irrelevant to this thread, so stfu.

And nah.

The toad throat rendered Kisame utterly impotent. Itachi had to bail him out of that one.

jiraya had that shadow hiding thing remember?

He could also insta-react and counter Konan's paper shuriken like it ain't no thang.

His reactions are top-notch: among the best in the manga.

Unless, of course, you believe like I do, that Konan's paper shuriken are not very fast compared to other fast projectile attacks.

Jiraiya's speed rating in the databooks is 4.5.

So he really is rather fast 🙂

Slower than Itachi, faster than Kisame in base.

We don't have anything that indicates them being any slower.

Had Itachi and Kisame decided to fight Jiriya right then and there how would they have done???

They would have lost if they fought him there since Itachi was tired, and they were trapped in that Toad's oesophagus.

Otherwise, Itachi would beat him.

Yeah, I think the oth of them would be too much for even Jiraiya to handle. I'd actually argue that Itachi would take Jiraiya out alone.

Kisame would loose most likely but with Itachi they would pull through. I do wonder if Kisame could've drowned the toad thing with his lake dome jutsu.

I answered already: He thought his eye was enough to make himself immune to Itachi's sharingan.

It wasn't that he thought his genjutsu was greater...he just thought his Sharingan made him immune.

And he looked because he thought his eye was immune (true...for the most part...but not against someone who had mastered the eye much further than a 3-tomoe user) and the eye offers an awesome precog ability. Seems fairly reasonible if you consider that Kakashi was not aware of the MS at the time. Or at least not aware that Itachi had an MS.

Even if he was 100% immune, there was nothing to gain from making eye contact; the best case scenario is nothing happens (and he would have been just as well off looking elsewhere).

Note that when Sasuke broke Itachi's tsukuyomi, Itachi fell to his knees and seemed worse effected than Sasuke was.

So there can be beneficial backlash to breaking your opponent's genjutsu.

Its also completely wrong that only the MS could overcome the regular sharingan. Itachi used mundane genjutsu to entrance Sasuke many a time. Kakashi is clueless.

For this assumption, Kakashi would need to think Itachi knew less about the Sharingan than he did. That Kakashi knew "Sharingan can't entrance other sharingan", and somehow, he thought Itachi was ignorant of this fact.

He probably thought because of this fact, Itachi wouldn't try, so there was no reason to avoid eye contact and not keep an eye on where Itachi was looking.

And/or he hoped Itachi'd make a "mistake," which he didn't.

You don't need to look someone in the eye to use precog.

But you look people in the eyes when you talk to them. Since Kakashi thought he was immune, it makes far less sense for him to NOT look than it does for him to not look at them.

There was no reason, at that point, for anyone, including the reader, to assume he wasn't immune especially because Kakashi stated it. It was a surprise to everyone.

You're using hindsight to make your conclusions (pun intended). Before that exchange, did you even know that they should not look until Kakashi brought it up? The answer is: no. You did not know, nor did anyone, that looking into the Sharingan would make you more susceptible to a genjutsu. It was Kakashi that revealed that tidbit to us and it was also the same person that revealed having the Sharingan makes one immune.

We then found out a few short moments later that the MS gentjusu techniques are much stronger than the regular genjutsu techs and can overpower even a sharingan having eye.

So here's what you're suggesting: Kakashi awkwardly doesn't look at two people approaching when talking to them for no reason at all. When not observing their person could result in him missing a hand sign or something similar. He has everything to lose by NOT looking at them and everything to gain...based on the knowledge that we all had at the point of confrontation.

In hindsight, we can see that looking at him is bad...but not at that point in time. Nor could Kakashi see that. Your argument is invalid.

"Just look at their feat like Guy did" right? That will be your response in most ways. Why? Now Guy can't see hand signs.

Kakashi would not have been able to copy hand signs if he didn't look up high enough to see them...making his precog fail.

Let's not forget how Guy knew how to fight sharingan: By practicing with Kakashi. So Kakashi is someone who tries for eye contact according to Guy. Here it was simply a case of sharingan vs sharingan, who is better with it. And the answer was Itachi.

I think his hand signs are what adds to his high rating. I think in a foot race, Jiraiya is faster in Sage Mode...and easily.

Except that a 4.5 reacted, at point blank, to them and countered them at the same time.

Where are Konan's stats?

I want those.

😐

Also, if we get another databook that gives us their stats, will you adjust your rankings based on the databook stats?

Meaning, if someone is stronger in A rank and should be in the S rank, will you bump them up?

I ask because there may be some ranked a tad too high or a tad too low.

What do you think?
