Jiraiya vs. Kabuto(maru)

The white-haired old guy who can take on two Akatsuki vs. The white-haired young guy who can take on two former Akatsuki.

Round 1: Base Modes only. Summons are allowed, but Kabuto cannot use Edo Tensei Summons.

Round 2: Combatants are in Sage Mode for the fight, and it is infinite.
Summons are not allowed for this round, but Fukasaku & Shima are allowed. They can only use their genjutsu though.

Fight takes place on the underbelly of the Island Turtle.

Round 1-Tie.
Round 2-Kabuto but not by alot.

Kabuto also beat Tsunade.

But as buff as Kubuto was, I can't see him even beating an full strength Orochimaru, and IMO Jiraiya is > Oro.

Um no the only reason kabuto even remotly put up a fight against tsunade is because
-He had pills boosting him
-He had knowledge on her weaknesses
-She is 50
And he still would have lost if it were not for the blood!

But he wasn't expecting to face her, was he?

So wouldn't that fall under "standard gear"?

Sennin mode is > pill amping anyways, and even the specific knowledge he had should apply here, because he's constantly updating his database.

Kabuto should win the first.

Second is tricky as while Kabuto is probably faster, Jiraiya has better strength feats. Much tougher to decide.

If only because of Manda V2. For some reason, I had forgotten about him. mmm

Jiraiya may be stronger and have a higher damage output, but Kabuto does have a pretty overpowered ninjutsu in White Rage. He is also pretty damn hard to hurt thanks to his durability, regen, and liquid body.

Don't forget the Frog Call.

Sage mode for Jiraiya includes Ma and Pa, right? They came part and parcel with his SM in the manga, and the Op didn't specifically say not to include them..

Round 1-kabuto summons Manda V2
Round 2-Kabuto mid-high difficulty

Kabuto's 'sound and light' snake seems like it'd be a good counter for the frog song, though.

And Kabuto's really hard to put down, between liquidness and regen.

I vote for the guy who can fight with his eyes closed 🙂 But in all seriousness I'd see the following turning out.

1. Kauto due to Manda V2 being better than pretty much anything in Jiraiya's arsenal of summons. Then again Jiraiya has more offensive ninjutsu to use.

2. Still Kabuto due to him having a pretty uber regen and a genjutsu that's more convinient than frog song. Though Jiraiya's power output increases significantly so it will be a hard earned victory.

No worries. Yeah, they're allowed the Frog Song genjutsu, but not that tech where they blast sonic waves out of their mouth, which is Frog Call.

1. Jiraiya's summons would be ants compared to Manda V2, but Jiraiya could possibly take it out.

Is it fair that he literally got prep on her weaknesses? But you cannot deny kabuto was not stronger then tsunade then it was just a mixture of cheating and an ill prepared 50 yr old woman who was no doubt stronger once she showed her regen jutsu.

It seems like it would be good battles, but there are handicaps going on in both matches...🙁

However:

I think Jiraiya could take the first match

While Kabuto would in all likelyhood take the second match

Good battle. I think Kabuto can win the second one, his sage mode was pretty powerful and regen was broken. But Jiraya may take some since he can actually go for the kill and has frog song. It all depends in whether or not Kabuto can block the song.

^his liquid form won't be able to ignore frog song...however the song takes awhile before it kicks in, so he might be able to disrupt it.

Jiraiya can defeat the entirety of Akatsuki in a fight, according to Itachi.

One member of Akatsuki and a pseudo-Akatsuki beat Kabuto.

Jiraiya clearly stomps.
