So I give Jiraiya the win, but with high difficulty. I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Not only would Kakashi have to deal with Kakuzu who was beating him in taijutsu and speed but he'd have to deal with his five hearts which Kakashi would not be able to do as he was running from them the whole time and didn't even get one. So although he had to multi-task, it would not change that he would've lost either way.

But on topic. Jiraiya has his fair share of ninjutsu although Kakuzu has more, Jiraiya's can be senjutsu enhanced but Kakuzu's are powerful already. Kakuzu has better taijutsu and speed than Jiraiya but in Sage Mode his danger perception can definitely help him. Jiraiya has the summonings to deal with the masks too but those masks can conjure up some powerful combination jutsus but so can Jiraiya with Shima and Fukusaku. This would definitely make for an interesting battle. I think it could either way.
