Yea but I don't see that happening. If it was all 6 from the beginning, im pretty sure jiraiya would have been stomped. The only reason he had time to prep sage mode was because it was only the animal paths in the beginning. If it was all 6, jiraiya would have to contend with chibaku tensi, shinra tensi, bansho tenin, missle, and rocket launchers, mechanized limbs,  as well as soul rip. Pain wouldn't give him the time to escape like he did because bansho tenin would stop that.on top of that, the frogs take time to prep the song. With all 6, I dont see jiraiya pulling it off as great as he is. Even against just 3, his taijutsu and ninjutsuu were very ineffective, which is why he needed to use genjustu in the first place
