1) Onoki was stated to be too old and was about to retire. He wasn't close to his prime. His back hurt in almost every fight and interfered with his fights, proving his body was weaker than it was when he was younger. Mentioning him made no sense.

2) Hanzo was also not in his prime. This was actually stated. He was shown to have allowed his skills and abilities rust over the years. Even Mifune said, he was a rusted blade cause how he didn't keep up with training. Pein did as well. So your point about Mifune beating an old, rusted Hanzo is mute.

3) Jiraiya is the only point you made that actually makes some sense. He could have been at his prime. But nothing suggests that he was stronger at 50 than he was at 40 or 30. Until it's stated, it isn't true. Your word is not the law. The series word is law.
