But by Pain's admission, if he had intel on them to begin with, he'd have won. Naruto and Sasuke were discovering all of Jigen's abilities AS they were fighting him, and were coming up with small strategies on the fly. They tried to use Susanoo and the big Kurama form because that worked against the last Ootsutsuki they faced. Had they known all of Jigen's powers prior, the fight would've gone differently, or at least they wouldn't have gone down as quickly. My bet on that comment over Pain was that had Jiraya actually knew that Pain's original body was weak and was hidden inside the city he would go for it rather than fight the puppets, he made a good get away from Pain and summons for a couple of times, so he only needs to slip away and manage to find the real pain. Just like Naruto figured out Pain's real hideout, had he figured it out earlier, he could have gone for it, albiet those Pains would try to stop him, but the situations kind of will be switched with Pain on the edge. Plus, Pain protected the City so he wouldn't want Jiraya going around destroying buildings until he found the real Pain.

On the battle though, I can't really grasp on how fast Naruto and Sasuke are losing chakra. In Sasuke's case, I guess he did travel a few dimensions for a few rounds, but why didn't Naruto just cloaked him up? Wouldn't that have helped him in literally everything?

Jigen's way of dealing things is actually funny to be honest, brilliant but funny lol. He captured Naruto and then proceeded to leave in another dimension, thus winning the fight by default lol.

Maybe this time, in this fight, those Kages could have actually been useful, or rather Gaara and some other three top ninjas like Lee, Sakura and I don't know, Shikamaru? Probably would have turned the fight around. Yeah, I know, Sasuke didn't have the time or the Chakra, but again, why doesn't Naruto ever cloak or anyone else anymore? It could have been quite useful if he did earlier on with the kids too, protection and double the power.

Wait, I think the cloak could get absorbed? But would it not work on the same principle that Naruto's own cloak could get asborbed? Or am I missing something? Cloak or not, Naruto could have had a clone power Sasuke up rounds. It was the ameno that actually was gaining them some dust on Jigen. Everything else was smooth for him to deal with.
