@killman, not really. You basically gave jiraiya the advantage of prep and then discredited naruto for having prep. Sounds biased. Naruto prepped shadow clones before hand because he doesn't have access to jiraiya's form of prep due to the nine tails. So if anything, naruto was the one who had more of a disadvantage. Having a summoning contract in itself is prep, jiraiya had with the sage frogs while naruto needed extra shadow clones to replicate a continous flow of nature energy to maintain sage mode. This time jiraiya starts off in and has infinite sage mode while naruto doesnt and has to use extra stamina to utilize sage mode properly, and naruto still proved a better match for pain. @Shishihewa, oh so do I also have to spoon feed you panels on what chakra is too? There are more than enough panels and a wiki articles on it http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra Like I said naruto was the only person who could do the massive shadow clone training because of his maasive chakra reserves. Jiraiya doesn't have the same chakra reverves as naruto, he has less, this is fact. I don't care that jiraiya has a 5 stamina, next you will say he has more chakra reserves than nagato and hashirama. Like I said chakra control=/= chakra reserves. Naruto needed extra chakra from the nine tails because he had poor chakra control. Naruto can make 100s of clones because his reserves are that big to split up up his chakra. Like I said shadow clones are an even split of one's chakra it doesn't take chakra control. That's why naruto's clones were piss weak early on and died to a feather. And naruto's intelligence was respected by multiple characters and was compared to shikamaru, so go and find the 1 in intelligence for shikamaru too. And while your at it, have fun explaining how naruto outsmarted pain with that one in intelligence too.
