The setting is the same as Jiraiya's last fight with Pain.

I've asked around, the general consensus seems to be that ♫ anything Jiraiya can do, Koji can do better ♫

Jiraiya lost against Pain because he didn't know his secret.

How would Koji have fared?

Pain has SOME intel on Koji's techniques (like he did vs Jiraiya) and Koji has no intel on Pain aside from the general myth knowledge about the legendary Rinnegan.

The order of the Paths he fights is the same as it was vs Jiraiya, so first Konan, then 3 Paths, then all 6. And for good measure, let's say Konan can step in at any time for support.

Does Koji come out on top? Or is the Six Paths secret just too strong for any newcomer?
