I wouldn't say Jiraiya easily gets destroyed by a single combination. He definitely loses here with no prep time. But this is Jiraiya, who took out multiple Pein's with no knowledge. Something none of these Shinobi could of done except maybe Gai (if he isn't unfortunate enough to go against Shinra). His intelligence is definitely on par with Kakashi if not greater, in my opinion. However, he still loses. These are all A-S Class Shinobi vs one S Class Shinobi at Hokage caliber. Kakashi is also Hokage caliber and thus so is Gai in the physical department. Therefore, through quantity Jiraiya loses since the quality is pretty balanced here. He loses at mid to high difficulty. I still don't think this group could take on the Peins with Gai restricted, so I see Jiraiya taking a few of them with him.

But if Jiraiya starts in Sage Mode, he lasts longer. But unless he can get off summons like he did against Pein, he isn't winning even still. He might be able to match Gai's second gate with his Sage Mode, but he's still overwhelmed by them. I can give Jiraiya a victory if he can manage to summon a giant toad and the two sage toads.
