Yes it does. But Nagato was a cripple skeleton controlling corpses. Edo Tensei's are much weaker than their living prime state, Naruto STILL said that Edo Nagato with limited mobility was on an entirely different level than the 6 paths of pain corpses. We have to use logic and given evidence towards the truth too. Nagato living prime with full mobility, beats Edo Nagato, beats crippled Nagato using 6 paths of pain corpses. You are forgetting that Jiraiya fought Orochimaru and lost, he couldn't beat him and keep him in Konoha and he even laments on it in his death speech/scene etc. Orochimaru puts it blunt that Itachi is stronger than him and it is impossible for him to attain Itachi. Sasuke says at his re-union with Team 7 at Oro's base that it would be impossible for him and Orochimaru at that point to beat Itachi. Orochimaru beats Jiraiya, Itachi beats Orochimaru, Jiraiya beats 6 paths of pain corpses and crippled Nagato. Itachi > Orochimaru > Jiraiya > 6 paths of pain corpses. Naruto at his fight with Edo Nagato could not win without Killer Bee and Itachi's help and it was Itachi's Totsuka blade that sealed him. We all know by the time Naruto reached that point he was above Jiraiya even if just a smidge. Edo Nagato would win 1v1 against KCM Naruto, and 1v1 against Jiraiya.
