Rinne Sharin Byaku Tensei gan wrote: 1-Sage Naruto is stronger than sage jiraiya ; because Naruto defeated 6 paths of Pain but Jiraiya didn't have a chance and was killed. 2-EMS Sasuke was stronger than Naruto ; because he fought 5 kage, killed Danzo , fought Kakashi and Sakura and scotched Sage Naruto (whithout using EMS mode) So from the two comparisons above, we can say it is obvious that EMS Sasuke kills Jiraiya. How did Naruto beat Pain? How did Pain beat Jiraiya? Naruto had knowledge and Kurama helped him. Jiraiya killed 3 paths and then 4. path cut off his arm. When Naruto was fighting with Pain Ma summoned Gamabunta, Gamahiro and Gamaken. SM Jiraiya will definitely beat SM Naruto. Ninja Of War wrote: Though I do agree Sasuke has surpassed Itachi in certain aspects, we have to remember that in part 2, Itachi was busy dying from a terminal illness and was also suffering from overuse of the Mangekyo, meaning we never saw Itachi at full power and obviously his full potential.

Also, Sasuke is fast thanks to his skillful use of the body flicker technique, but he isn't untouchable, as proven by several characters in the series. It can't be said that Sasuke will kill Jiraiya before he enters SM, since there is no real evidence for this. SM Jiraiya can beat Prime Itachi not just Edo Itachi.

Jiraiya has a better chance than most to beat Sasuke because of his versatile skill set, not just his sound genjutsu, heck one of his jutsu creates an entire swamp. EMS Sasuke has never been shown to be able to use PS by himself, so it might not be possible to include PS, but Jiraiya has jutsu that can deal with Susanoo. I see Sasuke just trying to Amaterasu everything while hiding in his Susanoo, while Jiraiya counters with his own jutsu, fire bombs, toad oil etc.

P.S. Who has the more stamina and chakra again? Prime Itachi is Edo Itachi because he has more chakra and he can use Susanoo for a longer time.
