Eh, not quite. Again, Kakuzu's abilities get overlooked a lot. The guy literally stopped a direct paw hit from the 2 tails with his bare hands. He was opening gates by punching them, lol.He easily overwhelmed Choji as well. Jiraiya is no where near that powerful in physical ability or endurance.Not even close. That's why i gave him Sage Mode, or at least the chance of entering SM. Also Kakuzu's ninjutsu arsenal is at least comparable with Jiraiya's, and his fire power if unbelievable and off the charts.

Even if Jiraiya manages to enter SM, in terms of physical abilities he needed to catch up. His ninjutsu does improve a lot in SM, but in terms of fire power he still needs to catch up. But in ninjutsu he does surpass Kakuzu.

Thing is that even if Jiraiya enters SM, Kakuzu is still comparable. And Jiraiya still needs to to kill him like what? 5 times? And also e doesn't even know that he needs to kill him 5 times, because he doesn't have any intel. So Kakuzu also has the element of surprise. And we know that even in Sm, Jiraiya doesn't deal well with the element of surprise.

I give this battle to Kakuzu. He doesn't get enough credit.

And just because a ninja is famed, it doesn't mean that others know about their abilities. Itachi and Kisame didn't know about Jiraiya's abilities.The same way, Jiraiya didn't know about Itachi's abilities.And both of them were famed throughout the ninja world.
