I might need to rewatch Narutos pein battle again because I prefer Jiraiyas Sage Mode since he could freely go into it with the help of the toads while Naruto could not and had a limited amount of times before he couldn't any longer. Well, it's called Plot no Jutsu. A lot of characters had to be nerfed just to portray Nartard and Sasgay's powers in a better light.

@MIGshinobi: This is one of the rare moments I actually agree with you. It's true that had Jiraiya had all the intel he needed before the fight, he would have gone after the real Nagato. But if Nagato tried to delay that by unleashing all the 6 Pains, then Jiraiya would have a really, really, really hard time dealing with them. Even as an emaciated cripple with a borrowed Rinnegan, Nagato still had an incredibly huge chakra pool. In fact, I'd argue that Nagato possessed Bijuu-level chakra. How else could he wipe out Konoha and still defeat Sage Mode Naruto after that?

So I think people are underestimating the 6 Pains, who are quite OP.
