@Vladosaurus Not by a large margin. All he's missing at this point is Imperfect SM. Well not missing it - he just wasn't shown using it. He was already shown summoning two different toads and using that entrapment jutsu (can't remember the name) that would be quite useful in handling an Edo like Hashirama.

If Hiruzen could face both of them while also dealing with Orochimaru, I don't see how Jiraiya wouldn't be able to take care of Hashirama. The sealing part is what prevents him from winning.
