This is one I've thinking about for a while.

How would Sage Mode Jiraiya fare against Sage Mode Kabuto -- in that snake cave (not sure of its spelling)?

To make things even here, Jiraiya can use Sage Mode indefinitely, while Kabuto can't use Edo Tensei. No other changes. Jiraiya can still summon toads and Kabuto's sage stuff says as is.

It was said Jiraiya could've won against the Six Paths of Pain if he knew his way around them, but for Kabuto...? I'm not sure. Fire Release techniques are pointless - Kabuto has advanced water release, and he can shed his skin if engulfed in flames. Taijutsu would be pointless - Kabuto can liquify has body. This isn't to say all of Jiraiya's jutsu are pointless - his Rasengan techniques should be able to do some damage, and Kabuto can't absord them. I'm not sure what Jiraiya could do against a White Rage.

So, overall, I'd say Kabuto has the upperhand. What do you think?
