@Jason Oh so somehow summons don't count in his battle against Pain? Alrighty then that's a new rule.

Considering he never backed up anyone else who died I doubt it.

You realize in the same speech bubble Madara pretty much let's you know the statement is hyperbole by saying it rivals a Bijuu right? Also Jiraiya doesn't need to stay still to enter Sage Mode.

Again, even as he's 1v1ing Hidan, he's not just focusing on Hidan. Idk what you're not getting. He can't expect the other 3 to take Kakuzu on, they just can't Kakuzu could be on him at any moment. In fact, if Kakashi wasn't paying attention to both, he would die, considering that he'd be fighting Hidan and Kakuzu would give him blasts of elemental jutsu at the same time. That entire battle was essentially Kakashi protecting 3 Chunin from 2 S-ranked criminals until Shikamaru finally was able to get a hold of Hidan.

Yeah lol, whatever you say.

You think he'd be that slow at it during a battle? He can take his time for the first go because there was no danger. Besides, Amaterasu burns slow so he's got time, even as he's moving.

Considering how much build up Itachi needs, Jiraiya can cut off his line of sight with oil pretty easy I'd say.

Sensing barrier around him to tell if Itachi already made his way close in order to know if he's trying to get in fro CQC and eye contact. Relevant information lol.

Jiraiya fought 3 paths and won so no, doesn't seem too absurd. Just cus you can't handle that Jiraya and Itachi were written to be equals lol and it's obvious from character statements and the author's own descriptions of the characters.

Kisame still obviously believed that Itachi could have taken them, that's why he posed the question in the first place. Woulda made more sense to say something else still.
