ALL POSTSIf Pain's secret had been figured out beforehand
<p>During Jiraiya's fight against the Six Paths of Pain, Jiraiya was successful in discovering the secret behind Nagato's jutsu, but died in the process. If Jiraiya had figured it out prior to the battle, do you think he could have killed all six Paths? Why or why not?
</p><p>My answer: Maybe. Even when Naruto knew the secret behind Pain and had a perfected Sage Mode contrary to Jiraiya's, it took not only three entrances into Sage Mode, but also a large amount of Kurama's chakra as well as multiple Wind Release: Rasenshuriken to successfully defeat all six Paths, not to mention an armada of summoned toads to aid him in battle. Finally, this was all done after Nagato had used up a significant portion of his own chakra, and began to weaken. Needless to say, it would be a very, very close fight.

<p>Yes. He fired his sound genjutsu prematurely. had he used it against all six, he would´ve defeated them and been able to confront Nagato </p>

<p>Yeah, basically Jiraiya's biggest downfall was that he didn't know that there were 6 Pains. That bit of knowledge alone would have given him a much better chance.

<p>it's why Nagato could defeat anyone with ease. Any ninja would go into the fight expecting one guy with a rinnegan. The fact that people don't know there are six makes it such a powerful jutsu. </p>

<p>Pein said that he would have lost to Jiraiya if he knew the secret to his jutsu, so yeah, Jiraiya most likely would have won.

<p>It wouldn't be a guarantee due to a variety of possible risks, scenarios, etc...But Jiraiya would nonetheless have a very real chance of defeating the Six Paths of Pain.
