Who is more stronger? Jiraiya Or Orochimaru (of the Legendary Sannin)? (*SPOILERS*)

So, who do you think is more stronger, Jiraiya Or Orochimaru?

Both are of the legendary Sannin and each have their own unique abilities.

However, the fact is that the Third Hokage regarded Orochimaru as a more capable ninja than Jiraiya , and believed that Orochimaru was some kind of Prodigy that appear in every few decades.
As for Jiraiya, he was the disciple of the Third Hokage and the master of the Fourth Hokage.

As for a side note,
Orchimaru was defeated in a swift move by Itachi while,
Jiraiya fought hard and was defeated by Pein.

So, who do you think is more stronger?

I believe that Jiraiya was Stronger than Orochimaru, for firstly , he knows the powerful Hermit mode and secondly, he fought supremely against Pein, though he died eventually. Orochimaru may not even dare to face Pein.

I think Jiraiya is way stronger than Orochimaru. I think Jiraiya is stronger than Itachi and I wouldn't even say Orochimaru would even come close to Itachi

by any means jiraya is more stronger:D... there's no daubt about it if don't believe me,, check out the fights between jiraya and pain and orochimaru vs itachi............ u will get the answer

It's hard to say. I dont think we've ever seen Orochimaru fight as his full power really. Even while he was fighting the third, he was probably at a lower level because he didnt have a good body. He probably would of beaten the third right out if he didnt have the sealing technique up his sleeve.

If I remember right Orochimaru was the strongest of the three back when they were normal shinobi. But even so I'd have to say that to the point of Jiraiya being defeated by pain that Jiraiya is at least a tad bit stronger.

I think Orochimaru is far more stronger then Jiraiya
Actually we have never seen orochimaru in his full power
Just like what Chrono said :p

And i think jiraiya was easily beaten by pein....

And Itachi is far more stronger then jiraya and orochimaru combined :rolleyes:

Jiraiya for sure.
You say that the third said that Orochimaru was a genious and one of a kind etc but look at what Jiraiya has mastered and what he has done.I also believe you remember Itachis and Kisames words.If they attacked him they would probably both end up dead along with Jiraiya.

I'd Have to say Jiraiya, although he dies facing pein, he put up a good fight, orochimaru would just flee if he had to face pein ><

I think it's Orochimaru.

Orichimaru is the strongest in my opinion. He took onthe other two sannin at once even though his arms were useless at the time.

i think orochimaru is stronger because he can fight two people and nearly kill one of them with no good arms.

Well yes, I agree on that. Jiraiya is stronger than Itachi and Itachi is stronger than Orochimaru.
What I really think is that,
Orochimaru was naturally talented since he was born so, in the past The Third Hokage did not acknowledge Jiraiya's strength but later on, Jiraiya worked hard and learned the Sage mode and became even more powerful than Orochimaru. That is to say, Orochimau was stronger when they were young, but later on Jiraiya became more powerful than Orochimaru through his hard work. That's what I think.

both...jiraiya had to put up with naruto...strongest on series is probably itachi or kakashi

...can't really agree on that...both Itachi and Kakashi died due to loss of chakra( Itachi's case including disease too), and they were fairly powerful.
But the strongest till date in the series got to be Pain. Read the latest manga chapter and the devastating power of Pain will be quite clear.

I voted for Jiraiya.:p He can be in "sage mode" which is very powerful enough to defeat Pein.
Jiraiya>Itachi>Orochimaru :cool:
