Battles

@GIRUGAMESH: I think he would win the first but possibly lose the 2nd.

When Kakashi saw Orochimaru during the Chuunin exams he pretty much crapped himself and at that particular moment in time I believe he was probably one of the most powerful ninja village. I would think Danzo is probably the only challenge here but with Edo Hashirama and Edo Tobirama on his side he's going to be pretty much unstoppable.

The 2nd battle seems like it would be a lot closer. Jiraiya is easily better than Orochimaru and Danzo being here too with his Izanagi would possibly prove to be too much for Orochimaru and his edos, especially Jiraiya with his genjutsu that uses sound. The sound 4 wouldn't be great, they all got taken out by Genins and having Kakashi, Gai and all the other high level Konoha ninja would probably give Team Konoha the win. It all depends on whether or not Konoha can find a way to seal Hashirama and Tobirama because if they can't then they're probably screwed.

Scenario 1 Danzo should win.

Scenario 2 Jiraiya could likely solo.

@GIRUGAMESH: Yeah Danzo unbalances it a little bit imo because he would be at least as powerful as Orochimaru.

If there's no Danzo and no Edo for the first battle then I'd still be inclined to say Orochimaru's team would win. Kakashi is probably the strongest ninja in the village and like I said before he pretty much crapped it.

Konoha probably has the greater overall ninja but without a strong leader who can compete against Orochimaru, they're probably screwed. Plus Sound 4 is pretty powerful, I did say they got taken out by the genins earlier but that was obviously PIS. Infact the Sand nins helped out a fair bit, except for Neji who barely won and Chouji who used those pills to make him pretty hax.

I guess it really comes down to Orochimaru though, can he compete against several jounin level ninja on his own? I suppose after revaluating what I said earlier, he might actually lose just because he'd probably run out of stamina or something. He'd need some good mass kill jutsus to stand a chance because Konoha nin are a lot better than the average Sand nin.

Yeah quite a few Manda like summons, we saw the destruction just a couple of giants snakes were causing to Konoha before Jiraiya intervened. This would be a close one, I keep changing my mind lol. Now I'm thinking Orochimaru could win using all his summons.

The only thing i see Jiraiya or Danzo having a hard time with would be sealing the 1st and 2nd hokage.
