No, it was extremely troublesome.
"...I should've found out more from Sparkle first."
Jiraiya felt somewhat regretful. The moment he heard it might be his student, he had rushed over in a panic, only to end up surrounded by the Six Paths of Pain.

Sasuke: The one who's wrong isn't me—it's the world!
"I say, Little Jiraiya... how about we retreat on the spot?" Sage Fukasaku asked.
"No. Konoha is behind us. We can't retreat."
Besides, Jiraiya knew that Sparkle was very likely "watching" this scene right now.
Even Sparkle could probably only estimate Pain's true combat strength.
In that case, he might as well first obtain more intelligence for Sparkle and Konoha.
Jiraiya raised his head.
Aside from Pain himself, there were also many Summoned Beasts here: enormous crabs, centipedes, chameleons, and other creatures that looked exceedingly troublesome.
Especially that three-headed canine Summoned Beast.
The eyes of those Summoned Beasts were all Nagato's Rinnegan as well. Though he did not know what was going on, there was no doubt they were all extremely dangerous. Their massive bodies made the ground tremble with every step. If these Summoned Beasts Have invaded Konoha, they would likely cause immense casualties.
"And that one..."
Jiraiya looked toward the Asura Path.
The Asura Path's arms transformed at the front into all kinds of weapons—missiles, blades, massive cannons—all aimed at Jiraiya.
Some of the other Pains seemed to be preparing something, while others merely watched from the side.
Meanwhile, Deva Path Pain floated silently in the air, his Rinnegan looking down upon everything like those of a true god.
—How was he supposed to fight this?
Jiraiya's heart felt incredibly heavy.
"Caw—caw—"
A crow flew up from the forest.
Sasuke withdrew
