Before the 1st great war would happen jiryai finds himself in Mount myoboku being told he'll train and instruct the person to either bring peace to the world or leave it ruin. He arrived back in his own plane being able to use the summoning jutsu easier than orchimaru and even tsunades. Tsunade received the slug summoning contact it took her a while to get used to them since they were slugs but in the end she did bond with them. Ochimaru had a drawn attention to snakes, how they shed skin, thinking that this technique and defence mechanism could have prevented his father from being injured.
The 1st great war has started when hiruzen was 30 (like 8 or so years later in canon), it started when the irrelevant villages, smaller ones that weren't as powerful as the other ones like the grass, rain and frost villages had united for a goal to be recognised. This goals had lead them to invade the waterfall, they deemed them as the weakest even though they had access to 2 tailed beasts there overall shinobi were below the leafs and sand.
There invasion had occured where waterfall lasted a bit longer than they expected before hiruzen himself appeared, while hiruzen was away the stone decided to do there own attack. They fought the cloud with the help of the land of birds, like with the waterfall, kagami and the platoon of shinobi including a teenage squad of chuuin that were tsunade, jiryai and orchimaru who even became a jonin just weeks prior the battle.
A was still standing fighting against a squad of the strongest the stone had, including the new 4th tails jinchurikis, they were a proficient they didn't need sen gokus innate ability that he wouldn't have given but since the host already had the kekkeo genkai they could force for the beast to give power. There seal was weak so the tailed beasts chakra was leaking into there own without the users own free will, this lead them to lose control over themselves doing stupid untactical decisions that even endangered there own shinobi, on top of having no bond with the 4th tails as well as having less experience with the creature lead A to win with middle difficulty. The 4th tails lack of control over his actions actually made him not be able to use the devil fruit they had in the battle.
It was the other well organised shinobi being lead by the new kage of the stone onoki, onoki with particle style was able to damage A. Lucky for A the 8 tails was able to pull him out of the way from attacks and use his tentacles to bat away Onokis attacks causing him to miss his particle style based attacks.
His level of mastery was good with the jutsu but not as good as Muu, A with experience and knowledge with how the jutsu works had not been caught off guard. However if onoki zoan jackal form his speed,agility, strength and durability had far surpassed Muu, although his jutsus was lower onoki was a different level of threat than the past kage. During the battle he was obviously forced to go in his full form to be able to defend himself against the threat, the 2nd tails also stepping right in as well.
The 2nd tailed beasts host hadn't been replaced, they were loyal to the village no matter who was leading so when they found out they could still serve and not die they choose to live and help the village. It quickly came to A and the 2nd tails jinchuriki vs onoki and the forces he brought, he only took in the strongest people he had, his plan was to buy enough time for his 4th tailed beast jinchuriki to regain enough health and stamina to rejoin the battle. Once that does happen it'll be the 2nd tails vs the 4th tails with everyone else fighting A alone, a fight that the stone would surely win.
Onoki would eventually catch A slipping, he saw his death not with future sight but just the fear of death suddenly swings materialised around onoki and it pushes him away. The force generated wasn't enough to deal damage but it did cause the particle style to miss. The 2nd tails revealed there new abilities, awakening the bane bane no mi had made him be able to create springs everywhere to bounce around the battle field avoiding onokis jutsus and techniques.
