i wonder what would have happen if the fight was elsewhere, but there's no point in guessing, so the count for now is:
good guys: 0
akatsuki: 1
good guys: 1
akatsuki: 1

jiraiya managed to get them to run off delaying their plans for a bit, thats a win my book.

just to add my two cents to some of the things i read here:
-i dont think that the next arc will be a rescue arc... they have no clue of the location of the akatsuki's dark and gloomy cave. and chasing after a group of people that just took down a kage... wouldnt be smart
-i dont think that the shukaku can take over when gaara is unconscious. the shukaku takes over when gaara is in deep sleep, so it may be during the moments in the sleep cycle you experiance REM. im no expert, but i dont think you go through REM while unconscious.
-as for birdeye's sex, i dont see boobs.. naruto has pulled the sexual ambiguity thing before... im not falling for it again... until i see proof, birdeye's a dude
-birdeye is badass... accept it, there is no other option, artist rule all...yeah
