Love: essentially Orochimaru is a jonin. the title of sanin was just given to the 3 of them by Hanzo because of their outstanding skill.
I could argue this but I'd rather not. it's simple for a jonin to beat a sannin if they are skilled enough to do so

Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jaraiya hold the power of Kages.
Kakashi, Kurenai, and Gai. Do not.
They are essentially Jounin until they become Kage. Sannin are a name given to the legendary three yes but because of that this guild has used it as a Level/Rank. To guild standards Kekashi and Gai would be Jounin maybe Konin(maybe)
Itachi=Konin
Itachi kicked Kakashi's a** until Kakashi got better.
EDIT: A very skilled Jounin with the right situations could beat a sannin maybe but not in a straight forward battle. I doubt Kakashi could kill Orochimaru or else he would have.
EDIT EDIT: I don't mean to ague I just would be pissed if I was a Sannin(or Kage) and some punk Jounin decided he could beat me and not be afraid.
