Jiraiya completely let his guard down, yet at the very last moment he did sense the Preta Path Body get right behind him which he was ONLY able to sense that despite letting his guard all the way down thanks to Sage Mode's Sensing and reaction ability. Naruto's guard was all the way up and he was anticipating 3rd Raikage's speed and attacks, coupled with Sage Modes sensing and reaction abilities. There is no reason Jiraiya cannot do the same as nothing ever said the reaction and sensing abilities of Jiraiyas Sage Mode were different to Naruto's.
