See, as an outspoken Jiraiya fan, I always think that environment is a big part of Jiraiya's fighting style considering he uses Fukasaku and Shima, two Sage Toads which take a shitload of time to summon, in order to get the full out of his Imperfect Sage Mode where he is at his best. Mind you, I still think he can handle MS Sasuke without Sage Mode, but it would be far more difficult.

So, if Jiraiya has enough room to access his SM, he wins with Low to Mid difficulty. If they're fighting in an open field with nowhere for him to hide, then it's gonna be a lot more difficult, but I think he could still take Sasuke out. His Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld can take care of Sasuke's snake summons. His Fire Sealing Method can seal Amaterasu. Sasuke's still a noob with Susanoo at this point and can't really keep it up for long periods of time due to how taxing it is, so Jiraiya can probably summon a toad for distraction and land a Rasengan on him.
