Jiraiya is good at evading attacks and using his abilities to get around, in a normal battle, but Kabuto can control the environment around him, so that's going to make it impossible for Jiraiya to maneuver if the ground and walls around him are becoming animate and attacking him, even if Jiraiya summons, they will be unable to fight since they are bigger and easier to hit with the animate environment, Kabuto also has full control of the sage mode as the dragon sage. Kabuto has an advantage over Jiraiya's survivability, which is what made Jiraiya so good at fighting in many of his important battles.
