People keep forgetting the subtext during those lines.

Minato is a genius, similar to Kakashi known to grasp a Jutsu he´s seen once and immediately be able to copy the concept. Jiraya was a dork and clumsy, his Chakra controll possibly the worst amongst the Sanin. Without the ability to cheat his way through a ginarmous chakra pool and shadow clone Jutsu for training worth of years on top of that he became lazy because no challenges. Furthermore Minato is extremely humble so he possibly never really trained that mode and uses the little knowledge Jiraya taught him.
