Fair assesment, the general themes of the series after all is about the next generation surpassing the previous ones. I recall Fukasaku even said Naruto has surpassed Jiraiya as a Sage. Though I'm sure Jiraiya could offer up a decent amount of resistance against Pre KCM Naruto though I definitely think Naruto has an edge. I guess it boils down to experience vs power.
