@killman, like I said naruto was better at sage mode, he was a perfect sage mode. He didn't have access to infinite sage mode because kurama didn't allow the frogs to fuse with him, not because he lacked the skill. So like I said naruto surpassed jiraiya in sage mode profiency. He did what jiraiya lacked the skill to do. Naruto needed prep time because he was handicapped by the nine tails, so I don't count that as an advantage. Plus he couldn't use as many shadow clones as he normally would because otherwise the clones gathering senjutdu chakra would lose focus. Ignoring this fact is ignorance imo. Like I said, the only true advantage he had was full intel at the starr. Everything else naruto did himself. In this fight you are claiming jiraiya starts out in sage mode, which is a form of prep in itself.the summons are irrelevant. Gamaken fought off the dogs long enough, and after the rhino and such the animal path no longer used summons. And I think we can give the frogs a break since they were going up against 6 of the jesus eyes. The fact of the matter is it was made clear naruto surpassed jiraiya at that point in the series. Higher sage mode profiency, massive amounts of shadow clones, addded a chakra nature to his rasengan,  more or less the same intelligence and wisdom. Naruto was fighting 6 pains while jiriaiya needed to retreat to fight 3 even though he gained enough intel mid fight. Ninjutsu and taijutsu weren't effective at all so he needed genjustu.
