I hear you. Yes not evetyone gets the same affect of a&ing but that doesn't change the fact that prime has to do with age nonetheless. And to answer your question past prime Jiraiya would probably be weaker if it weren't for Sage Mode but if his prime self had it he'd probably be stronger than what he currently was in Shippuden.
