Your explaination is long but still doesn't address any of the points I made, I think you are confusing sage mode with battle experience. Obviously jiraiya had more fighting experience than naruto because he was a lot older than naruto. Sage mode training involves balancing chakra and NE perfectly jiraiya had been training in sage mode since he was young man and still was not able to master it he said so himself. Naruto had a natural aptitude to sage mode, it appeared difficult for him at first because of kuruma's interference. Once kuruma had stopped naruto began to improve vastly, kuruma never help naruto in his sage mode training, he only began to help naruto gather NE later in the final arc. So again how could of jiraiya ever been a stronger sage than after training for decades and still not mastering it.
