Yeah but SM Jiraiya can do an Ultra Big Ball Rasengan too, and SM would most likely give him the ability to tank Naruto's attacks a couple of times. Clones can be drowned by a Goemon. Jiraiya's also got fire/wind/earth/water style jutsus, he's got the frog's genjutsu.

You're putting a guy who's got a variety of jutsu, plus, with sage mode, the ability of punching someone and flinging them away from the impact, vs a guy who can multiply himself and do variations of that one same technique.
