I think we're onto 2 different things. I was referring to a perfect Sage Mode user, while I'm guessing you're referring to a Perfect Sage Mode user. The difference is that I was talking about the best person to use Sage Mode in general, while you're talking about the best person to use the perfected Sage Mode.

Following what I said earlier, since Naruto had multiple sources of power, he didn't live his life purely as a sage, which Jiraiya on the other hand did. So what I'm trying to say, is that by living his whole life as purely a sage, Jiraiya was the "perfect" Sage Mode user, as in the person who had the most experience overall with just purely Sage Mode.

Naruto on the other hand, would be the "perfect" perfected Sage Mode user, and even the "perfect" hybrid Sage Mode user, as in the person who had the most experience overall with using a perfected Sage Mode, and using a Sage Mode with other abilities i.e. Chakra Mode.
