Kurama wasn't able to gather energy for Naruto until the Fourth Shinobi World War. At the levels they were when the fought Pain, I think Jiraiya would win. Pain said the only reason he won was because Jiraiya didn't know about the Six Paths. Naruto, with information on that and time to prepare, still lost in a one-on-one engagement.
