Plus as far as I know the fight wasn't shown, so we can't confirm if he used SM or not. Oro had limited jutsu, couldn't form handsigns, and his body was rejecting him. He also wasn't trying to attack for the most part, he was seeing what Naruto could do. He was at a much bigger disadvantage the entire fight. If he was in Jiraiya's condition he would have happily continued. If the roles were reversed, there's no question that Jiraiya would be dead. Remind me, who was it that left that fight with a scar and a story about the second time he almost died? Does Jiraiya have an attack stronger than a TBB? I think not. In SM jiraiya too would heal most of the damage inflicted by 4-tailed Naruto. And I am pretty sure naruto caught Jiraiya By Surprise. He didn't expect that drastic change in power. Also it's only during that fight the body "started" to show signs of weakness, also if he couldn't use ninjutsu how was he using rashomon?(which means he had started relearning all his jutsu). Besides ORO doesn't has fire power to takedown Jiraiya anyway and eventually Oro would lose chakra and lose.
