This is interesting. I wonder which shinobi the summons like gamabunta would be more loyal to. As father and student they have intimate knowledge on each other's techniques. Both have limited mastery of sage mode, minato is a perfect sage but he can't maintain it for long, while jiraiya is an imperfect sage but he uses ma and pa when he can to help him continously absorb and balance sage energy and they also supplement his techniques. Minato has instaneous control of his position of the battlefield however jiraiya has huge area of effect techniques to help counter act. Both are intelligent and experienced but minato has a huge edge in speed as well as sealing techniques. If minato manages to tag jiraiya it can be problematic. Im not sure who would win.
