For the sake of argument, let's use Naruto as he was vs Pain, and Jiraiya as he was vs Pain. Let's say there's two of each summons (Naruto has Ma and Pa, who only act as support, and Jiraiya has another identical set of Ma & Pa frogs). Let's set it in a forest, not unlike the one where Gaara and Naruto fought.

The fight starts out pretty basic, after all, they're kinda equaling each other out: Naruto can't fuse, but has perfect Sage Mode, Jiraiya's is imperfect, but he's fused with Ma & Pa.

Naruto's attacks do more damage if they land, but Jiraiya's attacks are more varied. Every clone/rasengan combo is countered with a needle-jizo, or a fire/water/wind/earth technique.

Naruto's sage mode fades out, Jiraiya takes advantage and does damage, but Naruto's Pa summons the latter's clone, and Naruto has sage mode again, which, to Jiraiya, is inexplicable. Jiraiya spends the next half of the fight trying to figure out Naruto's secret.

One of them summons Gamabunta, the other summons Gamahiro or Gamaken, and the two giant toads go at it as the two ninjas go at it once more.

Naruto uses the Rasen-shuriken, surprising Jiraiya by throwing it, catching him off-guard and doing damage. The two summons disappear, Jiraiya's summon is caught in the explosion. Naruto loses Sage Mode again, and his Fukasaku summons the other Naruto clone. Jiraiya, still recovering, notices this, hidden and understands what Naruto's doing.

He decides to play for time, he just needs to wait him out. Jiraiya lures Naruto into a Toad Mouth Bind, or a Swamp of the Underworld, basically a controlled environment where he has the upper hand, hoping to block him, as Ma & Pa go for their genjutsu, but Naruto overwhelms him by summoning a thousand clones.

Jiraiya blocks the assault with a giant-ass Rasengan, or a Goemon. His chakra has almost completely run out, Naruto's not doing great but he's easily hanging in there.

Naruto's sage mode evaporates for the final time. His Ma & Pa step in, but Jiraiya's Ma & Pa confront them. So it's all come down to the two of them going at it physically. And Jiraiya's tired and old.

Naruto goes up against him, Jiraiya puts some defence up, tries a last ditch effort tactic, which either succeeds but doesn't do crap, or fails. And Naruto wins.
