Back on topic though, Jiraiya has all the tools needed to deal with this Sasuke. Furthermore, this Sasuke is arrogant and will underestimate Jiraiya. I personally think Jiraiya doesn't need SM to win, but either way defeating Sasuke is not gonna be easy. FYI, Jiraiya doesn't need the toad sages to go into sage mode, he can do that by himself, however he would need to remain still, which obviously is not realistic in battle. In terms of storm element, darui's strongest attack is the one he did in Sasuke fight. I might be wrong on the others.

But still I cant see a scenario in which jiraiya would beat Sasuke, in sage mode form, let alone base form.

Sasuke has every counter to jiraiya's technique;

1)Eagle to fly and be put of range of jiraiya's attacks 2)Shoot amaterasu from above 3)use SusanoO from above ,shooting those impossible to dodge arrows, which jiraiya 99% wont dodge since he hasn't shown any feats he can. 4)Use genjutsu which even danzo, who had wood cells and ten sharingans to see through genjutsu couldn't see through, if he hadn't placed the cursed seal before, in Sasuke's throat he would've been dead. Jiraiya isn't possibly breaking that. 5) Chidori, Chidori nagashi, chidori spear, basic chidori, kusanagi chidori katana, chidori needles. I don't think jiraiya has a counter for all these variations, except maybe for chidori needles. 6)Arrogance is not actually a weakness, since madara himself was arrogant, still managed to pull off a win. 7)Sasuke, if he engages jiraiya in close quarters, he could crush him with Susanoo Grasp as he did to Danzo who had a wood cell-hardened body, so jiraiya is not escaping that. 8)Sasuke is also a high level speedster, he struck A, possibly the fastest shinobi at that time, with chidori and the base sharingan pre-cognition. Jiraiya has never exhibited speed of that level.

Sasuke could speed-blitz jiraiya and cut him with chidori beam or base chidori.
