Jiraiya's a street wise kind of guy, he strikes you as a man who has been around the world (because he literally has) and while he may not be anywhere close to Orochimaru's level of intellect I also think he knows things Orochimaru doesn't and can think in less linear and restrained ways than Orochimaru.
