Jiraiya was pretty strong

[Kiro1]

Itachi acknowledged he was on a whole other level and Pein admitted that if Jiraiya had known the secret to his Justu than he would have won and Jiraiya's pupil commended and praised him. And he was doing pretty well against all six peins despite not knowing the secret to his Justu.

 

[Raava]

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were supposed to be top tier characters in the World of Shinobi due to them having the title "Sanin".

Funny how the scaling is so freaking messed up now, they'd be one shotted by all of the top 10 characters xD

 

[Gerkak]

Yes he was

Funny,
Tsunade and Orochimaru aren't dying and have never been shown to go all out, and the only reason Jiraiya is dead is because he didn't have intel and Pein did...even Pein said so.

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

Jaraiyas trump card was his sage mode. Without it he's still a formidable high jounin class but with sage mode he is kage level

This.
Jiraiya was strong before Kishi lost his mind and went full DBZ-wank.

I think he is higher than Kage level.

 

[Lariatoo]

Yes he was. On Sage Mode he is top 21 of strongest characters ever.

I would place Obito higher than Hashirama because of Sage mode.
