where is the proof of the bolded part ? U_U
chakra sensing,heightened speed and reflexes,jiraiya hs a speed of 4.5 in base,in sage mode his s peed is dramatically enhanced,also he can use shishin to escape it,remember although naruto's base physical abilities are also enhanced,jiraiya is much stronger,faster and has better reflexes than base naruto,so his sage mode enhancements will also allow him to be above naruto in sm as well. @ icelerate,what do you mean sm jiraiya cudnt touch pain,he sent the human path flying with a smiple kick and blinded him as well,he kicked the animal path mid-air before he could summon,he beat three paths at once despite their intent to kill him,after he lost his arm,he blocked all their attacks and dodged the asura missiles before killing the animal path,he could have escaped if he felt like it FYI,just because naruto is a pefect sage dosent make him stronger,he just dosent have frog aspects and can enter sage mode by himself,jiraiya is much stronger than him in base,and sm increases their physical aspects,so jiraiya should be at least on his level in sage mode. What maked you think jiraiya dosent know frog kumite? He spent so much time training there that he could actually spit out toad oil,why wudnt they teach him frog kumite?,naruto cant spam clones in sage mode,that twas in his mind with his kyubi,he cant make more than four clones at a time,2 for gathering senjutsu chakra, and 2 for battle. The only OP move he has his tasenshuriken which jiraiya can dodge in sage mode,his rasengan isnt as strong as jiraiy's either,did you not see the rasengan he used against preta path?,it is said to be able to hollow out a mountain!!!,jiraiya also has frog song as well,he can use as many shadow sage clones as he likes cuz he has infinite sage mode with ma and pa,meaning he can spam rasengan if he likes,he can also do that combo jutsu with ma and pa that he used aganst the paths,he can do big ball rasengan also,it's just made by putting more senjutsu chakra which he has infinite with ,ma and pa,not to mention,his shadow clones against pain also had ma and pa on them as well so they can also use senjutsu for long,jiraiya is more experienced with sage mode as well.his intelligence as well as his versatility give him the win,he also has swamp of the underworld as well.
