When Sarutobi told Jiraiya he should be more like Orochimaru, they had just graduated to Genin, since Sarutobi gave them the bell test.

Now, if we look back at how Sasuke was stronger than Naruto during the bell test, which is obviously given to the ninjas that had just graduated, could we really say, Sasuke is and will forever be stronger than Naruto? No, its been about a year since then, and Naruto is already stronger. Plus, look at the parallels here. The Legendary 3 and Team 7 are almost exactly alike. So i take it as, at first Jiraiya was weaker, but became stronger just like Naruto and Sasuke. And, Oro will never admit his once weaker rival is stronger than him now, just like how Sasuke can't.

And do you really think, their growth rates stayed the same since they were 12? For all we know Jiraiya shot past Oro just like Naruto did to Sasuke.
