Genjutsu counters
First of all, i'd like to point out the fact that all Itachi's genjutsu are made in close range battle. Whether it is againstYou must be registered for see links, againstYou must be registered for see links, or againstYou must be registered for see links
This is also confirmed by the databook
So for Itachi to actually even start thinking about puting Jiraya in a genjutsu, it would have to happen in a close range battle. Here is where the problem begins since Jiraya is a long range fighter using and abusing of his superior ninjutsu

Jiraya being a long range fighter, Itachi would have difficuties to find opportunities to place Jiraya in a genjutsu and take advantage of it.
Also, contrary to the popular belief, Kai release can break out of any genjutsus including Itachi's. The reason why Itachi's tsukuyomi is unbreakable is not because of the power of it, but because it takes time in few seconds, so not giving time to the opponent to use kai release and break it. Now it depends on the users skills while using the kai release method. Like Jiraya said, to break genjutsu, you must try your best to stop your chakra flowYou must be registered for see links. Doing that will break any genjutsu. That'sYou must be registered for see links.
JirayaYou must be registered for see links, the one he used on a woman to distract him, something that Itachi noticed, which shows he is skilfull in breaking genjutsus
Naruto for example was capable to breakYou must be registered for see linksthat Itachi gave, but still wasn't able to overcome the genjutsu completely. The reason behind this, Itachi already gave it himself. It's because heYou must be registered for see links. That again shows that a more skilful kai release user could have broken Itachi's genjutsu completely
Another example is the Orochimaru vs Itachi battle. Itachi managed to put Orochimaru inYou must be registered for see links. Since Kai release needs both hands to be together to be performed, it's for that reason Orochimaru struggled to break it. But Orochimaru could have broken it if he managed to put his hands together in time. He was already close to it even. It's for that reason thatYou must be registered for see links
So like you can see, breaking Itachi's genjutsu isn't impossible at all, far from it actually. Depends now on the opponents skills in using the kai release method. But in general, genjutsu is used to create a diversion for a following attack, not to defeat the enemy
Those are the reasons why i believe that Jiraya could have broken Itachi's genjutsu if necessary. He has already shown the skill even. But would Itachi allow it to happen? That's probably where the real debate is
Anyway, like Jiraya also said, if yourself is incapable to break a genjutsu,You must be registered for see links. Jiraya always starts battles with summons as partners [You must be registered for see links] [You must be registered for see links] [You must be registered for see links
So even if either of them was caught in a genjutsu at some point, the other will make him free from it exactly like a Jinchuriki's method for example. Gamabunta has shown the capacityYou must be registered for see links, so he could use this method that would break Jiraya free from it and vice verse
Those are the main reasons why i believe genjutsu won't be an issue in this fight
Ninjutsu superiority
Jiraya is one of the most skilful ninjutsu user in the entire manga. Minato even said he thinksYou must be registered for see links. During their encounter in part1 even, both Itachi and Kisame wereYou must be registered for see linksthat they were already trapped by Jiraya's jutsu from the start, which could be considered as a testament of Jiraya's skilful use of ninjutsu
Here is where the problem begins since Jiraya is a long range fighter using and abusing of his superior ninjutsu

Talking about summons, my opponent forgot to talk about Gamabunta's help here. His suiton weree huge enough to even counter Shukaku's high level of fuuton technique(see above), so it will render Itachi's use of Katons meaningless and more importantly, Jiraya will even take advantage of it in the ninjutsu battle
Not only that, but like my opponent stated, Jiraya could also use combo attacks as powerfulYou must be registered for see links. Just to make you remember,You must be registered for see links, but himself look like shit compared to this jutsu. So Itachi won't survive if he receives an attack of this scale and unfortunately for him, he doesn't possess the ninjutsu arsenal to counter or even evade it
Jiraya also has high level of long range attacks thanks to his hair, capable to easily destroy huge summons

Those are the reasons why i believe Jiraya would totally dominate the ninjutsu battle
How does Jiraya counters Amaterasu:
Jman already hasYou must be registered for see links. So he would be really cautious if he were to fight Itachi. Contrary to the popular belief, amaterasu is aYou must be registered for see linksthat appears instantly withing a certain range, and from there beginsYou must be registered for see linksthe target(it's the reason why eventhough it almost appeared on Raikage, he had time to shunshin out of the way) andYou must be registered for see linksdepending on where the user focuses. What i mean by that is that if a target is outside the range of amaterasu, it would be easier for him to notice it and therefore counter it with something in his arsenal. Sasuke for example was ableYou must be registered for see linksduring a while and use aYou must be registered for see linksto counter the jutsu. Killer-Bee also used a subtitution when he had no knowledge on the jutsu, and with knowledge he has shown that it was even ableYou must be registered for see linksbefore he uses Amaterasu(which shows btw that Amaterasu needs some time of concentration to be released)
Jiraya who even already has knowledge on the jutsu. During the time Amaterasu would be released, he could useYou must be registered for see linksto protect himself and evenYou must be registered for see linksat Itachi after that with his needle Senbon. Other method could beYou must be registered for see links(burning a KB is useless).
Also, even without knowledge in part1, he directly created a counter for it in an instant with aYou must be registered for see links
How does Jiraya counter Susanoo:
Gaara helped us to know thatYou must be registered for see links. Well, Jiraya has a perfect counter for this withYou must be registered for see links(Jiraya even said it wasYou must be registered for see links). It would totally make sink Itachi in this position with or without his Susanoo
If they are fighting in an enclosed area, Jiraya could capture him(Susanoo or not) inYou must be registered for see linkslike he already did in part1. He can also create an opening to capture him in theYou must be registered for see linkslike he did against Pain
Sasuke made us understandYou must be registered for see linksbecause of sound vibration. Well, Pa and Ma haveYou must be registered for see links(able to paralyse Pain summons). With this jutsu, it would be easy for SM Jiraya to paralyse Itachi and finish him either with hisYou must be registered for see linksorYou must be registered for see linksYou must be registered for see linksor even something else in his arsenal.
We also know thanks to Kabuto, thatYou must be registered for see links, so Pa and Ma use this and he is done for:You must be registered for see imagesYou must be registered for see imagesYou must be registered for see imagesYou must be registered for see imagesYou must be registered for see images
Stamina advantage:
Jiraya undoubtely has the stamina advantage since his chakra was huge enough to even allow him to use Sage Mode. He was spamming techniques since he entered Pain's territory and i never saw him run out of stamina in the entire manga. On the contrary, most of Itachi's powerful techniques take a lot of tole on his body.You must be registered for see linkswith more thanYou must be registered for see linksandYou must be registered for see linksuse of itYou must be registered for see linksgreatly. It also gives the opportunity to the opponent to take advantage of it and finish him off
Jiraya wins :scorps:
incredible :bouncy:
