Peaceful I agree with you on almost every point in your post, hell that was one of the best Itach posts ive read, but i have a couple questions
I do agree that Itachi could beat Jiraiya so im not arguing
Would Itachis Tsuklyomi work against Jiraiya, or atleast when Jiraiya is in sage mode? Kirabi shows us that if someone or something(8tails) floods thier chakra in them than Tsuklyomi wears off(assuming Tsuklyomi was used of kirabi). So Would the same work on Jiraiya? Natural energy is constantly being flooded in Jiraiya when the 2 sage frogs(ma and pa) are on his shoulders. They are constently gathering natural energy for Jiraiya and have their own chakra to puut in him so i dont think Genjutsu really applys in this battle at all. Like hell if jiraiyas genjutsu works on Itachi (who is best at genjutsu no comparison) and if jiraiya has ma and pa than i dont think even Tsuklyomi would work.
Also with Itachi and Kisame being afraid of Narutos Kyuubi spirit??? Im sorry man i cant buy that. I dont think they were afraid of jiraiya (or atleast not Itachi). Even by the trasnlastions people translate things in different ways, now im not saying your wrong i have no idea but i think that Kisame was afraid of Jiraiya and Itachi didnt want to fight him because Itachi isnt going to attack a Konaha comrade, Thats why they ran the minute that Jiraiya used a jutsu(toad mouth trap)
Having all that being said i still think that Itachi could beat Jiraiya, Itachi oncee said and i dont remember what chapter "only someone with sharingan can beat sharingan" and that doesnt prove much but Kishi said that for a reason.
So with the genjutsu cancelled out on both sides they need to rely on taijutsu and ninjutsu and plain smarts. Now Taijutsu, oh come on even with Jiraiya using sage mode itachi has a perfect taijutsu weapon and what could taht be?? Sharingan. Lee once proved to sasuke before the chunnin exams that even powers like sharingan pail in comparison to hard work or high speed taijutsu. Lee said that "even if yours eyes can see one step ahead of me if your body cant match its usless" well Itachi not only has a fully powered sharingan(which sasuke didnt come close at the time). Itachi has the body to keep up with high speed taijustu. Uchihas are said to be the warrior clan with exceptional chakras (stated by Tobi) so Itachi can keep up with most Taijutsu users. So even if Jiraiya is in sage mode Itachi can still see and keep up with his movements. And whose to say Sage mode jiraiyas taijutsu is unbeatable. Remember his fight with pain and when he first got in sage mode, Jiraiya tried going around in the smoke to hit the human realm and human realm stopped his punch with one hand (unless human realm has super streangth there has to be something to that)
Now for Ninjutsu, both have incredble ninjustu. But again I fail to see how Jiraiya can beat Itachi in this catagory. Can Sage mode (Jiraiyas best Ninjutsu/Senjutsu) block Amaterasu or Sussano. Some had a post saying that Those are Itachis trumpcards and wouldnt use that in the beggining of the fight. Well isnt Sage Mode Jiraiyas Trump Card? We have only seen him using it once and still it failed. No physical attack can work on ITachi with the Yatas Mirror and He cant be blocked with the Sword of Tsokta (however its spelled) or Amaterasu. Jiraiya doesnt have the defensive capabillity to compare to those 2 sublime jutsus. But itachi has the defensice capabillity to fight against anyone (except maybe madara)
So all in all this is what each has
Itachi
-Full Powered Sharingan
-An uchiha body
-Mangakyo Sharingan
-Tsuklyomi, Amaterasu, and Sussano
-Most powerful human Genjutsu user in the naruto universe
-Speed so fast that even someone with Sharingan (sasuke and kakashi) couldnt see his moves
-Younger generation always surpasses the older
Jiraiya
-Sage Mode
-Huge rasengan
-Toad Genjutsu/frog song
-A lengendary sannin
-More experiance
