People were arguing about how Jiraiya fights Itachi with his eyes closed and with no prep for sage mode, it's simple, he does the same thing he did against pain, He Uses the Barrier: Canopy Method Formation. Pain summoned an Iguana that turned invisible and to locate him Jiraiya used a barrier ninjutsu. All jiraiya does is clap his feet together and the barrier forms and he can sense anything in it like sage sensing.
This technique creates a spherical detection barrier with the user at the centre. At the user's command, the detection barrier can expand, grasping everything in the room. The user is able to detect anything that moves inside the barrier space with their own "sense". The user may also move, the barrier will follow them as they move.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Jiraiya wins this fight, but he does have a way to fight without getting caught in tsukuyomi immediately. Imo, Jiraiya needs to go all out from the start he should summon at least 2 or 3 boss summons and make some shadow clones to stall for him while he tries to summon ma and pa.
