Could Jiraiya have truly matched Itachi back then?

[Owarij]

Are you reading what Itachi said? Kisame, Backup from akatsuki and Himself will only STALEMATE, with Jiraya?////

You must be joking if you think Jiraya can fight on par with 2 much less 3 and 4 akatsuki members..It's completely and utterly obvious Itachi was bullshitting Kisame and playing on his ignorance of the sannin

 

[Strawberry]

Im afraid not itachi is just op and beast however i read a differant translation before and it was worded way differantly.

One eye contact with Itachi can kill you, one glance of him can, too. He's the best at Genjutsu and even possesses Shisuis eye, calling it a part of his power, while Jiraiya however is weak at Genjutsu and gives Naruto the advice to run away if he's about to face a Genjutsu user in a 1on1. He's much faster than Jiraiya in both speed and handseals, so fast that not even the Sharingan can keep up with him properly. He is also much more intelligent, according to Kabuto able to read his opponents like an open book.

Kabuto needed to close his eyes, in order not to fall for any of the Uchihas Genjutsu, above, the Uchiha mustn't kill him. So what makes Jiraiya better than Itachi, if he's slower, less intelligent and can be one shotted with one eye contact and glance of Itachi? I dunno.

Itachi can't use Shisui's eye because when he still had it, it was still recharging. It had a ten year time limit so Itachi never had access to KA.

OT: Itachi wins mid difficulty.

Summons are put into genjutsu so Jiraiya's combination attacks that he relies on such as katon + oil combo aren't going to work. Jiraiya has his barrier to detect Itachi and possibly amaterasu but nothing suggests he'll be able to react to it in time since all Itachi has to do is look at you and you are a goner unless you can escape the sharingan's eye sight but Jiraiya couldn't even escape the Rinnegan's eyesight so he isn't getting past the sharingan.

Rinnengan > Sharingan.
Jiraiya SM > Itachi.

 

[Owarij]

Rinnengan > Sharingan.
Jiraiya SM > Itachi.

Rinnegan > sharingan, and Yet tobi has proclaimed in the manga that Sasuke's ems will surpass nagato's eyes

And even if Jiraya sm was > Itachi (which by far it isn't), he still needs like 10 mins to enter that mode.. and in his base, he's inapable of dodging 1 shot abilities such as amaterasu..

The winner of this fight is as clear as day

Simplistic counter from a simple minded person.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Dumb reply from a dumb person.
Did Jiraiya and Itach fight?No.
So no one knows who wins.

 

[Strict]

Jenga alone is annoying enough, his avatar and signature provoke even more. Trolling or just stupid, I don't know.

 

[Omnipotent]

Not at all.
Itachi is the second best liar in the manga, second to only Kabuto.

 

[Turson]

Only someone with no sense at all could think that Jiraiya can take on two Akatsuki squads (thats 4 Kage level shinobi) and win.

And that after Jiraiya had problems in keeping up with Chikushodo, only being able to survive that long due to his own summon, that can be controlled by the Sharingan.

And lets be serious: if Itachi wanted to kill Jiraiya he would just use Amaterasu on him, instead of frog stomach. At that time Jiraiya had no info on Amaterasu, moreover he was standing in tight corridor, no chance to dodge Sharingan eyesight.

Jiraiya and Itachi maintaining eye contact in a situation where both are enemies.

Tsukuyomi.

/thread.

 

[adeshina365]

That was a mistranslation, in the proper translation Kisame and Itachi refer to the Kyuubi.

 

[Unorthodox]

itachi owns this easily he took out orochimaru with genjutsu no problem you think a lesser sanin such as jiraiya could beat him?

Even in sage mode, I doubt Jiraiya can dodge amaterasu for various reasons. He wouldn't get owned that fast though due to shadow clones and various attacks that can momentarily blind the sharingan.

@Jenga, Rinnegan>MS is true but Jiraiya didn't beat Pain let alone Nagato so you can't simply claim Jiraiya to be above Itachi based on his fight with Pain.

 

[Dbale]

As people have said before Itachi was bullshitting. Theres no way jiraiya is beating itachi and kisame while protecting naruto and sasuke. Sage mode isn't even a factor because he won't have the time to summon those frogs and besides look at that hallway there's no way jiraiya could dodge an Amaterasu.

 

[LitzSabr]

I cannot believe the results of the poll,
only if Itachi didn't have dump fanboys

I know there is a rule against racism but i don't like people from germany. Just saying.

 

[9TailedKyuubi]

Close enough, Itachi wasn't going to harm a protector of the town he protected, Konoha.
