Apart from the fact that he didnt eliminate them both...
Also if he knew itachis full power, how come he thought belly of the toad couldnt be opened and itachi did with amaterasu?
Also while not proven yet, most people agree as itachi was an akatsuki spy, he was the one leading information to Jiraiya.
Tsukyomi-
Mostly unavoidable
Jman fans say sage mode makes him immune because of natural energy
Confirmation-No, this has never been stated ever in the manga, or even hinted at, nowhere is sage mode even mentioned in defensive capability against genjutsu.
Amaterasu-
Mostly unavoidable
Jman fans say he can seal the fire. We all saw how quickly it spread on tobi (from shoulder to 3/4 of his body within the next panel, and i assume when youre on fire you dont wait for it to spread, so were talking a second here)
J man needs to get a scroll, open it up, get out a pen, write some shizz down, seal it, and all the while itachi is gonna stay still??
And Jman wont have been burnt to cinders by then?
...Please, grossly favourtism, itachi wins hands down on amaterasu.
The only person ever to avoid it is sasuke, and itachi didnt want it to get him anyway LOL.
Susanou-
Totally Unavoidable (until further proof arises)
Sword of totsuka (Extremely fast and effective, even orochimaru who fights jiraiya EQUALLY was owned by this technique)
Yatas mirror-makes itachi completely invincible.
This is where it simply gets hilarious.
Jamn is supposed to be able to fight itachi while never looking into his eyes (and itachi can cast very powerful genjutsu with fingers and limbs too anyway)
Avoid and seal blasts from amaterasu
Deal with itachis speed, which is definitely on par with jiraiyas
AND avoid totsuka sword with its few hundred foot reach, and have to somehow find a way to de-activate or get through a legendary item that deflects all attacks.
And apparently all this can be done with "sage mode" haha
even more hilarious is jiraiya hasnt even completed sage mode, unlike naruto.
And like ive said before
Jiraiya got owned by 4tailed jinchuriki
Itachi was sent to capture 9tails naruto
why do you all thik that is??
Jiraiya got owned by pain, i mean OWNED, and lets face it
Naruto has a better sage mode
He's got more chakra
He's got fuuton rasenshuriken, a long range jutsu, and more powerful than anything jiraiya has/had
pain was weakened, bleeding, and couldnt use god realm, naruto had 6 frogs helping him.
Naruto knew everything about pain from slugs, and even released 8/9 tails, AND STILL, nagato lived, and could have got away.
And apparently itachi cant beat jiraiya??
Pfft.
I dont care for databook, figures alone doesnt mean shit.
Jiraiya and itachi are of the same level in terms of jutsu skill and power, il agree, but itachi is far more of a super genius, plus his jutsus are all mostly unavoidable and are extremely effective.
Itachis tsukyomi was owning very skilled ninjas even of akatsuki level within seconds.
Itachi beats Jiraiya, theres no question.
Im not even an itachi fan, but its so blatantly obvious.
Personally Jman really isnt that great, hes on par with orochimaru, maybe even weaker than him (Jman nearly died against 4tail naruto, orochimaru lost an arm and then pissed off, technically orochimaru got away with less "damage)
And itachi owned oro..twice
