1. Frogs make genjutsu meaningless.
2. Earth style: hell swamp counters susanoo with mirror. Its a swamp so there is nothing for Yata to defend against. Itachi is molasses in his susanoo.
3. Itachi has no counter for frog song.
4. In SM, jiraiya will wreck itachi in taijutsu.
5. SM needs prep time right? Reverse summoning. Now SM prep time is a moot point.
6. Amateratsu may be his only chance but I'm not convinced. The raikage continued to attack sasuke with a burning hand. Jiraiya has fire sealing scrolls.
7. Toad mouth trap- if jiraiya chooses to start with this, itachi will need to use about 25% of his chakra to use Amateratsu to get free.
Sorry but I don't see how itachi is winning this fight.
