At the highlighted part, by who?. I read the Op's reply and he didnt come up with anything good therefore i didnt reply because i said in my original post that this will most likely be my last reply in that thread.
About the whole scenario, if you go back to that chapter, jiraiya looked directly into itachi's eyes (forgot to mention this). What is to say, he couldve used tsukuyomi that very moment and captured naruto. Instead of using it on sasuke.
Anyway the whole point of this thread was to state that just because a character has said something, shouldnt be brought into vs threads or taken absolute U_U
since you are so fond of copy paste here is another for you:
You keep posting same thing over and over and we will copy paste as well. Deal? now that's removing misconceptions alright.Blocked Jiraiya? I suggest you take a break from forum and go back to reading manga.

It was Sasuke , the brat, who asked him to stop and rushed to Itachi himself only to be get beaten within seconds and then the Akatsuki duo was trapped in the belly of toad.
Kisame told Itachi not to use his eye this soon again :

Naruto rushed forward and Kisame rushed after Naruto.

Kisame along with Samehada were useless next second.

I already showed Kisame didn't do anything besides scaring a kid Naruto.
Itachi used his Tsukoyomi and then Amaterasu and was tired. Even Kisame had warned him before about not using it twice on the same day. Unlike sage mode Sharingan is a costly tech and leads to blindness. You think he would be able to pull it off a third time without personal risk..That's an assumption with no back up from the manga.
You keep putting Itachi in Konoha to the Itachi as an edo equal. Naruto and Sasuke grew up in the time gap. Don't you think Itachi's capacities would also have been increased in that duration. He couldn't have been more than 16-18 at the time max.( He was ANBU captain at 13. Massacare took place and he had returned Konoha after three year. We don't know how long Itachi was captain before turning rogue). Jiraiya was already a veteron and sealed Amaterasu up. And Guy entered the scene soon after chasing Sasuke in his turn missing the duo by moments since they had run away.
Picking and chosing scene and dialogues according to ones convinience and rejecting if it doesn't suit them is not the way to analyse a character in a story.
Note: I am not stating any opinion on the VS battle in this or any other circumstances. The end result could go both ways- battles in Narutoverse depends on the circumstances on that particular moment and I let only Kishi have an opinion about it.
