it depends when they fought, if you look to when itachi fought sasuke he was already about to die, it even said it, if he fought him then i think jiraiya could of stood a chance, if it was before he was seriously sick itachi would of raped house.
Well it does take time for him to go into sage mode but he has two things that protect while it happens a giant toad and a barrier.Jiraiya: Sannin, Sage, Perverted
Sage Mode: Takes a long time into but incredible speed and strength
Genjutsu: Illusion by sound. Requires Ma and Pa and takes a long time to sync voices. Would knock Itachi out if unleashed.
Toad Summons: Strong but still are only summons and are not really enough to hold out against top class ninjas
Toad Stomach: Easily Burn through by Amaterasu.
-----------------------------------------------
Itachi: Annihilator of the Uchiha Clan, Head of ANBU, Child Prodigy
Sharingan: Allows copying of moves and learns how the technique works. Allows for accurate vision. Allows the use of the mangeko sharingan powers.
Mangeko Sharingan:Causes blindness after prolonged use.
-Tsukuyomi: Time displacement Genejutsu by eye contact. Can only be stopped by another sharingan user. Very fast!
-Amaterasu: Instant black flames that burn everything in the users sight. Can be sealed by Jiraiya but takes a long time to seal. (scroll of flame sealing)
-Susanoo: Invincible Shield of reflection, Sealing Sword. Ultimate Defense and Offense.
The poll asks who would win at their full power which excludes Itachis sickness and blindness. We have seen Jiraiya fight at his full power but not Itachi's. Both ninjas have very strong techniques but I believe that Itachi's are all faster. The longer the battle goes for, the greater the advantage Jiraya has. Itachi is like a nuker while Jiraiya needs charge time. In the ninja world there a many ninjas, I believe that there is sort of a rock, paper, scissor system. Some ninjas are better than others because of there different styles but would get smashed by others on lower skills.
I personally believe that Itachi would win because Jiraiya would not have enough time to get what he need together. However the price to pay for such power is the light from Itachis eyes. A full powered Itachi would be one that didn't care about Sasuke and just take his eyes. He would be way stronger that Sasuke's with his.
-Sannin means nothing because it is only a title.
your facts = TOP NOTCH!Im speaking for Itachi with facts because when Madara was talking to Sasuke about Itachi's true story he included that he loved his clan very much but he loved the village even more thats why he assassinated his clan with the exception of Sasuke.
Itachi was forced to choose between Clan or village and choose the village so why would he want to cripple Konoha's military power by taking out one of their best shinobi.
Think about it after all Every konoha shinobi he encountered he spared.
Kurenai, itachi could have killed her when they first met easily.
Itachi could have also killed Asuma after he was done with kurenai.
Itachi could have killed kakashi on both occasions they met but just left.
And itachi could have killed Jiraiya when he trapped them in the toads mouth.
Itachi could have killed Naruto or captured him every time they encountered.
Itachi could have killed a Sasuke on three seperate occasions but spared him due to him being his beloved little brother.
So before you say im talking out of my ass reread the entire manga and see all the events i've typed up for and see that itachi could have raped the konoha ninja he encountered.
Your obviously a noob!!! And your not gonna prove to me otherwise unless you have a logical explanation of why Jiraiya would kill Itachi.
So before
well how about all those idiots that thought madara was seriously the biggest and baddest thing ever. til the 4th beat his ass. all those madara/uchiha-tards were saying "dur his space/time is better than minato's...kakashi said so.." yeah then minato beat him in speed(said directly by kishi himself). so the uchiha-tards will always be around saying "MS/EMS can never lose" well as far as I'm concerned....madara lost to the 1st hokage...how pathetic! 1st hokage is just a really powerful version of yamato. nothing more. and madara lost WITH EMS!Jiraya would win
itachi sayd so
even pain said that if jiraya knew hes secret he would have lost
Itachi has strong techniques but in my opinion i repeat in MY OPINION not strong enough for Jiraya
Experience>Strong techniques
Jiraya is old and pervert and acts like an idiot sometimes but when he gets serious he is one of the strongest
Its just that some ppl like itachi so much they cant accept theyr hero losing
Just like madara vs 4th hokage they all say the 4th beat the crap out of madara but he only hit madara with a rasengan and that was it nothing more
Jiraya>itachi
Madara>4th ( i know it has nothing to do with the thread)
In the ninja world there a many ninjas, I believe that there is sort of a rock, paper, scissor system. Some ninjas are better than others because of there different styles but would get smashed by others on lower skills.
This is kind of what I was thinking. If someone like Gai knew about how to fight the Sharingan, don't you think someone as experienced as Jiraiya would know the same thing?Also if Gai knew to follow Itachi's feet to fight him don't you think some one like Jiraiya would know not to look into his eyes and fingers? Yeah his genjitsu is amazing but it won't do any good if the guy he is fighting wont fall for it.
Well Sannin was given to them for being the 3 strongest shinobi during the 2nd ninja world war most likely besides Hanzou and Hiruzen, of course.Also Sannin pretty much stands for s-class ninja they are at the kage level
Ah dude you're talking nonsense... Nagato is Third of the six path (I mean third with rinnengan, not not trully Sage like Madara and Rikudou sennin).. Rinnengan is way more powerfull that Sharingan or even Mangenkyo Sharingan.. And pain is way more faster and stronger, and pain do Almighty push, Universall pull and other that jutsu style which with Planetary D can defeat even susanoo I think.Itachi would definately win since we can guess Jiraiya and Orochimaru are the same level and Oro said Itachi was more powerfull than him. I think Nagato and Itachi where the same level(would love to see them fight) and Jiraiya lost to Nagato. But Itachi did say by facing him it would drag the Uchiha and the seven swordsmens names through the mud.
Jiraiya lost to Pain. If Itachi is stronger than pain, then Itachi is also stronger than Jiraiya. But Pain IS stronger than Itachi.
Jiraiya admitted that if you are against a sharingan, you only have 2 oppertunitys.
1 You have to be 2 to defeat him
2 YOU RUN!!
Not when Jiraiya was growing upI agree with Cosmic Zombie. The senju fought the Uchiha all the time. The only difference is that they had a lot of practice doing it. Now compare that to now, there are so few people with the sharingan it is very hard to get any practice.
