Was Jiraiya underestimated?

[NarutoX28]

At that point, he might as well just use generic Sharingan genjutsu.

I agree. His Sharingan Genjutsu practically overwhelms almost all of his opponents.

Lol you got solo'd on yo last thread and now you post this... Lol

Itachi didn't try to immobilize him so where did you get he couldn't from... Jiraya has no counter to tsukoyami or susano would wreck jiraya kow diff we also later find out itachi has yata and totsuka so how the **** can jiraya compete and kisame is a water god... He barely did a descent job against the pains, he ran from the aninal pain alone for 30 minutes of a 2 hour fight in real time and he faced 3 pains at once he got wrecked and when he faced all 6 he was shitted on...

He could have been caught in tsukoyami... Itachi didn't want to mind **** his old ass let alone kill konoha's best at the time while the village was coming off devastation and was rebuilding and had zero defense if someone wanted to come by and wreck

I love how itachi fanboys always:
-Assume they understand everything behind his reasoning like they are him or kishi.Am like dude, it's not YOUR damn manga
-Neat pick what's manga fact and what's not.they'll wave 'You need kekkai genkai and uchiha blood to break tsukyumi' at you and declare it final cause it's manga fact but deny scan wherw itachi explicitly states another character's superiority (Jiraiya and Madara)
-Argue like everyone is dumb enough to fall for genjutsu.Hashirama fought a more powerful opponent in madara and didn't fall for genjutsu once.Gai was able to face itachi without looking into his eyes once, so he wouldn't fall for it and the only reason kakashi did was because he thought he's sharingan couldn't get caught by it.oh and if tsukyumi is that supreme then please tell me why kabuto controlled itachi didn't just use it ti capture Naruto and Bee who kept contact with Itachi through out the fight!
-Claim itachi is only nerfed because of plot lol.this is damn as hell cause itachi exists only because of plot, He's not freaking real or an historical figure!!!!!!!

Itachi isn't even top 5, so give your hands a break and stop wanking

We witnessed that Tsukiyomi took heavy toll on Itachi that he had to rest for some time before using his Jutsu again...

As someone posted the scan where Itachi pointed out that it was a stalemate at best.
