^Slight correction, Jiraiya did have a bit of intel on Itachi on their first meeting.

Interesting battle, however I think it's quite unfair to limit Jiraiya on his main form of combat, i.e. summoning large toads. We know his abilities revolve around toad cooperation and summoning. So this restriction feels very unlike Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's firepower is certainly top notch. One of his techniques literally creates a swamp. Jiraiya certainly has the superior endurance, he has SM, so he must have. Individually, Kakuza's 'hearts' don't pack enough power, they also rely on collaboration techniques to increase their power.
