@Shishi Like I said he could've used different words if that's what he meant. And I'll give you the fact that he came from a battle but even so, he wasn't on the verge of collapsing and lords knows Kisame wasn't, so like I said it is about the words. And your right, it is an amazing feat that it'd a stalemate, but not for Itachi, but Jiraiya whi fought and survived against two powerful ninja such as them if it happened and according to Itachi's prediction. Now for Sage Mode, it is true it'd take some time to summon Ma and Pa but Jiraiya has plans against such as summoning Gamaken. While that will make a big target to hit with Amaterasu, he also has his hair techniques. As shown he can still use jutsus while charging up to summon them. If Itachi can get him not to be able to summon them then it is all over for Jiraiya, mind you this Itachi with no sickness but even so we don't know how much his chakra reserves but we know Jiraiya's are large, not that the amount of chakra decides the battle, but with Jiraiya in Sage Mode, the battle will drag out far longer and if anything Itachi would collapse from exhaustion.
