When Itachi was trying to hit Sasuke with Amaterasu he hit a wide area of the forest with it as well. If they're summoned all lined up like how Naruto or Ma and Pa(The old fusing toads on his shoulders) set them up, Itachi can just deal with them in a short amount of time. Even if they charge straight at him or from different side, he hits the front with Amaterasu blocks the others with Susanoo(I don't think its debatable to say any of the three frogs could beat Susanoo's defense), streches Amaterasu (like when he used Amaterasu on Sasuke) to hit the other two with it or just uses another batch, then Jiraiya is just left on his ones (If this is a battle to the death kind of thing I guess this doesn't apply but if this were in the Manga I wouldn't expect Jiraiya to use the toads at all since they would die from Amaterasu). Itachi is gonna be tired after this but Sasuke put up his Susanoo multiple times and could still fight someone like Danzo. Itachi just needs to keep pressure maybe with Taijutsu or a Hosenka no jutsu then drag him into Tsukuyomi. Itachi has ways to get the opponent into eye contact even if Jiraiya is avoiding it, his fight with Kakashi is an example. Itachi surely knows he doesn't have the stamina to fight Jiraiya long term but he makes up for it by keeping in close. Also sometimes shinobi slip up and make eye contact by accident like A and Bee. As for Jiraiya's stuck in the mud jutsu, I think it can be dodged since Itachi avoided Sasuke's Goryuka no jutsu by jumping out of the way when he was sick and I see him doing the same thing.

The terrain or area is important as well since if their are trees or somewhere Jiraiya can escape to, SM or the toads Genjutsu are great shouts for his win. I know he has Sharigan but Kabuto used Sage (sorta) Genjutsu and it worked albeit on an ET Itachi.

I don't want to create a huge argument but I guess I am still undecided. Just to let you know where I stand with a few point: I would say that Jiraiya Amaterasu fire sealing method is "portable" but takes time depending on the area of effect.(Obviously from my previous statement you could probably tell that I don't think Jiraiya would be quick enough to seal it if Amaterasu was used on the toads plus he would probably be charging for SM with his hands clapped) I don't think Amaterasu is instant but how Jiraiya would attack brings me to say that Itachi can hit him with it. In a straight line its easy for Itachi which is how he attacked one of the PoP otherwise I don't think he can break Susanoo from a different direction.
