Ninja Of War wrote: Just had a thought, Gamabunta was able to go toe-to-toe with Shukaku, a tailed beast. He was able to suppress full sized Kurama. Therefore, Jiraiya summoning him will be more than enough to deal with Itachi's Susanoo. He alone could counter all of Susanoo's ranged techniques, also, Gamabunta carries a giant sword, meaning the TB won't be a problem. As I see it, Gamabunta can just cut off the Susanoo arm that holds the guard of the TB, maybe even then use it against Itachi himself lol.

All of this leads me to believe Jiraiya would win this fight.

I am curious to hear everyone's thoughts on how Gamabunta would be more than a match for Itachi's Susanoo. Now that we know that the YM isn't omni-directional and does not change size, many of Jiraiya's techniques would rek Itachi. Just had another thought, it might be possible for Jiraiya to develop a suppression seal, like the one he developed for Naruto, to suppress the power of the Sharingan.
