still Itachi tried to avoid to look any suspicious to Kisame,he is not the kinda of guy to order someone to kill anyone,and I'm pretty sure that him and kisame could take Jiraya just fine,even kisame was confused of why they were running away.His statement of not even with back-ups they couldn't beat jiraya sounded more like an excuse to avoid suspicious.
