@AsianReaper,

As far as Kisame was concerned, Itachi's reason for being there, was to capture Naruto. Itachi telling Kisame that it would take too long to fight Jiraiya wouldn't fly.

Itachi said only he could surpass Madara, is that true?

If we can't trust the english in the english translation, than there's no point in arguing about any of this.

Madara can absorb ninjutsu, Jiraiya can't. Jiraiya also doesn't have armor, he's wearing clothing. Do you seriously believe Jiraiya can take out a brush and a scroll, while on fire? That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard. What exactly is Itachi doing while Jiraiya takes his time to write on this scroll?

My argument is that it's possible that my translation is wrong, but it's also possible your translation is wrong.
