Jiraiya and Itachi are indeed closely tied. Itachi said he'd lose to Jiraiya but he also could've said it to avoid conflict. Either however, is not in the top 3.

Totsuka + Yata is extremely, extremely overrated. (because of the "invincible" part). Madara's Perfect Susanoo would make mincemeat out of Itachi's Susanoo. Minato, Obito would avoid it easily. Naruto and Sasuke would easily outlast Itachi. Anyone with EMS or Sage Mode would basically outlast Itachi.

Itachi only has MS, not EMS. MS is far more limited in it's use of powers (including Susanoo)
