SM Jiraiya can barely beat Edo Itachi, but I doubt he can beat EMS Sasuke. Jiraiya has chance because of Sound Genjutsu. EMS Sasuke=/<BM+SM Naruto; SM Jiraiya<BM+SM Naruto. If Sasuke can use PS this battle won't be interesting. Though I do agree Sasuke has surpassed Itachi in certain aspects, we have to remember that in part 2, Itachi was busy dying from a terminal illness and was also suffering from overuse of the Mangekyo, meaning we never saw Itachi at full power and obviously his full potential.

Also, Sasuke is fast thanks to his skillful use of the body flicker technique, but he isn't untouchable, as proven by several characters in the series. It can't be said that Sasuke will kill Jiraiya before he enters SM, since there is no real evidence for this. SM Jiraiya can beat Prime Itachi not just Edo Itachi.

Jiraiya has a better chance than most to beat Sasuke because of his versatile skill set, not just his sound genjutsu, heck one of his jutsu creates an entire swamp. EMS Sasuke has never been shown to be able to use PS by himself, so it might not be possible to include PS, but Jiraiya has jutsu that can deal with Susanoo. I see Sasuke just trying to Amaterasu everything while hiding in his Susanoo, while Jiraiya counters with his own jutsu, fire bombs, toad oil etc.

P.S. Who has the more stamina and chakra again? what is your prove that jiraya have more stamina and chakra than sasuke?he fought agains the 4 kages,danzou and little with naruto,sasuke's susanoo is much more dangerous than itachi's susanoo.susanoo's arrow is extremely fast,jiraya won't be able to use sage mode,sasuke wouldn't allow it,he would just spam amateratsu on the frogs.Although I hate sasuke I believe that EMS sasuke is much stronger than itachi was in his lifetime.
