but i doubt that sasuke wins, jiraya can seal amaterasu and the only way to be able to hit SM-jiraya is via susanoo-arrows, a few of them and sasuke is blind (or out of chakra)... sure Jiraiya can seal Amaterasu, but that would require him to first take his scroll out, concentrate on making the right seals, then activate it, I just don't see him being able to make the scroll in time so that he doesn't burn to death, sure he could have them before hand, but if we're giving Jiraiya prep time it's only fair to give Itachi prep time as well. and besides Jiraiya isn't nearly fast enough to dodge Amaterasu and the only thing he has that could allow him to survive it is a scroll he doesn't have time to prepare while being burned alive. From Sasuke vs Itachi, Itachi's Amaterasu was not instantaneous as it required him a moment to activate it, plus Jiraiya has sage mode, which grants him enhanced sensory abilities which means he could most likely dodge a non-instantaneous Amaterasu. For the Tsukuyomi, all that Jiraiya needs is a partner that can disturb his chakra, which he does have in his most powerful sage mode(himself + two toads). Putting all of there other abilities aside this battle would come down to who has the most stamina, since Jiraiya has more than Itachi it's Jiraiya's win Amaterasu's speed has always been inconsistent at best during the fight against Nagato when Itachi used amaterasu against the multi headed dog it was instantaneous, but in most other cases it's not. besides if Sasuke can't dodge amaterasu despite being at the time one of the faster characters I highly doubt that Jiraiya would be able to dodge it even in sage mode due to being nowhere near as fast as Sasuke.
