Itachi was able to instantly burn a hole through the mountain toad, so Jiraiya and his toads would not last long enough to use the 'fire seal'.

Sasuke at that point in the series was one of the fastest characters in the series, so I don't see how Jiraiya would be able to dodge the ameterasu (at most, Jiraiya would try run and then be hit just like Sasuke). Yeah, but he has Ma and Pa to help him. Toads can give him the scroll.
