well, for one, there is no way for itachi to know how strong jiraya was, so Ill give u that. but maybe that's why he didn't want to fight. for all we know, itachi probably didn't even have susanoo at the time, so he would get taken out jiraya in a fight way faster than usual. and he also didn't know bout kisame's fusion thingy, so there's that.
