As far as i recall, in part 1 Kishimoto intended for Itachi to be a legitimate bad guy. He later on decided to make him "good" with his BS twist that quite frankly didn't make any sense for me all this time. So he had no trouble or regrets in part 1 facing other Konoha shinobi, especially Jiraiya. Itachi's word (if we talk strictly PART 1) were legit at the time.He did fear Jiraiya. : "If we were to fight him, we would all die". The fact that they suddenly changed the power levels in part 2 is another story...
