And since he has enough intelligence to deduce that the frogs' croaking doesn't suggest something good for him to happen, he'd do everything he can to stop Ma/Pa from completing their chant, regardless if he identifies their effords as sound genjutsu or no. Also, since these preparations immediately reveal users' location, Jiraya and ko have almost no chance to run away and safely hide somewhere. That's why I came to the conclusion that casting the Toad Chant on Itachi would be as easy as to successfully cast Tsukuyomi for the latter. Nope, as I already stated, Itachi would be surprised that Jiraiya is able to use such a powerful genjutsu like Nagato was. Jiraiya would not be hiding while the genjutsu is cast he would be fighting at the same time, even if Itachi realizes it is a genjutsu and tries to stop him, Jiraiya would be able to avoid and block Susanoo attacks long enough to cast the genjutsu. Tsukuyomi is short range, while toad chant is at all ranges with prep time.
