Naruto was in Kurama Chakra Mode and Itachi as an Edo was tying him. Itachi was also tying Sage Mode Kabuto as an Edo in Taijutsu. Jiraiya in Sage Mode won't change much against Itachi period. Itachi not sick would have much more stamina. Probably not as much as Jiraiya regardless. But you need to realise that if Stamina was a winning factor then Shikamaru would have never beaten Temari in their fight because she had more than him AND long range wind attacks. Itachi is also a genius as was stated. Maybe he doesn't have a 200 IQ like Shikamaru but it's pretty damn close. Also like I said a million times before Tsukuyomi only lasts a second in real time and the whole somebody waking you up method does not work with it as was said in the beginning of Shippuden and in the end of part 1. Sage Mode or not, people helping or not. Jiraiya can't beat it. He also cannot overwhelm Itachi in Taijutsu. Only Stamina and Sealing Jutsu does Jiraiya out match him. Everywhere else its either Itachi wins or Jiraiya barely ties in Sage Mode.
