Okay so saying that Itachi goes super OOC and this happens I think given that Kisame and Itachi are such formidable Shinobi Jiraiya and Guy would probably have to exert themselves really damn seriously. There is perhaps a chance of stopping the Akatsuki due but not without extreme difficulty and this 2 v 2 battle would likely escalate into some serious high stakes. It really does depend on certain variables e.g. how bloodlusted is Itachi who for this scenario to take place would already have to be pretty OOC. There's also the debate regarding Itachi's choice to retreat i.e. some interpret his line as him admitting he wouldn't be able to defeat Jiraiya or just him not desiring further unnecessary battle.
