While I don't disagree that itachi's genjutsu prowess would be a problem it's also true that itachi commented that even if he and kisame fought jiraiya together they would be able to tie him at best. Plus the only reason jiraiya had such a hard time against the six paths was because he didn't fully understand what he has up against. I am almost certain that if jiraiya fought itachi and naruto fought nagato jiraiya and naruto could win. But if itachi and nagato fight as a team jiraiya and naruto would have a much harde time of it. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if nagato refused to fight either jiraiya or naruto because of their being his old sensei and sibling student respectively. Plus itachi is in narutos debt for reforming sasuke so it would be either the most intense battle since naruto snd sasuke at the final valley or a very boring one because of one sides refusal to fight
