Remember when jiraya looked at Itachi and then Itachi took kisames sword and said "kisame run..."

Itachi is stronger

K1ngOfFand0m, Itachi only said that because he didn’t want to fight Jiraiya in a head to head confrontation, because it would end with everyone dying.

and he was not an enemy since itachi was doing everything for peace and he had just come to see sasuke if he was safe

Hell nah jraiya is stronger than itachi
