Itachi is a pacifist, he doesn’t fight unless he feels threatened, seems simple enough to me.

You guys do realize that Itachi is actually the good guy along by now, right? I mean, Itachi could defeat Jiraiya, but that would ruin all of the palns he made.

Itachi WOULD have defeated Jiraiya back then if only he was at full power. There are many reasons why he run away from J-man.

1. He wasnt after the Kyuubi, it was Danzo.
2. He didnt want to capture Naruto since he wanted to delay Madaras rise to
power…
3. He was heavily exhausted from repeated usage of the MS(proven when he
deactivated his sharingan after their escape)
4. He didnt want to catch the attention of the entire village(Jiraiya’s
caliber was such that he could have pushed Itachi to use his most powerful
techniques – imagine Jiraiya summoning Gamabunta, and Itachi Susano-O, in
that very place(he warned Kisame earlier not to overdo things as Kisame’s
jutsu can be very eye catching)
5. he was after all a good guy

Reasons why he could have defeated Jiraiya:
1. Jiraiya is weak in genjutsu, which Itachi is renowned for
2. Itachi has techiques that are so powerful that they are named after
Deities
3. Susano-0 can deflect any attack(also defeated Orochimaru faster than the
can blink…

i think since jiraya has sage techniques (which is far stronger than any of orochimaru’s jutsu) itachi didn’t take any chances of losing. but it seems that itachi really didn’t want to catch naruto since he wasn’t a bad guy after all

itachi didn’t fight jiraiya because he’s really a good guy and didn’t want to hurt him. that’s all..

man so many sharangin lovers… if only they take that pride away they could see clearly the reasons why things happened the way they did…

as someone said up there, you need to over power someone to capture them. but if you were to try and kill em all you really need is to be a little bit weaker then them but with an intent to kill.

so if it were on the playground, kinda like a big bully pushin the little kid around for fun and suddenly the little kid pulls out a bat and smacks the bully. though we know who would have won had the bully wanted to hurt the kid, the kid won because he wanted to hurt the bully.

anyways, oro’s abilities tower over the other sennans, as it took two of them to fend off oro (without arms.) and plus jaraiya was always being bullied and beaten by oro when they were younger.

i think der is something in jiraiya that we dont know…. itachi said himself that he himself will have a hard time fighting jiraiya and they might kill each other at the end….. jiraiya can even beat pein one on one…..

Well to me it seems that Jirayia is in fact the strongest Sannin. One of the earliest glimpses of that is when Jiraiya was able to summon Gamabunta even when he had virtually no control, and could only focus *little* amounts of chakra. Even with this *little* amount; he was able to summon Bunta. That alone should speak volumes on the chakra capacity that he has. Also, Itachi was not but so weakened after he attacked Kakashi; the most he could have lost is 20-30% of his chakra; if that. Remember, that his clone could have used the Mangekyou eye; but it would have left it without suitable chakra to combat right? And the clone had roughly how much of Itachi’s chakra? A third. So even with Itachi at near maximum strength; he shouldn’t have had but so much trouble dealing with Jiraiya if he is in fact that strong. On top of that; Kisame was at virtually full strength; and even with this fact Itachi said that they would more than likely both die trying to fight Jiraiya. Also; Sasuke’s sharingan allowed him to automatically reverse Orochimaru’s technique; it wasn’t so much sasuke’s strength; but the inheret ability of his Doujutsu to fend off the attack; combined with Orochimaru’s *severely* weakened state. After which Sasuke absorbed Orochimaru. So using this as a basis; we can conclude that Itachi so easily fended off Orochimaru becuase of the sharingan; not neccesarily because he was so much stronger than him.

That makes no sense. Itachi told Kisame plain and simple. If they were to fight Jiraiya then in the best case scenario they would kill him as well as dying themselves. He also said even if they had 100 more men it would not change that result. And someone posted it earlier and i agree with them that Oro didn’t want to harm the body because he wanted it as his container.

i think that itachi just tried to stick to his mission, he didnt want any interference so he played it off so every one thought jiraiya could win and make it look like he ran away, so he could get back to the mission at hand

Jiraiya will defeat that body of pein! also agree with the theory said by FeStealth maybe Itachi didnt kill Uchiha clan and its just preparing Sasuke.

if you read the latest manga(375 i think), jiraiya has a toad form thats allows him to summon two aditional elder toads basically attached to his neck.
i’m guessing that itachi would have trouble using genjutsu on three different minds, seeing as though he gets exhuasted from using mangekyou just twice. (mangekyou probably being his only option. after all, this IS the great jiraiya, one of the legendary sannin)
ninjutsu and genjutsu are probably out of the question because as stated earlier, this IS jiraiya we’re talking about. so basically thats my reasoning.
