actually thats not what they said. kisame said that even though itachi would be ok against sum1 like jiraya, he himself could not take a sennin and was worried. to which itachi replied, that there was no need to fight him, and it would be putting them both in unnecessary danger, and they cudnt be sure that they would leave the battle undamaged. or sumthing like that. they never said jiraya cud BEAT them.

No actually they did say that Jiraiya could beat them. Kisame said that maybe itachi could fight him evenly but he could not. Itachi then said that even if we both fought him we would die. He then s aid that in a good( lucky instance) case they might be able to kill him but they would still die along with him. That even with more people it would be the same scenario.
So yeah by Itachis own Admission Jiraiya >>>>He and kisame together

Uh- no. No it's not.
How many times have Itachi and Jiraiya fought to the death, and used all of their most powerful moves?
If they haven't, then what they say is pointless. Same goes for Deidera and Sasori. Feats are infallible, characters aren't.
This is what Itach and Kisame said in the japanese version
Kisame : While you may be able to manage against him, I couldn't possibly...He's in a completely different level...
Itachi : Yeah... If we go at each other, well' either both be killed or at best, kill each other simultaneously.
Itachi: Even if we increased the numbers, that wouldn't change.
Kisame : I didn't expect the kid's gauge would be a legendary Sannin. With him as the opponent...the names of the Leaf Village's Uchiha Clan and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would be tarnished.
Itachi : Yeah, However... Any strong one has a weakness...
But anyway feats a meaningless as one person stated. Every fighter in Naruto fights differently. They don't all pull out their best moves every single figth and if one character states one is stronger or if the stats by Kishimoto say one character is stronger than they are.

Itachi and Pein haven't fought, but looking at their power set alone, it is safe to conclude that Pein >>>> Itachi.
And I'm 100% sure Pein is stronger than Itachi, and that Itachi dies like Jiraiya or even worse.
