you asked me this: "why would Itachi face Naruto head on in the hotel and distract Jiraiya??"

i said to avoid confrontation. but this doesn't mean itachi was scared or anything, it was to avoid unnecessary fights, so itachi is playing it smart and safe. i mean, itachi is strong and all, but fighting a sannin isn't good for you even if you're itachi.
