Shinobi x Assassin - Naruto fanfiction(COMPLETED)

Fact file : The legendary toad sage, Jiraiya

(A/N: This is supposed to contain information that Akame and Sasuke learn from reading Jiraiya's diary)

Jiraiya grew up in the village of under the tutelage of the Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. As a child, bragging about his exploits, Jiraiya made many attempts to either woo women or spy on them while they bathe in the hot springs.

While during a trip, he reverse summons himself to Mount Myōboku, where he learned Senjutsu from the Great Toad Sage who told him a prophecy he would someday have a student who can save the world or destroy it. During his time he became known as the "Toad Sage" as the result of his training under the Great Toad Sage to obtain , enabling him to toads as allies during battle.

As he grew older, Jiraiya and his two teammates, Tsunade and Orochimaru , collectively became known as the "Legendary Sannin" owing to their exemplary ninja abilities allowing them to endure a fight against Hanzo during the Second Shinobi War.

In the aftermath of the Second Shinobi War, Jiraiya met an orphan named Nagato from Amegakure, taking him and his friends Konan and Yahiko who later form the liberal organization Akatsuki, under his wing. He grew close to the three children while teaching them, and even wrote a book that was inspired by Nagato; The Tale of the Gutsy Ninja.

He eventually learned that Nagato possessed the coveted dōjutsu, Rinnegan which according to legend was possessed by only one other person, the Sage of the Six Paths, who was regarded as the father of all ninja, thus he initially believed that Nagato is the child of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy. However, after a few years, Jiraiya left them to let them pursue their own goals. He later believed that all of them had died in the following war, although only Yahiko actually perished during a trap by Amegakure's dictator, Hanzo, while Nagato and Konan went on to reform Akatsuki as a criminal organization under the control of Uchiha Madara.

Sometime later, Jiraiya became a mentor to Minato Namikaze after becoming a jōnin and told his student of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy. While The Tale of the Gutsy Ninja suffered from poor sales, Minato liked the book and asked Jiraiya to become the godfather of his soon-to-be-born son, as well as deciding to name his son after the book's protagonist, Naruto, in the hopes that the child would grow up to be like Jiraiya.

Minato's prowess and wisdom, combined with his eventual election as the Fourth Hokage, made Jiraiya believe that Minato is the child of the prophecy. However, his student eventually gave his life to protect Konoha from the Nine Tails' attack, making his prediction once again false. When Orochimaru betrayed Konoha, Jiraiya pursued and tried to convince him to return, but the latter refused and attacked Jiraiya, making the latter's attempt a failure.

For most of his adult life, though loyal to Konoha, Jiraiya periodically left the village to explore the world. Jiraiya returns to Konoha after long absences to report on information he has learned during his travels. Initially this information concerns Orochimaru's continued efforts to destroy Konoha, though eventually he also begins reporting on the Akatsuki. While traveling, Jiraiya wrote his experiences in love, particularly those with Tsunade, in his Make Out series of novels which have become a best seller and earned him vast wealth.

During some of his returns Jiraiya takes the time to train Naruto, teaching him his own signature abilities, and how to control Kurama. When his teacher, Hiruzen, who had resumed his duty as the Third Hokage since Minato's death, dies during an invasion by Orochimaru, Jiraiya is offered the position of Hokage, but Jiraiya thinks his inability to keep Orochimaru from becoming a criminal made him feel unworthy of the responsibility and instead offers to search for Tsunade so she could take the position, which he eventually succeeds on.

After Naruto's flawed attempt to retrieve Sasuke, Jiraiya decides to take the boy for a few years of training to make him strong enough to bring Sasuke back and to protect himself from the Akatsuki.

Jiraiya released Kurama's seal using a key entrusted to him by Minato, not expecting Naruto to lose control as a result. He informed Kakashi and Yamato about the threat Naruto could be when under the Nine Tails's influence by telling him of his near-death experiences when Naruto used four ninths of Kurama's power. To keep Naruto from participating in the new retrieve Sasuke related mission, Jiraiya offered to train him again, and took Naruto to Yugakure, the Village Hidden in Boiling Water.

After entrusting Naruto with the key to Kurama's seal, Jiraiya begins investigating the Akatsuki's leader Pain. In the course of his investigation leads him to battle Pain, recognizing him to be Nagato as he tries to kill his student to prevent the world's destruction before being overwhelmed by the Six Paths.

 At the battle's conclusion, thinking back throughout his life, Jiraiya realizes that Naruto was actually the boy foretold in the prophecy. Due to this, and remembering that it was his first novel that inspired Minato to name his son after the book's protagonist, Jiraiya mustered the strength to get up and write one last message. Before succumbing to his fatal wounds, Jiraiya sends the secret behind Nagato's Paths of Pain, along with a disabled Animal Path, to Naruto and the rest of Konoha to give them an edge. He then died without regret as he sinks into the sea; knowing that he did all he could for the future hero of the world.
