Once a student of the Third Hokage, he, Orochimaru and Tsunade are known as the "Legendary Three Ninja" (Densetsu no Sannin?) or simply the "Sannin", while Jiraiya himself is known as the "Toad Hermit" (Gama Sennin?). Although his clumsiness at a young age was a lot like Naruto (the Third Hokage even telling him to be more like Orochimaru on occasion), Jiraiya became a genius ninja (his abilities are of an S-Class level). Jiraiya was the Jonin sensei of the Fourth Hokage and two other, as of yet unknown, Genin. After leaving Konoha, he became an author of adult novels, his most popular work being Make Out Paradise (Icha Icha Paradaisu?), which Kakashi Hatake enjoys. At this time he also began following the movements of his former teammate and deserter Orochimaru, as well as the organization known as Akatsuki. The kanji on Jiraiya's forehead protector (Abura) means "oil", which probably has to do with the usage of toad oil for medicine and his flame-oil attack with Gamabunta. Jiraiya's checkbooks reveal that he is fairly wealthy (Naruto exclaims that there are quite a few zeros at the end), most likely due to sales of the popular Icha Icha series. However, he is not above taking Naruto's own money-purse and spending it on sake and women. In the Naruto anime filler episode 177, Naruto ghostwrites one of Jiraiya's Icha Icha novels. The man it's delivered to at the end of the episode is extremely satisfied, meaning that Naruto is capable of writing in a style similar to Jiraiya, or that Jiraiya's writing is the same as that of a kid. Jiraiya is a self-proclaimed super-pervert and a frequent voyeurist, going so far as to create his Transparent Escape Technique so that he wouldn't get caught spying on naked women. He never actually hides his perversion, and even seems proud of it, as seen when he told the Third Hokage about it when he was still a child. Despite this, he doesn't like being called "Pervy sage" (Ero-sennin?, Pervert hermit or Erotic hermit) by Naruto in front of others. He has been caught peeping at least once when he was younger, by Tsunade. Tsunade, in her anger, beat Jiraiya within an inch of his life, breaking both his arms, six of his ribs, and rupturing a number of organs. This is apparently one of the only two instances that Jiraiya has been on the brink of death (the second, he explains, is when Naruto unleashes his four-tailed demon fox form during their training in the timeskip). Jiraiya's favorite foods are garlic root and fried chicken; his least favorite foods are kiwi and gratin. His hobby is "data-gathering" (which, in his case, means peeping on women and drinking sake). His favorite phrase is "free-spirited". |
