30+ Best Jiraiya Quotes From The Great Naruto Ninja
Gallery
Jiraiya is a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village, famous for his mastery over 'Sage Jutsu'.
In the Second Great Ninja War, he, along with his teammates Tsunade and Orochimaru, are given the title of the 'Legendary Sannin' by Hanzo of the Salamander of Hidden Rain Village. It is said that no shinobi alive can defeat the three of them together.
Jiraiya is not only a shinobi who could kill people faster than they could blink, he is also the famous author of 'Make-Out Tactics' series of novels.
Although he never became Hokage himself, turning down the proposal twice, he is the mentor that trained two generations of Leaf Village's Hokage. He not only trained Minato and Naruto, we even see him training Boruto for a short period of time.
His claim that although he has never been a parent, he would be awfully proud of Naruto if the latter were his son, shows his love for his Godson perfectly.
We cannot help but cry our eyes out when this great man dies fighting Pain to save the village and protect Naruto. In order to honor our favorite 'Ero Sennin', we have compiled a list of our favorite quotes by him.
