Jiraiya was one of the main characters in the Naruto series. He had an extremely important role to play. Jiraiya was one of the students of Hiruzen Sarutobi. He acquired fame by becoming one of the Legendary Sannin of Konohagakure, during the Second Great Ninja War.
Jiraiya was offered the spot of Hokage twice, and would’ve been offered it again if he was alive. His role was, however, always a dependent one. Jiraiya’s destiny in life was to find the Child of Prophecy, and train him for the better or the worse of the world. That had been his main goal.
He trained some amazing students in Minato Namikaze, who eventually became the Yondaime, Nagato Uzumaki, Yahiko, Konan, and of course, Naruto Uzumaki. You could say he had an extremely important role to play in Naruto, before and even after his death.
Yes, I’m sure most of you are aware that Jiraiya Sensei died fighting Pain at Amegakure. Many wonder why he was actually killed off, and why Kishimoto went that way. So I’m going to answer that question for you.
Well first of all you could say that Jiraiya died to hype Pain up. But is that really it? Could they not have used some other Ninja to do that? Yeah. Definitely. For me, that’s not it. Jiraiya’s search for the Child of Prophecy made sure that his role was only to guide the Child of Prophecy, nothing more.
It is actually pretty common. When a mentor dies, its mainly because it’s time for the main character to step out of the shell, and put a foot in the real world.
Jiraiya’s death did the exact same thing for Naruto. It was time Naruto showed some growth, and be strong enough to take matters in his own hands. By witnessing the death of his master, Naruto became stronger, learned the Sage Mode, and gained amazing powers and hero status within the Hidden Leaf Village. But that is not all. In fact, this is not even the real reason why I believe Jiraiya had to die.
The real reason I believe Jiraiya HAD to die, was for the sake of Naruto’s ideology. Yep. The very ideology that he is using to run the world right now. Naruto didn’t know what true pain was. He didn’t know hatred, he didn’t know despair.
Once Jiraiya died, he understood all those things. At first, Naruto wanted revenge. But, by reading Jiraiya’s books and seeing the way he lived, Naruto finally grew up. He understood what it means to hurt others, and what the cycle of hatred actually was.
This was, by far, the most important thing that Naruto ever learned. It is what helped him defeat Nagato, Obito and many other characters. Jiraiya’s death, for me, was used as way for Naruto to mature both physically and mentally, and to finally accept that the hatred cycle needed to be broken. After his death, Naruto was a changed person, and he became someone you could depend on. That was the most impressive thing about him. Do you agree with my reasoning?

Naruto Creator Reveals In An Interview If Naruto Will Die In Boruto
This is the question that has been bothering a lot of people, debates, discussions and controversies also raised as well. But this time we get to hear it from the horse’s mouth. We all saw it from Boruto’s first episode when Konoha has met its destruction once again. And Kawaki and Boruto’s conversation twisted the things to the worst possible outcome. With many believing the wors end for the seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki.
This year’s Shonen Jump’s Interview with Naruto’s creator, Masashi Kishimoto, has had him reveal if Naruto is going to be completely removed from Boruto’s plot. As we all know it, the next generations is a story about Boruto.
Meaning that it should not focus much on Naruto. So he might have to make way for Boruto to showcase his ninja way. The same applies to the rest of Konoha 11 as well. So let us hear what Kishimoto thinks about this issue.
“I think it’s okay if it [Boruto] isn’t really bound to Naruto. The time period is different and because various original elements are mixed in with the setting…I think I’d like it done with freedom,” Those where his words, as he said it. He further added that “Because it’s Naruto, I think it’s also okay if this character that’s always been around died [in Boruto]. What could this really imply?
The statement is kind of ambiguous, as we not really sure whether when he referred to the death of Naruto meant the Franchise or the Character. You would realise that the franchise is changing from Naruto to Boruto through the road to Boruto project.
So the death of Naruto might also refer to this revolutionary change. This is kind of a testament to Kawaki’s quote when he said that the era of Shinobi is over.
As the interview carried on, he talked about how the death of a character could add weight to the plot later on, Just like what we saw when Jiraiya died. Naruto trained to become a Sage master in a very short of time. It was where he leaped from Jounin to a professional sage master. He also added that it could be troublesome of characters dies from explosions or stray projectiles. A situation similar to that of Neji’s death. Its no wonder why most fans where irritated when he just died like that.
