Naruto Chapter 382: His Real Decision
Summary: Jiraiya is mortally wounded, but inspired by Naruto fighting spirit and the memory that the Fourth wanted Naruto to be like Jiraiya, Jiraiya wills himself to write Pain's true identity on his toad summon as his last act.

A moment of silence for the Great Jiraiya-sensei.

I know it's not confirmed, but if Jiraiya is revived in some way after that noble and bittersweet send-off, that would just be cruel. He was always one of my favorite characters for his complexity, a truly good-hearted person who could never quite win.
The flash-back was lovely, a quiet domestic moment between two legends and my already anxious heart was tugged hard learning that Jiraiya was Naruto's god-father. It adds so much more depth and insight into Jiraiya's motivations and interactions with Naruto in previous chapters. The tragedy for me is that this whole time Naruto had family and never knew - and Jiraiya was never acknowledged by Naruto as family (that honor is reserved for Iruka an Sasuke) even though Jiraiya could arguably have given him the most.
May you find peace in death and honor in your legacy.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
At least he had his epiphany about the proper child of prophecy. But poor Tsunade, everybody goes and dies on her. Maybe he'll just be incredibly hurt, or retire, or something. Maybe the Force will bring him back (I remain conviced that the whole "chakra" thing is actually a Buddhist Force thing. The swirly black Toggle Coats of Evil only reinforce the impression.) as a ghost, or a toad, or something. Here's hoping.
