About
As a child, Jiraiya and his former teammates, Orochimaru and Tsunade, were students of the Third Hokage. After leaving the Third's tutelage, he traveled the world and discovered the residence of the toads, who trained him to call upon them in battle. During this time a prophecy concerning Jiraiya was told, dictating that he would travel the world while writing a book and meet a child who would either revolutionize or destroy the world. During his travels, Jiraiya and his former teammates fought with Hanzo, who rewarded their ability to survive his attacks through the title of "Legendary Three Ninja" (伝説の三忍, Densetsu no Sannin). Soon after this Jiraiya met Nagato, a boy he believed to be the child from the prophecy. Jiraiya trained Nagato and his friends, hoping to steer the boy down the path of good before returning to Konoha.
Upon his return, Jiraiya became the sensei of Minato Namikaze and two other unknown Genin. Years later, when Orochimaru betrayed Konoha and fled the village, Jiraiya pursued him, trying to convince his friend to come back. He failed in his attempt and resumed his travels of the world, wanting to follow Orochimaru's movements as well as the organization Orochimaru eventually joined, Akatsuki. Sometime around this time, Jiraiya was made the godfather of Naruto Uzumaki by Minato and Kushina Uzumaki because they decided to name him after the lead character in Jiraiya's first book.
