I saw the new data book, and i got me thinking,Jiraiya met nagato 1st during the war and nagato was about
12 years old then Jiraiya trained nagato for 3 years if i remember correctly which should make him
15.

Soon after training ,jiraiya leaves and goes back to the village and becomes a leader of minatos genin group
so minato should be only 12.

If you go by the databook

minato dies at 24 ~ 17 years later he should be 41
nagato was 18 when minato died ~ so 17 years later 35

So minato is 6 years older then nagato according to the data book , when it should be that nagato is 3 years
older then minato.

If minato was really 6 years older then that would mean jiraiya meet and trained a 21 year old minato who was still a genin.

So nagato's real age should be 44 not 35


Sorry i couldn't explain it better guys lol :p

I don't understand as well how Nagato ended up being born after Minato(always used to think he was 1-2years older), but the databook said so, so no need to go against Kishi's manga

I always thought nagato was at least 2 years older than minato. Since jiraya considered nagato the first child of prophecy, then minato and finally naruto

This data book is really killing logic, by NV storyline Nagato should be older than Minato

We mostly saw a adult Minato with Jiraiya. When Minato saved Kushina Jiraiya was no where around and he was about 12-13

He was in the academy then, this should chronologically be after or during Jaraiya training Nagato

It was already revealed during the Pein arc by viz that Nagato/Konan were the same age and that Konan died when she was 32.

And Minato died when he was 22, if you follow the timeline of the Naruto series.

This isn't anything new.

But yeah... the databook timeline contradicts the manga's. Lol

Thats true ,jiraiya did consider nagato to be the 1st child of prophecy then minato.
That in itself should give a bit of a age gap between the 2

Where it did say that Jiraiya thought him to be the child of prophecy first? Why did he think Minato could be the one when Nagato had rinne? Doesn't it mean he thought it to be Minato because of his intelligence but then found about Nagato too?

I'm not sure excatly which chapter it said that nagato was the 1st child of prophecy but i remember the old sage toad telling jiraiya that he would be training/guiding the child of prophecy ,so when jiraiya meet nagato and saw his rinnegan he knew it had to be him.

Although after the war was over and meeting minato many years passed and there was no news of nagato ,so jiraiya thought nagato had died,so all his focus was now on minato , since minato showed extreme potential.

Nothing implied that Jiraiya was minato's first sensei.

When Jiraiya was tutoring Nagato, Minato was probably training with a chuunin teacher.

As soon as Jiraiya can back he could of been minato's jounin teacher.

Remember that minato took out some chuunin/jounin's that kidnapped Kushina.

No genin can pull that off (except naruto and Sasuke)

Nagato was THEEE child of prophecy.

Minato was simply someone Jman saw great potential in and who could be a force in the Shinobi world.

Most likely we assumed he was the first one.

you say nothing was implied that jiraiya was minatos 1st sensei ? what show have you been watching lol
I understand what you mean but it was shown that jiraiya was trained by the 3rd then jiraiya trained the 4th and 2 others
it was shown in a pedigree chart multiple times also.

Minato was very powerful at a young age so he really did defeat chuunin/jouinins that kidnaped kushina
naruto and sasuke arnt the only ones, itachi could have done it also.

If you go by the databook

minato dies at 24 ~ 17 years later he should be 41
nagato was 18 when minato died ~ so 17 years later 35

So minato is 6 years older then nagato according to the data book , when it should be that nagato is 3 years
older then minato.

If minato was really 6 years older then that would mean jiraiya meet and trained a 21 year old minato who was still a genin.

So nagato's real age should be 44 not 35


Sorry i couldn't explain it better guys lol :p

Didn't a previous data book list Minato's academy graduation age at 10?

It had Anko at 24 and this one has her at 28...so i don't thing past Info has been changed.

Does the data book confirm that Minato graduated at 10.

Jiraiya did think the rain trio had died

This isn't Jiraiya's order though...

It's Minato's, it could be that his later sensei is Jiraiya's second student.

Like naruto, he started off with Kakashi before graduating to Jiraiya.



Minato was very powerful at a young age so he really did defeat chuunin/jouinins that kidnaped kushina
naruto and sasuke arnt the only ones, itachi could have done it also.

Well Simone with the kage level wisdom at age 7 is no ordinary child.

Besides Shishui, his mentor, and being a gifted shinobi.

Itachi's an uchiha, that's all there is to it.
