You read the title, lets begin.
Nagato, Minato and yes even Naruto all thought they were the savior of the world, they were WRONG.
The savior of the world is a person chosen by a prophecy, and
Now prophecies, like most things that are philosophical in nature, are
So Jiraiya couldn't have chosen the right person because he never truly fulfilled his end of the prophecy, nor did any of his 3 candidates.
It’s a lot of build-up I know, but trust me it all ties in.
All of Jiraiya picks were wrong because none of them fulfilled their part of the prophecy, not one of them ‘brought about a great change the likes of which the world has never seen before.’ Now let’s analyze each of Jiraiyas picks, and see what they’ve achieved. Minato, who was Jiraiyas 1st pick, who was a natural genius, who single-handedly defeated 1000 enemy shinobi and ended a war, who went on to become 4th hokage, still didn’t achieve anything on the scale predicted in the prophecy. That doesn’t sound like pioneered change. Jiraiya’s 2nd choice, Nagato, who was chosen because he had the rinnegan, who became misguided, who later became the leader of the akatsuki, who then attacked the leaf, who got manipulated by Obito, still didn’t bring about the level of change foretold by Gamamaru. Then we have Naruto, Jiraiya’s 3rd pick, who’s a jinchuriki, who defeated pain, who revived ninshu during the war, who gained six paths sage mode, who resealed Kaguya and also ended a war, who kept his promise and brought back Sasuke to the leaf(even if for a short time), and who achieved his dream and became hokage, still didn’t do anything that was new, or on a grander scale than anything before. Ninshu isn't a new concept and has existed for a long time. Also, out of all his feats he still didn’t raise the overall bar considering characters such as Hagormo and Hamura and Kaguya. So again by definition of what the child of prophecy was supposed to do, we clearly see that they all failed to create change on a big enough scale that was entirely different from anything before.
Now as I said earlier, prophecies can be interpreted in several ways, and dreams in general are often ambiguous. So in episode 8 of the boruto anime, we were given a new prophecy that was also delivered and interpreted from

So a while back in the manga, when Jiraiya was still in his prime, he was summoned by the elder toad Gamamaru who had a dream. In this dream Jiraiya was an extremely capable shinobi, and a pervert. Jiraiya then became a leader and a sensei who acquired students, one of which will one day bring a great change to world. The nature of this change could be positive or negative, but regardless of the outcome it will be on scale greater than ‘this world has never seen before’(Keep this in mind, it is the crux of this post). On top of that, Jiraiya learns that he will be the one to GUIDE this pending change, meaning whichever one of his student Jiraiya picks to become this prophecy child, that choice ultimately decides whether the world will be saved or doomed. Jiraiya simply didn’t know where to start so he asks Gamamaru what to do, basically asking how does he go about finding the child of prophecy? Gamamaru’s responds by telling him what took place in his dream, jiraiya walked around the world as an author, writing many books. So that’s what he told Jiraiya to do, he told him to travel as far and wide as possible, ‘seeing all things in this universe.’ Jiraiya then asks if any of his previous previous prophecies ever end up happening. Ironically Gamamaru says never, then instantly recalls one of his early prophecies, which seemingly reflected the current situation Jiraiya was in. This was enough to convince Jiraiya that Gamamarus prophecies do come true, and that he himself is a child of prophecy. Now prophecies, like most things that are philosophical in nature, are

, leaving room for multiple interpretations. Prime example is when

because of how he interpreted the stone tablet that was written and left behind by Hagoromo. Jiraiya essentially made the same mistake as Madara did with both of the prophecies given to him by Gamamru. Furthermore he had 3 students who he thought one day would each become the savior of the world, 3 different interpretations. Still the question remains, why were his choices wrong? And in Jiraiya’s defense, he did almost everything he could’ve, he followed Gamamaru’s blueprint closely. Jiraiya became a sanin, 1 of 3 legendary shinobi and known figures of strength throughout the entire shinobi world, he continued in his pervy ways by spying on bathing women, using that as material for writing his adult books. He even started travelling and going on missions(1,839 total), bringing his students with him. So we see he did everything he was supposed to according to Gamamarus dream, everything except for one. Gamamaru specifically told him to do as much travelling as possible, ‘seeing all things in this universe.’ Jiraiya unfortunately failed to do this, as he spent all his time while still alive, on earth. So Jiraiya couldn't have chosen the right person because he never truly fulfilled his end of the prophecy, nor did any of his 3 candidates.

, and hopefully a brother or sister 2 for everybody else in Christ, I will always love the beautiful journey of our beloved Warrior and Rep 4 Yeshua, Nanadaime!) GodAbba Jiraiya accomplished and did everything he was prophesied and spoken over to do, And he as we all are many of us were able to see realized that for the ninja world we love Naruto Uzumaki is the one Boruto has great ability and definitely shows in but he wasn't the one Gamamaru told Jiraiya he would watch over !) Minato and Nagato would ultimately lay down their lives believing in Naruto and a burrito as one of his children gifts to receive the blessings and beam get out!) every other Savior in this ninja universe and world would approve not to be the one whether it was because like the fourth and Hagaromo they laid down their lives or like Madara Nagato and Obito they ended up going down the wrong path just waiting for the light to save them!-) #LightAlwaysWins!)
