Jiraiya (自来也 or 児雷也 ? , literally "Young
Thunder" [1] ), originally known as Ogata Shuma
Hiroyuki , is the title character of the Japanese
folk tale Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari (児雷也豪
傑物語 ? , "The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya"). He
is a ninja who uses shapeshifting magic to morph
into a gigantic toad. As the heir of a powerful
clan in Kyūshū of the same name, Jiraiya fell in
love with Tsunade (綱手), a beautiful young
maiden who masters slug magic. His arch-enemy
was his one-time follower Yashagorō (夜叉五郎),
later known as Orochimaru (大蛇丸), a master
of serpent magic (the kanji 大蛇 literally mean
"giant snake" or "serpent").

Yeah, I knew that. You can check out the names of the Mangekyō Sharingan's techniques, such as Amaterasu, Susano'o, Izanagi, and see their connections. . . I found it very interesting. :yeah:
