I just had this epiphany......
Jiraiya and Orochimaru's last names haven't even been mentioned ONCE in the entire series?

Is there somekind of secret behind them?
Or did Kishi just screw up again?

Oro's parents were confirmed dead, and it seems they held nothing special.

Jiraiya is a maybe, although I don't think we'll get anything from that. I just don't think he wanted to give the sannin last names or complicated backstories. He connected Tsunade to the first Hokage, and that's about it. No idea who her parents are or anything beyond that, really.

Yep it is a secret that only true Naruto fans know (like me).

That sounds depressing to me.

But most of the big characters in Naruto have had last names.
And names, equal power.
People were afraid of Obito of the thought that he was truly Madara Uchiha.

What Erin said.

It's mainly just unimportant, I guess. It wouldn't add any story development to their last names.

Gaara Temari and Kankuro don't either. Hell, the 4th Kazekage doesn't even have a first name, does he?

And are Tenten, Rock Lee and Might Guy real names?

How would them not having a last name be Kishi screwing up?
Hanzō, Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, the entire Sound 4, Mū, Onoki, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Chiyo, Deidara, Sasori, etc. don't have last names either.

And so were the names of a lot of other characters; I believe it has to do with the fact that their last names are of little significance.

They're probably Senju, it would make sense since they both have ridiculous chakra

Neither has Tsunade's it just implied...that's it's Senju. Though it would take away the legendary part away from them, and they are based of the real Sannin.

jirayah cant be senju, she sage mode was crap,

I was thinking the same for the rest of Akatsuki (Kisame and Obito are exception of course). But they probably don't mean crap. Speaking of which, why does Sakura have a last name Haruno anyway? Nah just joking.
