He probably did'nt want to make it obvious that he was.......everyone knew about jiraiya being minato's sensei, they would have found out about naruto's connection to the 4th and that would have endangered him.
Why would it matter if he was the 4th's son? is the hokage not allowed to have children? They all knew he was the host of the 9-tails anyway so why would it hurt to be known as the 4th's son, who was being watched over by Jiraiya of the legendary sannin? Naruto being known as the 4th's son would not endanger him any more than being the host of the 9-tailed fox, and having Jiraya there would only further ensure his protection.
well as long as he was traveling the world its okay to abandon the orphaned son of his favorite pupil, who he saw as a son. [insert sarcasm here]
He was off writing adult books. His main book, which he wrote because of the toad sage was "The tale of the Gutsy ninja". He can gather information while still raising a child. Ninja go on missions all the time, and it could have been the same with Jiraiya.
the point is that he agreed to be Naruto's godparent. Depressed or not, he failed that obligation by dissapearing until naruto was 10.
He did, but they were not his godparents, Jaraya was. I know he felt he had obligations to uphold, but he could have taken naruto with him.
It's not written anywhere that jinchurrikki have to go through that. The 1st's wife told kushina that in order to host a tailed beast, the vessel must be filled with love. Jaraiya missed to opportunity to raise a great ninja. Just think how much more skilled naruto would be if he was raised by jaraiya
in the end he did his part. I agree.doing his research maybe.
maybe he was waiting for the right moment to appear before naruto.
in any case jman did train naruto at the end.
LOL me too. He was pretty awesome.rofl
Good, old bum, Jiraya... I miss that guy.
About the bold part, ask the 4th:Why would it matter if he was the 4th's son? is the hokage not allowed to have children? They all knew he was the host of the 9-tails anyway so why would it hurt to be known as the 4th's son, who was being watched over by Jiraiya of the legendary sannin?

I agree that he was a hero, but he still could have been present.

I Beleive that Jiraiya was a great hero and an awesome ninja, but this was the one place where he failed.
and if there was trouble wouldn't you want The godfather there watching you? I know I would. xd If Jiraiya had been there even one month a year just to look in on him, he wouldn't have felt so alone.
and as I have said, he could have done both.
That's totaly not it...if it was about knowing if naruto was Minato's son. Don't you think that most of Konoha would of known Naruto was the son of the 4th Hokage due to his mum being an Uzumaki and being the only Uzumaki in the village, and being married for Minato, it pretty damn easy to notice but magically only the Kakashi guessed and the 3rd of course knew aswell including the elders.
Nope, people would have had the memory of the 4th and his sensei fresh in their minds, it would have caused possible trouble from many a low life when naruto was revealed to be his son.and if there was trouble wouldn't you want The godfather there watching you? I know I would. xd If Jiraiya had been there even one month a year just to look in on him, he wouldn't have felt so alone.

See what minato said(in my link).....and not everyone of the leaf village can make the connection ...... his mom being uzumaki has jack all to do with him being the son of the 4th. Nagato was uzumaki, trust me ppl don't think he's related to the 4thxdThat's totaly not it...if it was about knowing if naruto was Minato's son.

so Im guessing he had to travel in order to find the child of prophecy...
so you are saying that if you parents were killed and you had a godfather somewhere you wouldn't want him there with you? You would want to be completely alone while people persecute you and call you a moster? You wouldn't need any sort of support system?
