Jiraiya is the real hero

[Kiro man]

Manga fails to say it in the end but Jiraiya is the hero of the entire series.The man tried all his life to find ways to achieve world peace and to put an end to the cycle of hatred,He's the only one who expressed interest in changing the ninja world by releasing the barriers between villages,rather than accepting how things were.

Madara,Obito and even Black Zetsu failed to realise he was the actual threat.I think the pervert side of him may be a mask he used so that people won't think of him as a person of depth and a philosopher of peace.Either way this is what saved the world,his wisdom passed on Naruto.

I think he's the guy who actually inherited Rikudou's will.

While this is true Itachi didn't share the same ideology as Jiraiya.He considered one should prove loyalty to a village,while Jiraiya proved loyalty to the whole world.

I agree, Jiraiya was Naruto's main inspiration to seek out real peace, and among all of the naruto characters was arguably the most passionate about ending the world's cycle of hatred. He was a huge perv, but Jiraiya's heart was full of ambition for passing on a brighter future.

It was all part of the will of fire being passed down to each generation that jiraiya came to be though.
