I know this is very late in saying this and probably many people have said it, which I haven't seen
BUT
I just realised something, when Nagato brought everyone back to life with his rebirth jutsu in the leaf village
We assumed Jiraiya couldn't be brought back to life because of three things
1. He had an epic death and it would seem unfair for him to be brought back to life (which I agree but if Kishi had a better plan then I believe it would work)
2. He is deep below the ocean etc
3. It was some time before Nagato used the rebirth jutsu, so we assumed Jiraiya had already moved on.
Now here is why he could be brought back to life
To the 2. when I said he is deep below the ocean.
When Nagato killed a lot of people with his almight universal push. A lot of bodies wouldn't of stayed intact etc so if Jiraiya was brought back to life maybe he was brought back on top of the water surface or he could of been brought back to life and quickly summoned gamabunta and went into his mouth or used gamabunta to get out of the water, or something of the sort!
From there he could of said to the Toad Sage or one of the frogs or just gamabunta to not say his alive so he can do whatever he has to do behind the shadows
3. It seems to be proven, in my point of view that there isn't a limited time where the rebirth jutsu will work because the REAL Madara thought he was brought back at first by Nagato rebirth jutsu and it obvious Madara was dead for a few years minimum atleast because he referred Nagato has a kid still.
So that can show Jiraiya could of still been brought back to life like that
Yes his death was truly great but I think if Kishi were to bring him back it would be in style, plus it would be good for Tsunade to get her man back lol
Let me know what you think anyway
