Was Itachi Jiraiya's secret source of information to the akatsuki?

[ObitoTheSage]

I say this because Jiraiya says he has a secret source of information on the akatsuki and itachi was said to be leaking info on the akatsuki to the leaf

 

[The Necromancer]

That's one theory that's gotten some traction. It's not impossible. Jiraiya wouldn't have even needed to know.

 

[Yatori]

I dont think Jiraiya has any sort of connection with Itachi but it is not impossible.

 

[Tyris]

Lmmfao duh..

Secret to fodder yea but Jiraiya didn't even know Itachi was on a mission and imparting Intel while saving evry1's life bar humiliation while in konoha lol

 

[KISSame]

^ Or did he? He's pretty tight with Hiruzen after all. While there's no proof to the theory it still seems fairly plausible.

 

[thepuhu]

No ... Just ... No

 

[SenseiSama]

It's the only way he would've known about their activity

 

[~Ethereal~]

Good theory and original.

 

[Angelic.]

Probably. He didn't give any real info like pain or Tobi tho

 

[Masked man]

It´s possible. Maybe we will come to know from current Itachi´s part in anime.
