Just as the title asks, what did Jiraiya die for?
He went to gain information on the leader of Akatsuki. All he came up with was "The real one isn't with them". But, the Konoha ninja all figured that out on their own anyway, so, in the end, wasn't this information useless?
Wasn't Jiraiya's death totally useless to Konoha?
All of the information that they have on Pein is mainly being gained DURING Pein's assault on Konoha.
Jiraiya didn't have to die.
