Who Has/Had More Of A Parent Role in Naruto's Life: Jiraiya or Iruka?

[AfricanProdigy]

Sure Jiraiya was the one who trained Naruto for those 2 and a half years, but Iruka could also be debated as the one who has more of a parenting role, as he is the one who rescued Naruto from death at the start of the series and made him ninja, was one of the only ones who respected Naruto at the time despite Kurama killing his parents, would take him out to eat ramen after finishing a mission, and also had a talk or two about how Naruto needs to make the right choices when it comes to using his new powers. So tell me: what are you guys thoughts and opinions on this?

personally I think Iruka had more of a father role in the beginning of the series, but later on developed into the older brother when Jiraiya and naruto literally spent 3 years together but overall i think Iruka had more of an impact on naruto's life than jiraiya did

 

[NeverEnding]

Jiraya is more like a parent role he is naruto's god father!!! Iruka is more like the bestfriend or buddy type!!!

 

[portgas d luffy]

naruto said iruka feels like a father to him

 

[l Forgotten l]

Me -dark vader voice- I AM HIS FATHER
umm iruka, naruto even said it.

Iruka basically took the role of Naruto's older brother that he always needed. Without Iruka, Naruto would just be some delinquent, immature nobody who got killed by the Akatsuki.

I think jiraiya acted as father , iruka is like older brother.

 

[The Immortal God]

Iruka was more of an older brother as he said himself. Jiraiya was Narutos godfather so he obviously had more of the father role

Wow...thats a good question actually I guess both were equally important.... but I guess naruto had a better tme with jiraiya

 

[Nakamazi Itchigo]

Iruka at first but then after him growing up, Iruka became like a big brother and Jiraiya became like a Godfather like he actually is!

Jiraya i guess
