Would you consider Kakashi and Jiraiya as failures?

[Edo Odin]

They may have failed a couple of times but that doesn't mean they're failures IMO
They both have some excellent achievements:

Kakashi:
Became Jounin at 12
Tought Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto, which are now all super powerful (the sannin obviously had a part in it to)
Is now the only hope of the Shinobi Alliance ever defeating Obito

Jiraiya:
Sannin, famous around the world
Trained some super powerful people, like Minato, Nagato, Naruto, and more
Killed three of the six paths, and Pain even admitted that he'd have beat them all if he knew the secret behind them (I doubt it, but it is a real achnowledgement, coming from someone who considered himself to be a god.

Don't drag Jiraiya into Kakashis circle of failure, the guy trained 3 ninja who are the strongest. Wrote a book that changed the fate of humanity, had the most frightening powers that even the great Itachi was afraid of! Gtfo!

Since they brought Naruto up, I consider them saviors U_U

 

[narutodarkfox]

kasashi and jiraya are not failures because they did the best that they could

 

[Gyakusetsu]

By their own admissions they consider themselves failures, but all can be reversed if their student get's it right.

Jman saved konoha.. no knowledge = GG everyone.

 

[mikeeozua]

Jman saved konoha.. no knowledge = GG everyone.

Agreed again

 

[Narutoga]

They are not failures, they tried and accepted the lives presented to them, not their fault, naruto isnt even bothered about saving sasuke again, he just wants to protect konoha.......

 

[natzzz]

Just the opposite.
