History:
As a child, Jiraiya and his former teammates, Orochimaru and Tsunade, were students of the Third Hokage. After leaving the Third's tutelage, he traveled the world and discovered the residence of the toads, who trained him to call upon them in battle. During this time a prophecy concerning Jiraiya was told, dictating that he would travel the world while writing a book and meet a child who might bring either great peace or great chaos to the world. During his travels, Jiraiya and his former teammates fought with Hanzo, who rewarded their ability to survive his attacks through the title of "Legendary Three Ninja" (Densetsu no Sannin). Soon after this Jiraiya met Nagato, a boy he believed to be the child from the prophecy.Jiraiya trained Nagato and his friends, hoping to steer the boy down the path of good before returning to Konoha.
Upon his return, Jiraiya became the sensei of Minato Namikaze and two other unknown Genin. Years later, when Orochimaru betrayed Konoha and fled the village, Jiraiya pursued him, trying to convince his friend to come back. He failed in his attempt and resumed his travels of the world, wanting to follow Orochimaru's movements as well as the organization Orochimaru eventually joined, Akatsuki. Sometime around this time, Jiraiya was made the godfather of Naruto Uzumaki by Minato and Kushina Uzumaki because they decided to name him after the lead character in Jiraiya's first book.

Jiraiya is known as the "Toad Sage" (Gama Sennin , English TV: "Toad Mountain Sage") due to his utilization of a number of toad-related jutsu. Many typically deal with summoning toads, and he has risen to a level of ability that allows him to summon Gamabunta. He can even summon the nearly indestructible esophagus of a great, fire-breathing toad with Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind ( Kuchiyose: Gamaguchi Shibari English TV "Toad Mouth Trap").

In addition to calling upon toads for aid in battle, Jiraiya has a number of jutsu he can use independently. He uses Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld (Doton: Yomi Numa, English TV "Earth Style: Dark Swamp") to create a large swampland under a target that is capable of completely engulfing them. He can spit either fire or oil from his mouth, allowing him to burn or drench opponents as he pleases. Jiraiya has also been shown to use his hair for jutsu, and can grow and sharpen it to surround him as a shield, protecting him from harm and injuring attackers, or use it to bind and impale opponents. His Toad-Silhouette Control Technique (Gama Daira Kage Ayatsuri no Jutsu) allows him to merge with the shadows of others, and through this he is able to take complete control of their body. Jiraiya was taught how to use the Rasengan by Minato, and has since developed a variant called Super Great Ball Rasengan (Chō Ōdama Rasengan), though its capabilities are currently unknown. He is, however, not well suited for genjutsu, and thus cannot effectively utilize it in battle.
