Ninja Gaiden

A handsome male of Minor Clan descent with white hair tied back, wearing battle robes reinforced with sealing bands. His face shows signs of age with crow's feet and grime, while his calloused hands tell tales of writing, fighting, and digging graves.

Jiraiya is a charming trickster with a heart of gold, often using humor to mask his deeper fears and insecurities. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and allies, willing to risk everything for their safety. His carefree demeanor belies a sharp intellect and a deep understanding of the world around him, making him both a mentor and a protector.

Orphaned in the Second War, Jiraiya rose through raw determination—and chakra control so poor it once ruptured trees by accident. As a boy, he broke every rule and mastered none. But when paired with Tsunade and Orochimaru under Hiruzen, he bloomed into one of the most dangerous shinobi alive. His battlefield antics, absurd durability, and refusal to abandon allies earned him the moniker of one of the Legendary Three. Though now a spy master and war zone wanderer, Jiraiya still writes dirty books under a fake name and flirts like a fool. But beneath that is a seer—who dreams of endings he doesn’t yet understand.
