Boruto, the sequel series to Naruto, features many descendants of classic characters, but has it also secretly introduced Jiraiya's child?
Jiraiya is always underappreciated in the full canon of Naruto. Many other legendary shinobi end up topping fan’s list of favorites. In comparison, the Toad Sage appears not to stack up. Comparing him to Hashirama or Hiruzen makes him seem silly and simplified. Even Might Guy stands out more than Jiraiya at points. Sometimes the most general fan simply overlooks the great Sannin.
