Naruto Manga Chapter 382: My Real Decision

Jiraiya was finally able to know Pain's true identity. As he plans to tell everything to the head sage, blood runs out and he begins to lose consciousness because of the spikes attack from the five Pain. Then it flashes back to when he was younger. He sits before the Hokage Mountain at various stages of his life writing a book. He wanted to die just like the past Hokages, but he has this thought though that he was rejected by Tsunade many times; he couldn't save his friend Orochimaru; he failed to protect his teacher and his student, and with that said, he considered himself as a failure. He believed that even though he failed in life, he could make up for that with some accomplishments. But he couldn't even do that, he failed at stopping Pain and Akatsuki. Jiraiya states the Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya wasn’t worth anything. But a voice offers that isn't true. We then cut to the Fourth Hokage's home. Minato holds Jiraiya's book and states it's great. Since it's based on Jiraiya's adventures, it's like an autobiography. An embarrassed Jiraiya offers that it didn't sell and he should probably just focus on his erotic novels. Minato offers that he liked how the hero never gave up, just like his sensei. And he hopes his own child is like the title character, so would Jiraiya mind if he uses that name? Jiraiya is shocked and states he simply thought of the name while eating ramen... A pregnant Kushina offers that "Naruto" is a fine name. Jiraiya laughs feeling unworthy and asks if that means he's the godfather. Minato states there's no one better than such a skilled and unique shinobi. Jiraiya thinks over his time with Naruto and the young mans strength and dedication. He considers how Naruto was like that hero and how he lived up to his parents dreams. We then cut to the Sannin battle, atop a snake Jiraiya and Orochimaru battle. Orochimaru offers that the true measure of a shinobi's life is based on how many jutsu they mastered. Jiraiya says no, a ninja is one who endures and has a strong spirit. He then considers Naruto, since he never went back on his word or gave up, neither will he as his master. Jiraiya regains consciousness and begins to stir; thinking that the pupil’s way should be the master's too. The father toad is shocked at how Jiraiya willed himself back to life. Pain was surprised because he's certain that Jiraiya's heart did stop. Jiraiya looks to the father toad and the summon offers his understanding. The toad slips out of his robe to the ground before Jiraiya. Jiraiya activates chakra on his finger and begins to write on the toad's back. The toad suddenly understands and Jiraiya considers that his true choice was whether to give up. He won't. He realizes that Naruto was the child of prophecy and he now leaves everything to him.
