Minato, Itach or Jiraiya? Konoha's Greatest sacrifices.

[Shodaime Swagkage]

So I was reading a thread earlier about Konoha's Greatest Heros and I wanted us to debate on who's sacrifice was more beneficial to Konohagakure

Qualifications for another character: He or she has to be from Konoha.


Minato



Minato fought Obito and sealed half of Kurama's chakra in himself, the rest in Naruto at the cost of his life.

Itachi



Itachi took the blame to prevent a civil war from happening in Konoha and to save his brother's life. Itachi allowed himself to be killed by his own brother to stop Sasuke from wreaking havoc and becoming a hero in Konoha.

Jiraiya



Jiraiya faced Six Paths of Pain to get intel even though he was very likely to get killed. This info was later used to defeat the Six Paths


So who's sacrifice was more benificial to Konoha?

[AizenSosuke]

Itachi's

[Uchiha Riyo]

I'm gonna say Itachi, his sacrifice ruined his entire life, he was labelled as a criminal and he had to kill his own family.

[megaamine]

Jiriya.

[Guli]

Obv minato or jiraya, pain and obito would do the most damage

[Uchiha Josephus]

They were all heroes and you can't rank their sacrifices and [insert more mushy crap here].

[natssuu]

Itachi at age 13, killed his whole clan and lived his entire life in shadows just to protect Konoha and Sasuke.

[Ritsu]

Minato.

[Slug Princess Tsunade]

Tsunade.
She saved the half village.
She saved the main character several times.
Now she saved 4 Kage.4 Kage! Every village should be grateful to her. Her sacrifice is the most "useful"

[Ngylle]

Itachi Takes the Throne!

[Narukarin16]

Minato's.

[shogun973]

not even close

jiraiya lost no one
minato lost his life and his wife
itachi lost mom dad aunts uncles granparents cousins his name and this was at a young age so he had to live with it

[Kamishini]

Minato.
Stopped Kyuubi
Beat Obito
Sealed Fox in Naruto

[KidGamer65]

Minato's sacrifice was most beneficial, cause if he didn't sacrifice himself, it would result in the immediate destruction of the village.

Next is Jiraiya's cause if he didn't give the info about Pain to Konoha, Naruto and the other would been killed by Pain easily.

Last is Itachi cause even if Itachi didn't kill his clan, Konoha would have beat them in the incoming war.

[bobisacoolguy]

Minato-stopped kyuubi's made naruto sealed kyuubi's into naruto stopped obito sealed tbb that could have destroyed village
Itachi-killed his whole clan
Jiriya-trained naruto, fought pain, gave naruto ability to make tbb

[peteriscoo]

any sacrifice that requires one to pay "the ultimate price" is normally on par with each other. Itachi was selfless in doing so, minato was quick thinking and when out with a bang, and jiraiya made sure his life and death had meaning

[Shodaime Swagkage]

They're all good just wanted to see what you guys think.

[★The Shogun]

Itachi and Jiraiya.

[Big bengi]

Of course itachi. If you think not, try feeding information from your next to kin to strangers, protecting strangers, killing most of your relatives because it's the mission, go to your grave with this secret and return from the died to rescue your village in a great ninja war

[Shodaime Swagkage]

Of course itachi. If you think not, try feeding information from your next to kin to strangers, protecting strangers, killing most of your relatives because it's the mission, go to your grave with this secret and return from the died to rescue your village in a great ninja war

yeah this actually moved me

[~Shadowhunter Princess~]

Itachi for me. The other two were considered heroes and didn't have to kill their entire clan

[Omnipotent]

Naruto, even if it wasn't his choice. Sacrificed a normal childhood and his parents for the sake of his village (just so I don't choose Minato).

[Ngylle]

Uchiha Itachi
-this guy lost everything for the sake of his village at the age of 13, he exchange all the things that made a value in the Shinobi' world for the sake of other people, lived in disgraces, criminal life, dishonor all his life to such extend that he took the blame for the uchiha masacress out linking his beloved country of that incident.

-after all that happened, after losing so much for his country, he kept protecting it from the shadows of those whom wanted to destroy it
-Even after death he kept caring about his country and his first action was to stop Edo-Tensei to save them all.

Itachi is the greatest hero and more complex that Konoha had birth.

what makes a hero is not just pointing the bad guy and deal with it, is how much that hero is willing to sacrified for the sake of others. even his own life and honor. he was not a 'Fairy Tail Hero, where it ways saves the day and without losing anything''

Sarutobi Hiruzen
-The old hokage was a great hero that care for his village, above all and believe that someone will inherit his will, even at that such advances age he was willing to protect his village out of everything.

That ****! xD who that guy.. Mr macho!

[Dazuza360]

I'm gonna say Itachi, his sacrifice ruined his entire life, he was labelled as a criminal and he had to kill his own family.

This^^^
It's kinda obviously really...

[Dazuza360]

In terms of the 'most useful' i'd say all are about equal. If those 3 didn't do what they did then the village would have been destroyed 3 times over already.(Minato defeating Obito and sealing Kurama, Itachi massacring his whole clan to prevent a coup, Jiraiya sending intel on Pain)

But in terms of most suffering/sacrifice? That's a no-brainer. Itachi, of course.
