[Theory] Why didn't Nagato bring back Jiraiya to life?

[MrMax2012]

:confused:I'm curious to why he brought everyone else back but Jiraiya, is it because Jiraiya passed on already due to the time difference of when he died & when Nagato brought back everyone he killed in Konoha

[Dinivis]

Pein only had enough power left to revive only the people in Konoha because it was recent. Jiraya's death was awhile before the attack, and thus he couldn't muster up the power.

[uhIpooped]

exactly... Jman had been dead for a while... where as the villagers had just passed...

[kisamexRocks]

Time. It was some time since Jiraiya had died and Nagato was unable to revive him because of the time. Also I think the Nagato can only revive those that he killed, and I would assume he greatly injured Jiraiya and Jiraiya drowned.

So it's either too much time has passed, or Jiraiya died of natural causes.

[-Mugen-]

He was unable to revive him because
Nagato - in Konoha

Jman - at the bottom of a lake in Rain village

Pretty far away

[FlashKID124]

time, his chakra levels, the distance.. all of it.. jiraiya had died long before he was reviving people.. nagato's chakra level was low after fighting naruto.. and also because jiraiya is in another village..

i wonder though, if he was at full strength, would he be able to bring back someone like hanzo?

[Jinchuuriki of Juubi]

for those that would like to know the truth.....and for those who aren't foolish enough to underestimate nagato of the six paths...

nagato did bring him back....and he shall arrive during the war with konan.he was brought back to life but injured and has been resting.him and konan cross paths back in the rain when she returns with the bodies of her fallen trio and gives jman the rinnegan to keep safe from madara.jman sets out to find the scattered uzumaki and later on the battlefield against tailed beasts when it isn't looking good both rain and uzumaki lead by jman and konan greet naruto for the final battle the extra help gives naruto the option of finding sasuke....and I've already said too much...I wouldn't want to *spoil* things for you....

because nagato didnt have jirayas soul! because nagato didnt kill jiraya!

nagato can only bring back those whom he have the soul of!, and jiraya is not one of them!

because jiraya died in the lake!

you're saying that everyone he killed in konoha died from nagato TAKING their souls?? nagato is the 7th pain, who controls life and death, he can bring people back to life.. kakashi's soul wasn't taken, he came back to life didn't he?

[whoami28]

The real question is why didn't he bring Yahiko back to life? Jiraiya was too far away to resurrect, but Yahiko was right there the whole time.

[NarutoUzumakiMinato]

How do you know that he didnt.....he was greatly injured maybe he is off
somewhere healing his wounds....i really hope he did.....Jman was awesome

[Nick4444]

I hope your spoiler was right...that would be awesome. I don't really believe it though :/

In the manga, all the souls he had stolen was returned, and those he had injured/killed otherwise were also brought back for some reason (Kakashi). I think the author didn't want Kakashi to go, meaning he has some great purpose, which is why he made an exception. Then again, it's also goes to the fact that his chakara levels were low after the main fights.

Time.

Time to resurrect people

So it's just time is the main factor.

Nice find. So there is a time period before the soul goes on to the afterlife in Naruto.

yupp you're absolutely right..

[FlashKID124]

i guess back then he didn't know how to.. and also, back then there were no 6 paths of pain... there was only nagato..

[Jinchuuriki of Juubi]

I think he meant deva path(yahiko) am I right?

[Kaze..]

This is total off topic and i might be missing some info but wtf didnt the toads just reverse summon jiraiya

[~Anubis~]

myabe he could revived only those who have died recently.:D and he didn't have enough chakra left to do it?:confused:

[FlashKID124]

I think he meant deva path(yahiko) am I right?

yup, back when yahiko had himself killed to save konan

[Jinchuuriki of Juubi]

yup, back when yahiko had himself killed to save konan

ya there's just gotta be some form of time limit when a body is too far gone to bring the soul back to it like the dead body would just reject the soul trying to be brought back.and I meant if he was talking about bringing yahiko back when he brought konoha back cuz deva pain was near by by I had already thought of the answer after posting.cuz it would make no sense if used yahikos body if he couldve brought him back lol I didn't think it though before posting

[apple pie of doom]

It was gay he revived everyone anyway, sure Kakashi being back fine, but all those others could've been left as rotting corpses.
Jiraiya stays dead because at least ''some'' important good guys have to die.

[~Anubis~]

ya that's true

[~Lumos~]

Nagato was not able to bring back jiraiya because he had not much chakra left in him he was only able to bring back villagers and that to cause his death.

[Akisha]

Because it was too LATE!
Back then when he turn the konoha ninjas back to live Nagato said: "There is still timo to save those who I've killed when I come to Konoha."
