Jiraiya’s journey to seek out a student is postponed due to the outbreak of the Third Great Ninja War. Jiraiya joins Tsunade and Orochimaru to battle the Village Hidden in the Rain. Following the battle, the three ninja are named the “Legendary Sannin,” a title given to them by the enemy Hanzo of the Great Salamander himself.
If there is a mutual understanding,
،إن كان هناك تفاهم مُتبادل

Лишь пережив то же самое,
 они придут к пониманию.
