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.
As long as we are cursed to live
in this ninja world,
،ما دمنا ملعونين بالعيش في عالم النّينجا هذا
Und so lange wir in dieser
verfluchten Ninja-Welt leben,
Mientras estemos malditos y debamos vivir 
en este mundo de shinobis no habrá paz.
Mientras estemos malditos y debamos vivir 
en este mundo de ninjas, no habrá paz.
Finché vivremo in questo maledetto mondo di ninja
Desde que estamos amaldiçoados
a viver neste mundo ninja,
Покуда мы обречены жить
 в этом мире синоби,
