I was watching some Shippuden when I started realizing that Jiraiya and Sakumo have quite a few similarities. My curious side took over and I started researching and here's the notes I took. Sorry if it's all over the place, I was super hyped that I might've just found out if Jiraiya really was Sakumo.

Is Jiraiya the White Fang? --

-Kakashi aged 13 during his Gaiden -Father killed him self within 1 year 5 years prior to Kakashi's Gaiden -Kakashi is aged 7-9 during fathers' death [Edit- Sakumo died 5 years before Kakashi became a Jonin, and being the youngest Jonin ever at age 10, Sakumo died when kakashi was 5] -Lots of people are saying that Sakumo was the same age as the Sannin, or that he was 24 when Kakashi was born, meaning that if Sakumo died whithin a year 5 years before Kakashi's Gaiden(he was 13 at the time), he would've died at age 32(24+8=32), which is an age a lot of people thought the Sannin were at the point of time Sakumo died. And since Kakashi is 22 years younger than Jiraiya, that means if Sakumo didn't die, he would be 54 years old, which is Jiraiya's current age. Sakumo and Jiraiya also share many similar traits. And many many people suggest that Sakumo was at the same skill level as the Legendary Sannin, so in the end, it is extremely possible that Jiraiya is the White Fang of the Leaf. -Sakumo raised Kakashi in a way that made him one of the strongest Shinobi in the world of Naruto. Lots of people also suggest that Sakumo and Minato are very similar as well. And since Naruto was still an infant when his father died, his father couldn't of trained him. If Jiraiya is Sakumo, then it makes sense, because Sakumo raised Kakashi to be one of the strongest shinobi in Naruto, and Jiraiya trained Naruto to become one of the strongest ninja as well.

Feel free to discuss on this because honestly I was just all over the place due to the fact I was tired and hype as hell.
