Yeah, well nobody was addressing it.

Good point on the quality of writing argument. But in which case, I'd refer back to the "it's too obvious" thing:

The Obito reveal was so obvious they had to throw a red-herring in there about him being Madara, which is also why is scars looked more like wrinkles, originally.

You tell me there's a dude with white hair, black eyes, fire techniques, rasengan, toad techniques, who comments on Orochimaru and Sarutobi, and who happens to have a red tear (https://file-comic-4n1.anyacg.co/images/54/8c/548c227bce13409b0f2dbb6ea6febd595d1b7485_168330_870_1226.jpg)?

I'm obviously gonna think Jiraiya. Yet, no red herring yet. Which could mean they're either not trying to hide it, 'cause they know it's obvious so why bother, but I'm leaning more towards the similarities with Jiraiya are, themselves, the red-herring.
