Old age even took my man Iruka. Tsunade used a jutsu to be younger. It was made fairly clear that she actually looks much, much older.

Orochimaru takes the bodies of others which makes him look younger.

Jiraiya has natural white hair, before i knew that i though he was Hiruzen's age (60+). Orochimaru still looked quite old, just not as bad as some current characters. Was it stated he was using bodies to look younger back then? Doesn't seem that way to me.

shrugs I must've been the only individual that didn't think Jiraiya was all that old.

Anyway, the features of these current, older characters is more noticeable than older characters in past Naruto works. Take, Mikoto (35) or Fugaku (40) for instance.
