Yeah, I got your point and you may be right. Going down to the core, almost everything could be deemed as "lazy and dumb". And even the "lazy and dumb" things may actually be great (I think for example to Asuma's reanimation, it was a great part of story for the Ino-Shika-Cho).

Still, bringing back Jiraiya would be risky and in all honesty seeing how they handled the whole Boruto story up until now I fear they would not manage to make it convincing and interesting (I would however be happy to be proved wrong)

Also, I don't think that Jiraiya's "revival" as Kashin Koji was planned so much time ago as you say, mainly because I don't even think Kishimoto was planning a sequel.

Again, I agree with you that Kashin Koji MAY be Jiraiya, but I stand in my personal opinion that he SHOULD not be :/
