Guys, everything is pointing to Kashin Koji being Jiraiya... (that one close-up panel in chapter 21 hinting at Jiraiya's red tear, the white hair and black eyes, the katon techniques, the toad techniques, the Rasengan, him acknowledging Orochimaru and Sarutobi).

Which is why I think it's *not* Jiraiya, even though they want us to think so.

Last time we had this case, it was with Obito/Tobi. Every small hint pointed to Tobi being Obito, but everyone was like "no, it's too obvious". Then it turned out to be Obito.

This time, I think they're doing the opposite: This time, we're being give really obvious hints that it's Jiraiya... we're expecting it to be Jiraiya... and it's gonna turn out to be someone else.
