If Kashin Koji ends up being related to Jiraiya in some, even small and insignificant, way, I will be incredibly disappointed.

Not because of the fact that it would be Obito-levels of predictable, but because Jiraiya's death was actually one of the very few moments in "Naruto: Shippūden" handled incredibly well, and seeing it tarnished in any way would be incredibly off-putting.
