The third arc in question is the Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant Arc (Shippuden).

The time span of this arc is episodes 127-133 (Shippuden).

The "Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant" arc in Naruto Shippuden is a brief but impactful story segment that focuses on the final mission and death of Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin and Naruto Uzumaki's sensei. This arc is a pivotal moment in the series, deeply affecting several main characters and setting the stage for future conflicts.

Here is a breakdown of the key events and themes of the "Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant" arc:

Jiraiya's Mission and Investigation

The arc begins with Jiraiya, acting on intelligence about the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain, traveling to the Hidden Rain Village. This village is known to be the Akatsuki's base of operations. Jiraiya's goal is to infiltrate the village, gather information, and confront Pain directly. He leaves Konoha with a heavy heart, knowing the risks involved.

He successfully infiltrates the village, using his unique ninja skills and summonings to remain undetected initially. He discovers a powerful technique that manipulates rain, which he realizes is a surveillance technique used by Pain to monitor the entire village.

The Confrontation with Pain

Jiraiya's investigation leads him to confront one of Pain's bodies, the "Animal Path." During this fight, Jiraiya uses his most powerful techniques, including the Summoning: Frog Chant and Sage Mode. He summons the Two Great Sage Toads, Fukasaku and Shima, to help him. Their coordinated attacks showcase the power of Sage Mode, a form of chakra he taught Naruto.

However, the battle escalates when more of Pain's bodies appear. Jiraiya realizes that Pain is not one person but a set of six bodies, each with a unique power and chakra receiver. He recognizes these bodies from his past—they are the corpses of various shinobi, including the very shinobi he trained long ago in the Hidden Rain Village.

The Revelation

As the battle intensifies, Jiraiya makes a shocking discovery: the "Tendo" (Deva Path), the main body of Pain, is his former student, Yahiko, or so he initially believes. However, he then realizes that all six bodies are controlled by a single person—Nagato, another of his former students from the Hidden Rain Village. Nagato is the true leader of the Akatsuki and possesses the legendary Rinnegan, an eye that was once believed to be a myth.

Jiraiya is overwhelmed by the power and numbers of Pain's six paths. He is impaled by chakra receivers and left for dead. With his dying breath, he reflects on his life, his failures, and his legacy.

Jiraiya's Final Message and Legacy

Before he succumbs to his injuries, Jiraiya is determined to deliver his findings to Konoha. He writes a message in a coded script on the back of Fukasaku, the toad he summoned. The message reveals the true identity of Pain and the secret of his six bodies.

As he sinks into the water, he thinks of his life's story, which he planned to write in a book. He realizes that the story's protagonist is not him, but Naruto Uzumaki. He understands that Naruto is the "Child of Prophecy" who will bring about a great change to the ninja world. He dies with a sense of peace, knowing that he has passed on his will to the next generation.

Aftermath and Impact

The death of Jiraiya has a profound impact on the series:

• Naruto's Grief and Motivation: The news of Jiraiya's death devastates Naruto. This loss fuels his determination to become stronger and to confront Pain. The arc sets up the "Pain's Assault" arc, where Naruto seeks to avenge his master.

• The Transmission of Information: Jiraiya's final message, successfully delivered to Konoha, gives the village a crucial advantage. Shikamaru Nara, using his intellect, deciphers the code, providing Konoha with the information they need to prepare for Pain's inevitable attack.

• Thematically, the arc explores themes of sacrifice, legacy, and the cycle of hatred and peace. Jiraiya's death is a heroic sacrifice, a final act of devotion to his students and his village. His legacy lives on through Naruto and his teachings. The arc also highlights the tragedy of war and how it can corrupt even the kindest hearts, as seen in Nagato's transformation into Pain.

The "Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant" is a masterfully written and emotionally charged arc that serves as a turning point in Naruto Shippuden. It honors the character of Jiraiya while setting the stage for the series' final conflicts and Naruto's growth into a true hero.

“Unforgivable! A Total Lack of Respect!”

Jiraiya

Tsukuyomi is the name of a Japanese deity who is a god of the moon in Shinto mythology. So it makes sense on Madara and his infinite tsukuyomi reflecting on the moon and itachi's tsukuyomi.

Amaterasu is the name of the sun god who tsukuyomi is the brother of.

Amaterasu being able to burn even fire and basically any material, which Itachi, sasuke and some other uchiha's can use (I'm assuming).

And Susanoo being the name of a storm god, I also just looked up susanoo and realised Susanoo fought Yamata no Orochi (Which the last part of it seems very similar to orochimaru's name), which was an eight-headed and eight tailed serpent which Orochimaru's eight-headed serpent jutsu is most likely based off of and what the fight is based off of.

And then finally orochimaru being based off of Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari which is from the tale of gallant jiraiya (could be wrong).

Which Naruto episode involved Jiraiya imagining a lady in the clouds and is then nearly attacked but turns into a panda to hide from Naruto behind a tree log?
