Why Jiraiya was the worst teacher in the series

At the end of Naruto Manga, Naruto Uzumaki had become the strongest ninja in the world. He was the hero of the fourth big Ninja war, where he took down several opponents.

But things were always like this for Naruto. In the beginning, he was considered a failure that could not use the basic techniques. Most people thought he would end up as a worthless person who was an inconvenience to the hidden leaf. But Naruto's teacher had faith in him, and they helped him improve. One of the teachers who had a significant impact on Naruto's life was Jiraiya.

Was Uchiha ever stronger than his opponents?

Why Jiraiya was a horrible teacher

• Jiraiya failed to help Naruto become stronger

• Naruto learned almost all new techniques after Jiraiya died

Most Naruto fans love Jiraiya because of how he took care of his student. Since he met Naruto, Jiraiya tried his best to be there for him. While Jiraiya was an excellent person, he was not in any way a good teacher. In fact, it can be argued that he was the worst teacher who took Naruto during his wing, and there is a lot of evidence that backs up the claim.

After Sasuke's departure from the hidden leaf, Naruto went on a trip with Jiraiya for more than two years. Given that Naruto traveled with a member of the legendary Sannin, fans expected him to learn techniques. But that was not the case. During the time Naruto was gone, Jiraiya only taught him to make the breed bigger bigger.

This can be regarded as a form of improvement if education only lasted for a few weeks. The fact that Naruto returned to the hidden leaf after two and a half years while he had just learned a skill was a big disappointment.

Tsunade and Orochimaru succeeded better with their students

By comparison, Orochimaru Sasuke's strength increased significantly. Orochimaru was about how to use a sword, and at the beginning of Part 2, Uchiha had become a master -host. Sasuke also learned to use the curse seal, which gave him an extra advantage in fights. In addition, Sasuke developed powerful techniques such as Kirin, Chidori Nagashi, etc.

Some may claim that teaching in Sasuke is easier, but the point is that Orochimaru still led him. Even Sakura learned more with tsunade than Naruto did during Jiraiya. Sakura understood how to control her chakra better, and she also became a fantastic medical ninja. Sakura's physical strength also improved significantly.

Naruto learned most things on his own

All narutos power-ups in part 2 came from other sources. For starters, Naruto came with the racial leshrike while trained with Kakashi and Yamato. The most exciting thing is that Jiraiya didn't even learn Naruto about the Sage mode. Two years was more than enough time for Naruto to learn the Sage mode, so it doesn't make sense why Jiraiya didn't. In the end, Naruto had to ask Fukasaku to help him. It is worth mentioning that Jiraiya tried to teach Naruto how to control the nine tails, but he failed. Naruto eventually learned with the help of Killer B.

Fans can claim that Jiraiya trained Nagato, Minato and Konan, all three continued to become excellent ninjas. It is worth mentioning that Jiraiya only taught Nagato and the Konan the basics, after which he left them. Minato was a genius that crushed all types of discs at Hidden Leaf Academy.

Jiraiya taught Naruto the most important quality of a ninja

While Jiraiya failed to make Naruto physically stronger, he helped the hero to become mentally strong. Jiraiya taught Naruto what it meant to be a ninja, which strongly influenced the latter way of thinking. Jiraiya also helped Naruto get over his loneliness.

The latter received parental love from him, which is why he was heartbroken when Jiraiya died. Jiraiya's legacy lives on through his student, and today Naruto is grateful that he met him.
