Did Boruto Just Reveal The Return Of Jiraiya!?
In chapter 15 of Boruto Manga, Kara’s inner members have their first conversation to introduce themselves into the series. The inner members mention the vessel being lost just at the outskirts of the Fire Country. We learn that Kashin Koji is in charge of that sector and after he kills the elder inner member, he says the following, “The Land of Fire. Konoha Village. It seems I am truly linked by fate to that village.”
Well, we got the confirmation about his past connections to the village recently but it was also one of the major thing which led to this development. Let’s see the third reason now – Just like Jiraiya, Kashin Koji has red lines under his eyes. He sure wears a mask which is the biggest hindrance for us but we did get a close up of his face which revealed that he clearly has similar red strokes under his eyes just like Jiraiya.
The fourth reason we have is the summoning Kashin Koji uses. In the current timeline, there’s literally only 5 leaf shinobis known to do a Toad summon. The list includes – Jiraiya, Hagoromo, Minato, Naruto and Konohamaru. Now, we have Kashin summoning toads here and there too while we know that they can only be summoned by signing a blood contract with a sage toad from Mount Myoboku. Seems really suspicious.
The last reason is a bit of a stretch but it links to the personality and the lifestyle both Jiraiya and Kashin possess. Jiraiya literally lived his life in battle and then spent his life chasing Orochimaru and researching on Akatsuki in secrecy alone from everyone else. Kashin is doing something similar, he has surely spent a long time in the Leaf Village but now he’s an execute of Kara and no one knows about this? Suspicious, Suspicious!
