Naruto 383 comes out, it is really hard to know if Jiraiya dies or not cause he says he isn't going to give up

I ask this because in the last chapter he forced himself out of will to come back to life and stuff and claims like naruto believes, that he is not going to give up. That could either mean he wont let himself die or he doesn't give up on naruto and can now die. I have no idea why they are dragging out his death so much...if he is going to die, they better just do it even though I love Jiraiya. but its teasing me haha. What does everyone think?

sorry to say this man, its pretty obvious he's dead....like cmon...paine is too strong....i can garauntee he's dead because theres no one to save him at the current situation so....ya hes dead :'( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JIRIYAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHYYYYYYY YOU WERE SO AWSOME, well guess what, Naruto is gonna fu*k up pain so badly >=) he'll use the 9 tails and pain will get obliterated into nothingness.....he will get crush in less then second, but instead Naruto will torture him for about 10 chapters then pain will cry till his throat explode, and his lungs explode and finally he'll die =) then Naruto will do the same with all the Aktusi members =D then you laugh i laugh and Sasuke dies a little inside because wants the fame and glory, but Naruto will say NO! BAD SASUKE!! NO MORE CANDY, then sasuke is gonna scream like a girl and jump down the cliff, die aloong with Sakura then finally Naruto will take a pencil, draw Hinata a pupil, infact he will redraw her into the most sexiest girl, then they will marry each other, and everyone will live happily ever after YAY!!!

hmm, this was hard for me but i honestly think that ero sennin gives out his last jutsu/move or whatever he does, and then dies, of course i havent any proof....

Hes dead. He had his windpipe crushed and was only able to put the message on the back of "pa". Anyway pain would make sure he is good and dead.

When I saw Jiraiya's face in the last panel, somehow I have a hope that he returns to Konoha alive. Barely able to live, but is still alive.

I know he really wanted to die in honor, like a real shinobi as the previous Hokages, but then again, I wanted him to return safely to Tsunade D: I don't want him to die in regret (especially when Tsunade actually has some feelings towards him), I wanted him to die happy.

Naruto will be his only accomplishment if he really died in the next chapter. >_> And Icha Icha Paradise. And somehow, I wanted Naruto to read the very first book Jiraiya wrote, and understand why he was named Naruto. It will be one of the most overwhelming scenes. TT__TT

Enough of my rambling. This chapter makes me love Jiraiya, and although I know he's dying, but I hope he will not die that easily. =^_^=

ok dude i'm not sure of this okay....but i have a friend from Japan...he "said" that he already read the chap 383....he said when one of the Pains was about to finished of Jiraiya for good...someone saved him.....although I don't really believe it....and well....I still hope that jiraiya won't die...let's just w8 till 383 comes out....xD

he's dead .he forced himself back to give the information on peins true identity to the toad to take to naruto. he then leaves the rest to naruto. he completed his mission in true shinobi style. his reason for forcing himself back was to impart that information to his godson, naruto. but be assured he in, in fact, dead.

I had heard that it was partly due to the author writing some new story lines. Jiyara is partially just filler chapters. My personal thoughts is that as the story line has unfolded, There was a need to understand Pein and why he is doing this as well as what kind of Jutsu he has. If anybody came to save Jiyara it would be Tsunada (she gets there the same way Maw frog transports herself to Konaha.)

mabey sauskae will save him while he comes looking for itachi hell be like get out of my way weakling twoards pein and pein will laugh and when pein looks down sauske will be there with his swoed to his neck the ......sfx......slash..........sfx......b... gushing.....................pein is dead this is like some 3% chance like L says

i love jiraiya so mch n he is like one of the best chracter in naruto *sob**sob*

Well, my theory is this...It's pretty much obvious that JMAN is a deadman...But that's probably what Kishi wants us to think...Well, If you think about it...Jaraiya won't force himself back to life so just he could die again...That's pretty stupid...Who wants to die twice? I can feel, but this is only my opinion of course, that Jaraiya will live to tell the tale...or maybe that's what i hope would happen...coz in the other side...he already passed on the message to Pa frog...But I'm sure...whatever may happen...JMAN will not die just easily....He's too great to die just like that...something will come up...i can feel it...
