Jiraiya Refused to be Hokage

[ricedonut]

“We want you to be Hokage”

Jiraiya: How about I train another Hokage?

[locpro]

He’s like adventurer type, not the one who wants to be in the office all day and do paper works

Jiraiya choosing Tsunade was a wise move. He was actually chosen to be the 4th Hokage before Minato, but he rejected it too.

Being Hokage isn’t his dream. But more than that, he’s less useful as a Hokage than he would be as “shadow hokage”, since he’s the Village’s best intel gatherer. Plus he’s been set on training Naruto when they asked this of him. He wanted to convince Tsunade to come back to the village because not only would it be good for the Village (Tsunade pioneered the medic-nin in three man teams thus leading to less casualties, and is the entire reason Konoha won the 2nd Shinobi war), but it would also be good for Tsunade who was wasting away in alcohol suffering from her PTSD. Thus, Konoha would have two sannin protecting it instead of one.

There is also the emotional reason. Jiraiya feels like a faliure since he couldn’t save his teacher nor his master from dying. I don’t think that’s a good mental state to be in as the leader of the Konoha shinobi. He would rather help his friend Tsunade get over her own demons rather than deal with his own.

Jiraiya didn’t want to become hokage cuz of all the paperwork and it would ruin his research

Jiraiya Is The Only Guy Who Was Considered To Be Hokage Not Once But Three Times
He Was Meant To Be 4th Hokage But Jiraiya Made Minato The 4th
After Hiruzen's Death He Was Meant To Be 5th Hokage But He Gave That Chance To Tsunade
After Pain Arc By Feudal Lord Of Fire Jiraiya Was Meant To Be 6th Hokage If He Was Alive At That Moment After Tsunade Fell Into Coma But Danzo Became The 6th Hokage
