Sasuke might be initially surprised. He is used to the Sakura from his past, so seeing a different, more mature future Sakura could catch him off guard.
Jiraiya's comfort gives Naruto the confidence to face his fears. For example, if Naruto was crying because he was afraid of a powerful enemy, Jiraiya's words of wisdom and support would make him more determined to train harder and find a way to defeat that enemy in the future.
It started from their shared experiences. As they trained and fought together, Jiraiya began to notice Tsunade's many qualities. Tsunade, who was initially just seeing Jiraiya as a comrade, gradually noticed his deep affection for her. His little gestures, like bringing her small gifts or always being the first to volunteer to be her partner in missions, made her heart soften towards him over time.
Well, their love story was a complex one. It began with their long - time friendship and comradeship. They grew up together in the Hidden Leaf Village. Jiraiya had always had a special place in his heart for Tsunade. He was attracted to her strength and beauty. However, Tsunade was a bit more reserved about her feelings. She was focused on her own goals like becoming a great medical ninja at first. But over time, Jiraiya's persistent affection started to make an impact on her.
He might meet the future versions of Naruto and Sakura. Their relationship with him could be very different in the future, perhaps they are now leaders of the village and Sasuke has to adjust to their new status.
He might miss out on some crucial training. Jiraiya has a lot of knowledge and skills to pass on, and by running away, Naruto could fall behind in his development as a ninja.
One possible reason could be that Naruto might be afraid of the intense training Jiraiya has in store for him. Jiraiya is known for his strict and grueling training methods, and Naruto, being young and sometimes impatient, might just want to escape that for a while.
Well, one possibility is that Naruto has some kind of premonition in the fanfiction. So he quickly rushes to Jiraiya's location where Pein is attacking. And he uses his shadow clones cleverly, distracting Pein long enough to rescue Jiraiya. He could also have some secret help from a new ally or an unexpected power boost from within himself.
Jiraiya might comfort Naruto by sharing his own experiences. He could tell Naruto about the times he faced difficulties and how he overcame them. For example, he might talk about his training with the toads and how he grew stronger through perseverance.
In some Naruto fanfictions, Jiraiya's death might be different from the original. One common way is that he might have had more backup during his fight with Pain. Maybe some new characters created in the fanfiction came to his aid at the last moment, preventing his death. However, in other fanfictions, his death could be even more tragic, like being betrayed by someone he trusted before facing Pain, which weakened him and led to his ultimate demise at the hands of Pain.
