naruto finds out about jiraiya's death

When Naruto discovers Jiraiya's death in fanfiction, it's a moment of pure shock. He may immediately recall all the lessons Jiraiya taught him, from the Rasengan to the importance of never giving up. This news could fuel his determination to become stronger, not just for himself but also to avenge Jiraiya. He might also have flashbacks of their adventures together, which only intensifies his pain.

In many fanfictions, Naruto is initially in a state of shock. He can't believe that Jiraiya, his mentor, is gone. He might go into a period of deep sadness and isolation, withdrawing from others as he tries to process the loss.

In some fanfictions, Naruto is completely devastated. He might go into a state of shock at first, unable to believe the news. Then he could be filled with intense grief and anger, blaming himself for not being there to protect Jiraiya.

In fanfiction, Jiraiya's death can also be used to explore themes of sacrifice. He sacrificed himself for the greater good, and this can be further elaborated in different stories. For example, some fanfictions might show how his death inspired other characters to be more selfless.

Naruto is devastated. He feels a huge void in his heart. Jiraiya was the one who believed in him from the start, and his death makes Naruto question a lot of things. He might even start to doubt his own strength for a while.

At first, Naruto might isolate himself. He doesn't want to be around others as he is so consumed by his grief. He just sits in his room or goes to a quiet place where he can cry alone and think about Jiraiya.

One scenario could be that Jiraiya is poisoned before his fight with Pain. In the fanfiction, an enemy within the village who is secretly working for Pain's forces might have poisoned his food or drink. So, when he goes to face Pain, he is already weakened, and this ultimately leads to his death. Another possibility is that Jiraiya's death is a result of a time - traveling plot. If there is time - travel involved in the fanfiction, his actions in the past might accidentally create a situation where he has to die to preserve the timeline.

Sometimes Naruto copes by throwing himself into his training. He uses the pain of losing Jiraiya as fuel to become stronger.
