Learn about the relationship between Kakashi and Jiraiya

 Kakashi and Kashin Koji's meeting in the Boruto anime creates a very interesting scene, especially since in the Boruto manga version, Kakashi doesn't even appear. And the main reason is because of the relationship between Kakashi and Jiraiya in the Naruto era.

1. Jiraiya knew Kakashi from a young age, probably through Minato

Jiraiya had known Kakashi since he was young, even Jiraiya was familiar with Kakashi's closed nature. Jiraiya once gave young Kakashi life advice to always open his heart to others so he can still be "human", for example by telling small stories to others every day.

It is possible that Jiraiya knew Kakashi from a young age through Minato, because Minato was Jiraiya's student and Kakashi was Minato's student. 

2. Jiraiya is someone Kakashi trusts

Although they don't often get together, Jiraiya is one of the characters that has guided Kakashi for a long time.

After the death of his father - Kakashi became lonely and lived a closed, principled life. He then became Minato's student, but his teacher also passed away later. That is, Kakashi points to Jiraiya, who can help and guide him through his loneliness. So Kakashi really trusts Jiraiya in many ways, especially for missions, since Jiraiya is also a reliable ninja and a great spy. (Jiraiya Costume)

3. Both have a mission to educate and train Naruto

It turns out that Kakashi was interested in training Team 7 because Naruto was the son of Minato - his dead teacher. And Jiraiya is on a mission to train Naruto to become stronger because he has a feeling that Naruto is the child in the prophecy.

Thus, Kakashi and Jiraiya both have the same goal, both trusting Naruto and believing that both can train Minato's son.  (Jiraiya Death Figure)

4. Kakashi is a huge fan of the Icha Icha series

Icha Icha is an adult novel written by Jiraiya, it is really popular and even got a movie adaptation (in Naruto's world). The number one fan of this book series cannot be without Kakashi, right from the moment he appeared in the series, Kakashi has always read this book.

Kakashi's unique and humorous weakness is also related to this book, which is that he is easily lured by the book, especially after Naruto wanders around and is always by the side of the author Jiraiya.
