"The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant" is episode 133 of Naruto Shippuden.
Jiraiya confronts enigmatic enemies known as the Pains and uncovers crucial truths about their identity and motivations, even as he faces overwhelming danger. His final efforts focus on passing vital information to support the next generation's struggle.
Jiraiya goes into deep panic thinking Pain is either Yahiko or Nagato, as Pain possesses Rinnegan which Nagato had and he appears as Yahiko. Jiraiya kills one of the Pains only to realise he's fought him before. Lady Shima leaves on Jiraiya's request, before Jiraiya realizes that he has met all of the Pains before. Jiraiya figures out who Pain is but it is unable to relay the message as Pain's attack crushes Jiraiya's throat. As he begins to die, he remembers Naruto's determination and forces himself awake, where he writes a message on Lord Fukasaku's back. Pain then blasts him into the ocean, where Jiraiya dies happy, sure that Naruto is the child of Prophecy.
