This is already an adaptation of Ninninger, and basically everyone besides me hates that show even though its mostly just really average (much like Ninja Steel actually). So I'm not entirely sure where you want Jiraiya to show up with good writing. Keep in mind the episode this is based on is a farcical "respect yer elders" message where Jiraiya spends most of the episode stuck to Takamaru's back.

And yeah they didn't actually have to use this episode at all, they could have filled it out with the Dracula or Yuki-onna episodes, which didn't actually have to be skipped at all. This is entirely a shout out to the people who like Japanese Toku, they are going above and beyond to do this.
