From Redditor u/ariesgoddesss:
Tsunade is in love with Jiraiya but never gave him a chance because she didn’t wanna lose him like she lost Don and her brother. On the same note, Jiraiya was a big perv as a way to mask the fact that he truly loved Tsunade and knew he would never have a chance with her, thus h*eing out to avoid dealing with his heartbreak.
