Why wasn't Jiraiya burried in the Konoha Cemetery?


In Boruto episode 136, I noticed that Jiraiya's tomb is in the woods and not
in Konoha Cemetery. Jiraiya is a leaf ninja so I assume his remains should be
in Konoha cemetery and in fact he died because he was trying to save the
village. The place doesn't also resemble [Mount
Myōboku](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Mount_My%C5%8Dboku).

As JNat stated in the comments, this is a memorial for
[Jiraiya](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Jiraiya) rather than an actual grave.
Jiraiya's body was unrecoverable at the bottom of the sea, so there was no
body to bury in the cemetery.

But given Jiraiya's importance and status, why _wasn't_ he given a proper
funeral? Well, Naruto built this memorial outside the village shortly after
Pain's Assault. This is likely due to the fact that during Pain's Assault,
Konoha had just been destroyed and time to hold a funeral was not a luxury
they had.
