We know that animals can reverse summon humans who have a contract with them.
So, my question is: why didn't Fukasaku reverse summon Jiraiya to Mount
Myoboku while fighting Pain? If Jiraiya had enough time to write on Fukasaku's
back then a reverse summon could be performed easily in that time. This would
end up giving Jiraiya intel on pain and leaving the Sannin alive.

Why was reverse summoning not used to save Jiraiya? Are there any limitations
on the technique that prevent its usage?

Why didn't Jiraiya use reverse summoning as a way to escape?


Simply said he could have, and Fukasaku even recommended Jiraiya to do this.
But Jiraiya decided not to since he already got too close to find out Pain's
ability and identity. Also there would be no second chance in finding out his
ability after this anymore, because Pain would be more careful afterwards.
