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).

naruto boruto
Why wasn't Jiraiya burried in the Konoha Cemetery?


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.

answer


Jiraiya's body was killed in the water, he was thrown into the water at the
time of his death, and the sight was too deep to find his body. It was Naruto
who made him a statue in the woods just outside the Leaf Village
