Jiraiya died in the last installment of Naruto Shippuuden (issue 382). Sorry if I spoiled it, for you Anime watchers out there (the Anime, by the way, is probably two years behind the Manga storyline)...
Jiraiya was slain by Pain, whom we have yet to identify (both who "he" is, and what "his" powers are). Pain "occupies" six bodies simultaneously, each possessed of the Rinneigan, a special eye that allows, among other things, mastery of all elements. Jiraiya hypothesized that the special eye allows all six bodies to see what all others see, in the same manner as the multiple perspectives allowed by security cameras... Jiraiya managed to "salvage" one of Pain's bodies, and send it back as evidence to the Hidden Leaf Village... No doubt, what will eventually happen is that Jiraiya's corpse will now replace that missing body...
Simultaneously, there are two battles looming: that between Sasuke and his brother Itachi Uchiha... and another between a group of Hidden Leaf Ninjas and the mysterious Tobi/Madara Uchiha... SO MANY QUESTIONS.
[please bear with me, those of you who don't read manga or watch anime...]
