Yo everybody!
It's been a while. I know I haven't posted any CRTs in a hot minute, but after so many major revisions in such quick succession (Bijuu thread, top tiers, Itachi overhaul, etc), I needed a bit of a break. Plus, I had a lot going on IRL as well. So, yeah, I put this off for a long time, but it's finally ready.
Similar to the Itachi overhaul, this revision aims to completely revamp Jiraiya's profile. I'm not gonna bother writing down the individual changes made because.....well, I've quite literally remade the entire profile. His P&A section was completely redone. Same goes for the Intelligence, weaknesses, stamina, and range sections. I even redid his quotes, added references and scans to his age. The whole nine yards. The only things I didn't really change all that much were his stats sections, since those were either already revised (in the case of AP, SS, and Dura), or are pending future revisions (Speed and LS). However, I did still improve the justifications for those a bit. Of course, I left the ratings as is, since this isn't a stat revision, but I added references, scans, and improved the wording on justifications and whatnot.
So yeah, here's the current profile. And here's the sandbox with all of the proposed changes for how the profile should look like. I feel like most of it is pretty straightforward stuff, but of course I'm open to any and all suggestions for improvements. Feel free to voice any disagreements you may have, obviously.
Before we begin, there's just one small thing I'd like to get out of the way.
Also, massive thanks to @Wrath_Of_Itachi for providing me with a bunch of the scans I used. Muchas gracias, buddy.
With that out of the way, let's discuss!

So, this might end up being completely irrelevant to most of you, but I still want to mention it just in case because it's something that's personally bothered me for some time. So this is for anyone who may have had similar thoughts to myself, I guess.
I always found it weird how we gave Jiraiya the Sensory abilities associated with Sage Mode when he never directly showcased them, and to add insult to injury, he seemingly couldn't even detect Pain when he was hiding inside his invisible chameleon. However, since then I've given it much thought and done a lot of research, and I decided to give him (or let him keep, rather) these abilities. Here's my reasoning for that:
Simply put, I believe that the chameleon, and those hiding inside it, have a resistance towards sensory-types. Leaving Jiraiya aside for a moment, Fukasaku and Shima were also unable to detect the chameleon or Pain, and they needed to use Shima's Tongue Trap to sniff out the chameleon. Now this ability isn't like normal sensory powers because it's not reliant on chakra in any way, but rather it detects its targets through scent. Why is this relevant? Well, Fukasaku and Shima are both perfect Sages. They have absolutely flawless mastery over Sage Mode, and have an unparalleled understanding of Senjutsu. They were also directly stated and shown to have sensory abilities. The point is that even if we were to argue that Jiraiya may be missing these abilities due to having an imperfect Sage Mode, the same couldn't possibly be said for Ma and Pa. There's also more evidence for the chameleon having resistance to ESP. During Nagato's fight against Naruto and Bee, KCM Naruto was caught off-guard by an attack from Nagato who was hidden inside the chameleon. Naruto had the ability to detect attacks in advance by sensing negative emotions and harmful intentions, yet he didn't see this attack coming at all.
Circling back to Jiraiya and his "imperfect Sage Mode", the only thing we're ever told regarding that is that he had issues with gathering and maintaining Nature Energy. This mostly manifested in the form of him having more frog-like features when entering the form, but it was never really implied in any way that he was missing any of the abilities or perks associated with SM. He was in a proper Sage Mode after all. So when we consider the fact that we have a perfectly plausible explanation for his only "anti-feat", and combine it with the fact that he should realistically possess these abilities, I think it's fine for him to keep them. That's about it, really.
