Jiraiya was first thought to be the child of the prophecy, but that quickly changed into Minato. However when Minato died, the prophecy changed once more into one which made Naruto the person in the prophecy. Jiraiya was very confident that he was training the child and thus told him everything he knew, even told him about his fathers techniques such as the Rasengan. From this Naruto believed that he had to train really hard in order to prove it true.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. No one ever thought Jiraiya was the child of the prophecy. Jiraiya never even knew of the prophecy until he was an adult. Nagato was thought to be the child of prophecy, then Jiraiya thought he died, so he thought Minato was supposed to. When Minato died, he knew it HAD to be Naruto
