I think you're the one who misunderstands the author's intent, but whatever. Name one other case where a person came back to life by themselves. Never happened, did it?

Jiraiya lost consciousness but had enough willpower to regain it for a few moments. There's nothing more to it. You're the one who came up with this whole "soul left the body" theory, don't act like that was what in fact happened.
