Jiraiya:
You wanna end up like this too? Talk! Or you’ll end up living on dragonflies and beetles for the rest of your miserable life.
Ryusui:
Fine! Turn me into a frog then! I’m not gonna say anything else to you! I may be low-ranking, but I still have my pride! I’m a Ninja! I have nothing to say to an outsider who has no idea what goes on in our nation!
Jiraiya:
Hah… Still a Ninja no matter how lowly. Well, interrogation was never my forte anyway. Okay, talk time is over. But you're still going to stay put. I’ll just go ahead and ask this “God” of yours in person then…
[Jiraiya summons Gamatora]
Gamatora:
What’s the big idea? I mean, what are you thinking summoning me here right now, Jiraiya? Is this about Naruto’s key?
Jiraiya:
No, it’s not about training this time. I have my reasons but, I’m thinking of removing you from me for a bit.
Gamatora:
Thinking of removing me? What in the world is going on?
Jiraiya:
I’m just about to go into battle with a very tough opponent.
Gamatora:
Uh-huh. This guy must really be something if you have to release me to go fight him.
Jiraiya:
Don’t worry. It’s just a precaution. Anyway, I want to press this storage release seal now, so…
Gamatora:
Very well then.
Jiraiya:
There…
Gamatora:
So how long do you think it'll take? When will you be coming back?
Jiraiya:
I really doubt that’ll take all that long… But if something should happen to me, you just go and store yourself inside of Naruto.
Gamatora:
What?! You lost your mind?! You’re well aware that the key that corresponds to Naruto’s Eight-Signed Seal is transcribed on my belly. Each and every year the Fourth Hokage’s seal grows weaker. We keep the key in order to retighten the seal if we should ever find the need. To place a key right next to the lock it opens is unheard of!
Jiraiya:
Yes… and yet don’t forget that it was entrusted to us by Minato. It was always meant to be returned to Naruto one day.
Gamatora:
But it’s too soon! Once already you sweet-talked me into loosening the Tetragram Seal and you know just as well as I do what happened that time. You haven’t forgotten, have you?
Jiraiya:
No. But… I believe that Minato entrusting me with this jutsu formula-- indicates that his will was for Naruto to complete that jutsu for himself one day.
Gamatora:
That jutsu? Are you serious?
Jiraiya:
Yes.
Gamatora:
You really think that Naruto requires such a jutsu? He would never be able to control the Nine Tails' chakra. And besides, when that lock was loosened, Naruto’s own chakra was pushed aside by the Nine Tails' chakra, which leaked out in large amounts and took over Naruto. If the seal's undone any further, and the Nine Tails completely overtakes Naruto, that would really go against the Fourth Hokage’s will.
Jiraiya:
But Minato… only used the seal on the Nine Tails' Yin chakra. He split the Nine Tails' power into Yin and Yang. And sealed the Yang power inside of Naruto. He left the Nine Tails' chakra to Naruto on purpose.
Gamatora:
Perhaps. But still…
Jiraiya:
Why did Minato do that? Why did he go so far as to seal that chakra inside his son?
Gamatora:
Aaagh… Who can tell? Perhaps it was necessitated by the sealing. Or it could be that, as a father, he simply wanted to pass on that power to his son.
Jiraiya:
I was Minato’s teacher. So I know him very well.
Gamatora:
Huh?
Jiraiya:
And he never did anything at all without a very good reason. Minato must've known something important. And as a result, he entrusted the Nine Tails' power to Naruto because of the knowledge he had.
Gamatora:
I think you're reading too much into it.
Jiraiya:
Do you really believe that’s true? The last time the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit attacked the Hidden Leaf Village… it was said to have been a natural disaster. But lately I began to suspect something else happened--that its appearance was not a natural phenomenon. I think there is more to it… I believe it may very well have been manually summoned.
Gamatora:
Fool! The Nine Tails has always been a natural disaster that appears when humanity becomes steeped in evil. Besides, there’s no one that’s powerful enough. No one can summon the likes of the Nine Tails.
Jiraiya:
Yes, well… that’s just the thing. There was one.
Gamatora:
What? And who’s that?
Jiraiya:
One of the Uchiha clan founders… Madara Uchiha.
Gamatora:
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! You fool! Madara lived back in the early days of the Hidden Leaf! No way he was still alive 15, 16 years ago!
Jiraiya:
Yes, that’s true. And I also know as everybody does that the First Hokage defeated Madara Uchiha in the battle at the Final Valley.
Gamatora:
Exactly. Your theory is pointless.
Jiraiya:
Perhaps… but I just have this feeling that I can’t shake. And it fills me with unease.
Jiraiya:
Return to the Hidden Leaf Village. When you get there, go straight to see Ibiki. He already knows you’ll be coming. I’m counting on you now. Well then, I certainly hope this plan works. Here we go…
[Konan appears]
Episode 130:
The Man Who Became God
Pain:
Well?
Konan:
It’s Jiraiya…
Pain:
I see… Jiraiya sensei, huh? How nostalgic.
Konan:
What'll you do, Pain?
Pain:
Jiraiya isn’t on our side of things, isn’t that correct?
Konan:
Probably…
Pain:
Then we must kill him. It’s far too late for regrets. I came forth in this body to kill the intruder and I’ll do just that. Now take me to him.
Konan:
Alright then. Pain, I’ll go on ahead now and handle him by myself until you arrive.
Pain:
Try to kill him… if you can.
Ryusui:
Huh?!
[Ryusui is trapped under pieces of paper]
Jiraiya:
Fire Style, Flame Bomb!!
Konan:
Toad Subjugation… Art of the Manipulated Shadow, huh?
Jiraiya:
I dangled the lure in hopes of drawing out this Pain fellow, but I never imagined that I'd catch you. You’ve honed your jutsu magnificently. But even more, you’ve become quite a catch… Konan! It was my understanding that all of you had died. But I never would’ve guessed that you turned into sheets of paper.
Ryusui:
It’s really you… you’re the messenger, Lady Angel!
Jiraiya:
First a god, now an angel… which means that you’re the messenger for this so-called God. Is that right, Konan?
Ryusui:
This man is an intruder! You should kill him now!
Konan:
Leave now and stay away.
Ryusui:
Yes, ma’am!
Jiraiya:
So who is this Pain?
Konan:
It’s really none of your business, sensei.
Jiraiya:
And doing that helps you feel like an angel? Does putting on an act like that really have any benefits?
Konan:
I’ve received my orders from God. I will kill you.
[Konan vs. Jiraiya]
Jiraiya:
Toad Oil Bomb!!
[Jiraiya captured Konan]
Jiraiya:
You’re soaked in oil! So you can’t peel apart. You had such a love of Origami. And you were the kindest and gentlest of the three of you children that I trained. What happened to the others? Nagato... and Yahiko. I heard you all died, but I guess that was a rumor… Oh, I see. So tell me… which of the other two ended up becoming this Pain then?
Konan:
Just what do you want appearing before us after all these years?
Jiraiaya:
That wasn’t my intention. If you all hadn’t been part of the Akatsuki... I heard that all of you had died. I never imagined that it would come to something like this.
Konan:
Way back then… you should’ve done what Orochimaru suggested. Isn’t that what you’re thinking now?
[Past]
Orochimaru:
These kids… shall I kill them?
Yahiko:
Wha--?!
Orochimaru:
We’ve seen so many war orphans. It’s always so pitiful. They'd be better off if we simply put them out of their misery right now.
Konan:
Back then, you saved the three of us from that fate instead. But it’s too late now. We've wholeheartedly embraced his ideology and we have now made our move.
Jiraiya:
I have no regret about letting the three of you live. No matter how this may end. I’m just very sad. The reason I taught you Ninjutsu was to enable all of you to survive those harsh times. You were all undoubtedly my students and I know the world is a cruel place but, to attack me without even so much as a greeting. Well, that’s just too sad… For a few years after our time together, I heard your names mentioned here and there. You made a reputation for yourselves, fighting for hire in a few conflicts. But then…
Konan:
You know nothing about what happened to us afterwards, sensei.
Jiraiya:
No I don’t. That’s quite apparent. But why all this stuff with the Akatsuki?! What the Akatsuki is doing now is simply wrong!
Pain:
This is what I thought through on my own and that is that. Jiraiya sensei…
Jiraiya:
Well, your appearance has changed quite a bit. But those eyes…
[Past]
Jiraiya:
That shape, that ripple pattern, I can’t believe it. That eye… The Rinnegan!
Jiraiya:
So, I guess you’re the one who became Pain. Nagato! It appears you’ve strayed from the path of goodness. What happened to you?
Pain:
You don’t need to know. After all, you are an outsider.
Jiraiya:
You really have changed, Nagato…
Pain:
Summoning Jutsu!!
Jiraiya:
Uh?
[Summoning creature appears]
Jiraiya:
Foam… Leave it to my students to know my weakness… He intends to nullify and wash away the oil.
Pain:
Konan, stay back.
Jiraiya:
Art of the Raging Lion’s Mane!!
[Jiraiya took down the summoning creature and captured Pain]
Jiraiya:
Nagato! It’s time for me to ask you a few questions! What happened to Yahiko?!
Pain:
Ah, yes. There was such a fellow once, wasn’t there? But he died a long time ago.
Jiraiya:
Nagato, what happened?
[Past]
Nagato:
All I want to do is protect those two. No matter what kind of pain I may be forced to endure…
Jiraiya:
I understand.
Jiraiya:
What happened to you? The old you would never…
Pain:
Nothing happened. Nothing except for the war… Too many people died in this land. All that "pain" forced me to grow up.
Jiraiya:
What does that mean?
Pain:
That even innocent foolish children will grow up in the face of pain. Until their thoughts and beliefs are the same as adults'.
Jiraiya:
But abandoning one’s love for his friends and fellow men is that really what it means to become an adult?
Pain:
Oh, sensei… You are still merely a man. However I… mired in endless pain have matured and become much more than a man.
Jiraiya:
What are you saying?
Pain:
Yes. I’ve grown from a man... to a god. And since I’m a god, all my words and thoughts have become absolute. Poor sensei… you’re still only human. It’s not your fault if you don’t understand what I’m saying.
Jiraiya:
Have you really become that twisted?
Pain:
Things that I couldn’t see when I was human are clear to me now that I’m a god... and being a god, I realized that there are things I can do which mortal man cannot even dream of. Or to put it more simply, I have evolved beyond man.
Jiraiya:
Just what exactly are you planning to do?!
Pain:
At last, I’m going to put an end to this senseless war-riddled world. This will be my sacred deed.
Jiraiya:
If that’s your goal, then why are you gathering up all the Tailed Beasts?
Pain:
Well, you’re about to die anyway. So I don’t need to keep this secret from you any longer.
Jiraiya:
Huh?!
Pain:
I will use the Sealed Tailed Beasts to develop new forbidden jutsu. Jutsu of such magnitude that just one could destroy an entire nation. They will be the most powerful, the ultimate forbidden jutsu weapons.
Jiraiya:
But how could creating such jutsu possibly bring about an end to war?! Weapons such as those will simply increase conflicts between nations!
Pain:
The world is already rife with conflict. So what’s the quickest way to get nations to stop fighting each other, Jiraiya sensei?
Jiraiya:
That’s what I’m asking you! So answer me!
Pain:
To each one of the warring nations, I will hand out a forbidden jutsu weapon. For once they have them, once they possess such a power, then they’re bound to use it.
Jiraiya:
Wait, what are you saying?!
Pain:
Just think. Tens of millions of people will die instantly. And all mankind will quake in terror. All of humanity, all the nations will learn what pain truly is. Fear would breed a strong aversion to war. Conflicts would cease. It can be said that this world is still in the process of maturing. That it’s still on the path to stability. Pain will make the world grow up. Just like it forced us to grow up. In order for the world to develop to the point where it can think and walk on its own, it needs the help of the God’s hand. This world is still but a child, you see?
Jiraiya:
You wanna teach the world pain in order to make it grow up?! Is that it?! Do you really believe that this is your mission?!
Pain:
I do. I believe in this fully, because I am a pacifist god.
Jiraiya:
Well I see, you’ve developed a sense of humor. Nagato.
Pain:
Oh I’m not joking. Far from it. My vision's too important.
[Pain escaped]
Pain:
I’m over here, sensei.
Jiraiya:
So that’s your summoning then, is it?
Pain:
To me, you’re like a single-celled organism that hasn’t evolved at all.
Jiraiya:
HAHAHAHAHA! Summoning Jutsu!!
[Jiraiya summons Gamaken]
Jiraiya:
To imagine a kid treating me like a kid! Well, I have news for you, kid! I’m not really human anymore either! These tears of blood overflowing with rage! I went from San-Nin to Sage, the Hermit Sage of Mount Myoboku! I am master Jiraiya… Aaaaagh!
Pain:
You haven’t matured at all, sensei… You’re just as clumsy as ever.
Jiraiya:
Come on! Watch it, Mr. Gamaken! Don’t jostle me during such a crucial juncture!
Gamaken:
I’m sorry. I’m quite ungraceful…
<Preview>
Jiraiya:
Hagh! I really have to hand it to my former student! He knows my moves all too well! I don’t know what happened in the past. But now he's powerful enough to head up the Akatsuki! Plus, he wields the legendary Rinnegan! Against this foe, there shall be no playing by ear! I'll have to go full strength with my Sage Mode from the get-go! Next time, "Honored Sage Mode!" Look forward to see me in all of my awesome action, then! Because I know you are... Agh!
You wanna end up like this too? Talk! Or you’ll end up living on dragonflies and beetles for the rest of your miserable life.
Ryusui:
Fine! Turn me into a frog then! I’m not gonna say anything else to you! I may be low-ranking, but I still have my pride! I’m a Ninja! I have nothing to say to an outsider who has no idea what goes on in our nation!
