Naruto Chapter 371: Old Friends

Summary: Naruto's clone is dispelled by Sasuke and Team Konoha gives chase with Naruto in the lead. Meanwhile, Jiraiya is discovered and Pain orders Konan to kill Jiraiya. Both Pain and Konan knew Jiraiya from the past. (Read 371 here)

So Mad Tobito sees Sasuke's potential as a hawk? So he goes from a snake to a sharp-eyed, aerial predator? Mmmm, is that what his abominable flesh-wings alluded to? Interesting that Itachi is associated with the crow. Two birds. I'd like to see where this analogy goes. (I'm tellin' ya, the Uchiha brothers are going to work, if not together, at least towards the same ends (see previous post))

Deidara!Pain. So cool. So nice of Kishimoto to identify Pain with piercings so we know who he is when he's using different bodies. Which brings me to...

OMG Pain and Konan know Jiraiya! Pain called him sensei. They...could be his old students!

Jiraiya doesn't know Pain by the name 'Pain.' (I thought I'd get that Pain guy) and most likely Pain is not walking around in his original body. So, if the kid with the dark hair pulled up is Konan, then it's possible that the third kid is Pain. Oh, they had a falling out! They could have been Yondy's teammates. Now they're after his kid and out to kill Jiraiya. This is so tragic!


Or...in some dramatic twist, they're actually after the Kyuubi to finish whatever Minato started! They're actually good! Yeah...not so much.

Jiraiya, again, so bad at stealth. You got found out in two seconds. Really now...
