I just found this and I think that I'm going have to say that whether this is real or not is undetermined. I am 70% sure it is in the next chapter though. So I started this thread. If I'm wrong then I give you my apologies and the duty to call me out.

All I have left to say is Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy your families and the turkeyness.
Hmmm, would there be panel lines for a full two-page picture? This may be fake, but if it isn't, I'm guessing this is the last page of the chapter.
Which means the action will definitely pick up in 380.
Edit: 380, not 280.
you mean 380 u think :-)...anyway if that indeed is a page from 379 then i guess we can say goodbye to jiraiya in the next chapter unless someone comes to the rescue although i don't see how anyone could help him now he already is stronger than anyone at this point except naruto in kuuybin mode and sasuke in second level cursed seal(that's my personal belief)
Naruto and Sasuke aren't stronger than Jiraiya, I would like to believe that they are but its not true not to mention how ironic it would be if the Toad sage, the man whose was supposed to teach the destined child was surpassed by a couple of teenagers. 4 tail Naruto may have more raw power but as we've seen that doesn't mean much and Sasuke is just not in the same league. You are right though at this point there is no one stronger than Jiraiya so there is no one who could save him, even if there was someone that doesn't mean they would be able to defeat Pein.
Looks like pein is going all out (if this pic is real that is) not looking to good for Jiraiya and i agree that there is no one that can really save him. its looking worse and worse for Jiraiya. Maybe he'll survive but thats not likly.
EDIT: my mistake. Sorry, dude.Quote:

Actually, I agree with this idea, but we have yet to see Naruto's full power with Kyuubi. If he can pull out four tails, it stands to reason that he can pull out all 9 - though it's effect on him might be overwhelming. We haven't yet seen Naruto in enough danger that this has become necessary. If he jumped into the fight, and was being destroyed by Pain, Naruto might be able to transform further, and might be more powerful (since we don't yet know the limit of the Kyuubi's power, we can't rule out the idea that he might be stronger). Anyway, I highly doubt Naruto would be able to learn Jiraiya's location and arrive there with enough time to save him, so the outcome remains the same.Quote:

Raw's out, the shit hits the fan
Translation
nooo...his arm.....
:(
I think we all knew he was going to lose but this is surprising. Guess they call him a God for a reason.
Does anyone else think that soul paralysis genjutsu is a bit farfetched? I mean its unbelievable and I want an equally implausible explanation of how exactly Pein escaped.
Shit... I can't believe I missed the fact of Jiraiya losing an arm earlier today when I saw the chapter...
Oh heck... unless he learns one handed seals, or already knows how too, there goes a lot of jutsu.... hmm... Rasengan seems to be the only think I think off...
wow major cliffhanger at the end of this chapter, i cant believe he lost his arm. hows he gonna finish this fight now? i guess this is the end for Jiraiya next chapter, unless somehow he manages to fight with one arm.
Man, now Jiraiya has lost his arm, it's still not the end of him, he can survive this with his own power. Defeating Pein at this point doesn't seem to feasible, but getting a good hit on him and escaping seems like a way to get past this, or am I just too trusting and saying this because I don't want Jiraiya to die?
There are many things that are unbelievable. Also, did Pein need to summon the other bodies or could they just arrive on their own when needed? Or it is possible that they weren't completely dead and he did some type of one handed seal maybe when lying on the ground with a sword through his chest, as he did say "argh". Not sure, just giving possible theories of how he got out of it.Quote:

Also The translation makes it seem like Jiraiya recognizes one of the bodies, so pretty much Kishimoto manages to confuse the fuck out of me once again.
Yeah, I think he recognized the body Pein was using when he was first introduced which resembles Yahiko. I don't know if Yahiko is Pein because that would require some marvelously imaginative explanation that being said I wouldn't put it beyond Kishimoto. That is a recurring thing in Naruto just when you think you know Kishi proves to you, you don't.
I think you just want Jiraiya to survive. I thought that all six being there was completely unnecessary as well but maybe Pein is going to do the typical villain thing and give a nice speech and spell out all his strengths and weaknesses etc before he kills Jiraiya. At this point absolutely anything is possible.Quote:

We saw all 6 bodies in several chapters back, they seemed to be resting in capsule type of things. Its possible that the other 3 bodies were behind the scenes in this fight, just watching and waiting to rescue the first 3 bodies if they got injured.
They better have a good explanation as to how the 3 bodies that just died can come back alive and kicking...it better not leave without an explanation like Hidan's body...
As someone pointed out earlier, all six bodies utilize in different areas of specialty, the ponytail one = summoning, fat one = elemental harnessing powers, so maybe all 6 pain is like 6 divisions of 1 pain, so each one is not complete in power/emotion with the others. hmm maybe if you kill all 3 of them at one time, they won't die, but if you kill all 6 altogether, they die? random theory I guess.
I think the other three showing up goes with the theory of a collective consciousness so they most likely were experiencing the battle as if they there. I don't think Jiraiya has any regeneration powers although it could happen because everyone seems to be getting those recently but I don't think he does.
The explanation of how the three that were supposedly killed are unharmed is what I'm waiting for that interest me now more than any of Pein other abilities.
Wow, cliffhanger is an understatement. It's kind of lame how the three Peins who were apparently killed are still alive. February's theory about killing all six seems plausible. And about Jiraiya regenerating the arm, apparently frog tadpoles have the ability to regenerate limbs so maybe Kishi might work this in....but then again, maybe not if he's planning to kill Jiraiya. :(
