Naruto Chapter 431

[iMUSTbeTHEdevil]

Well for starters we don't even know if the real Pain is with them. All Naruto might acomplish here is to defeat the bodies of Pein and have the "real" Pein awaken and be like, now I have to enter the battle, but he might be far away. Unless I missed something with that lead Pein form.

We actually do know that Pein is not really with them...

Isn't he controlling them somehow through the rinnen'gan from a remote place? And isn't the body Nagato (sp?) the dark haired kid with the original eyes? That's interesting actually. I mean how did he become a member of the akatsuki or even the guest leader for a while under madara in the first place? We all know the back story of each other ninja in the roster of the club, but not Nagato. What drove him "get away" from his village in the first place? Or did he just come from the rain village and stay there to become it's leader?

Whatever happen to Zetsu?

Whatever happen to Zetsu?

I am guessing that he is underground somewhere close. Probably watching the fight from a distance like he always does...

[Dansetsu]

He's probably just waiting for Pains or Madaras next orders in the HQ.

Okay, first he says that guy is Nagato and then he says he isn't. Which means that not only did he error in saying that, but pain someone managed to change his appearance or Jiraya was trying to extrapolate what Nagato would look like when he grew up and this "Pein" body was close enough looking.

So my original theory still stands, even if Naruto were to defeat these bodies, he will have accomplished really nothing. As the real Pein has not entered battle yet. There is much left to be done, but I will say, I'm hooked on the manga, that much is for sure.

What?

'Pein' is pretty much the bodies that Nagato is controlling from a distance. The "Pein" body that he confronted Tsundae with is his childhood friend Yahiko.

If Yahiko is controlling the bodies from a distance, why would setting off that bomb over Konoha lower his life expectancy?

Even though he may be controlling bodies from a distance to a certain extent he still running things, Pein did a Jutsu that took out half of konoha and the price he had to pay is his limiting his life span. They’re are certain Jutsu that has a recoil, like when the old lady (forget name) did a Jutsu to save Gaara life ultimately ending her life as the heavy price that she had to pay to perform the Jutsu.
