Also as far as him reviving people. I just thought of the fact that we've seen him fully bring back destroyed bodies of his own. If he could use that reviving ability freely on regular humans, he COULD bring back all of the people that he's killed and it'd make sense.
Don't say it...DON'T SAY IT...DOOOOOOOOON....aww dammit he said it. Sense or not, these people really need to stay dead. For the sake of growing this manga up a little bit and keeping in character with what we were told this story would be about from the beginning.

I'm with the people who are still asking for an explanation of what the rinnegan does. I mean, it makes sense that we don't get an explicit account of it's abilities, seeing as the abilities of the other were mostly detailed by a teacher to a student (Kakashi/Itachi to Sasuke or Naruto) or from people's own thoughts back in a time when the rules of this world were still being laid out (kakashi, zabuza, rock lee, ten ten, that spider guy of the sound four, and Neji). Neither scenario is present with Pain. While I suppose it's commendable to take good educated guesses as to which of Pain's abilities are attributable to his Rinnegan...I still feel a bit shortchanged without knowing "for sure."

At this point, I guess I have to be OK with someone like Pain being won over by Naruto. That's the type character the writer's been trying to develop Naruto into after all. I just hope something not cheezy (*cough*fireemblem'spreviouspost*) cough is used to give this event some poignancy. I'm hoping the jutsu he's casting has something to do with the Bijuu he collected. Either release them, or entrust them to Naruto for safe keeping.
