Naruto Shippuuden Episode 126

I'm just glad we won't have anymore arguments about the 4th being Naruto's father.

Looks like Jiraiya is going to die which is both sad and exciting. By that I mean you know it is going to be one hell of a fight if he goes down, I'm hoping it will be Pain.

Nah, what I think will happen is that he'll have an epic fight with Pain and win. Then, when he's either about to kill him or extract information from him, Madara appears and Jiraiya's dead before you know it. It's both awesome (because he's above Pain) and "F*CK!!" at the same time.

Since Madara is currently portrayed as the strongest, most badass villain to date, he'd be the perfect candidate for Naruto's revenge target, as well as the final trial to becoming the 6th Hokage.

The thought that the 4th wanted to harbour the most dangerous demon ever in his own infant son is quite strange
And thus branding him for life as the demon fox kid...

What's he going to do? Seal it in some random couple's newborn? He obviously saw the potential and danger for the Kyuubi to be used by Konoha, and it's not a risk nor responsibility any parent would want to give their kid before they even know how to walk. Being the Hokage, the most responsible only thing he could have done was to palm it off to his own kid. I don't know what he felt like when he did it, but I'd imagine he has high hopes for him.

I loved the Jiraiya/Tsunade interaction. The tears at the end just made it for me.

We have no idea how tough Pain is, though, so Jiraiya beating him wouldn't necessarily be that awesome. We have only heard nobody has beaten Pain before. That doesn't need to mean anything but that the man has chosen his opponents wisely in the past. Although never having lost is a weakness in itself.

Thus it would be more worthwhile if Pain slays Jiraiya and then comes after Naruto, because that would definitely put Naruto against a real, proven mofo as I doubt Jiraiya will go down without a fight.

Maybe we would get to see (and hear) again Naruto's wind rasengan that his pitifully envious peers and superiors don't want to see again due to its power.

I actually forgot all that stuff about Pain being undefeated. Now that you reminded me, Pain killing Jiraiya does sound more interesting, mainly because then Naruto becomes the one to take down the undefeated one.
