Naruto Shippuuden

• Where is Yahiko now?
• Is he dead?
• Could he be another mysterious Akatsuki?
• Is he dead already?
• Is he still in ally with Konan and Pein?
• Could he be the one Pein reports to other than Tobi?
• Is he still out trying to improve himself to out-perform Nagato and Konan?

Seems like another speculation of mine has been proven wrong. I guessed on my previous post that Konan and Pein were Yondaime’s teammates. I believe I had an educated guess though. But with the release of Manga chapter 372, it was revealed how Jiraiya met Konan and her teammates when they were just kids. And it proved that Pein, Konan and Nagato weren’t from Konoha. Now the persona of other two kids along with Yondaime are still unknown.

According to Manga, Konan, Nagato and Yuhiko are 3 ninja’s orphaned by one of Amegakure’s endless wars. They happened to meet the 3 sannins one day and it started from there. Starving, the 3 kids asked for food and Jiraiya offered pieces of bread to the kids. In return he got a flower origami made from the bread wrapper. Orochimaru thought of killing the kids but Jiraiya hesitated. Jiraiya took care of the kids and became their sensei.

One time while fishing, Nagato and Yuhiko had an encounter with an Iwagakure ninja who intended to rob on the kids but Nagato defeated him so quickly. Nagato’s eyes were shown and they were like those of Pein’s. Jiraiya noticed it as well and was shocked of what he saw. He seems to know a lot about those eyes.

This time I’m in no doubt. Pein was Nagato. Pein pertains to Jiraiya his sensei so it’s no doubt he’s one of the 3 kids. Unless Jiraiya encountered another Amegakure ninja apart from the three. Nagato doesn’t look like Pein but I think how he look doesn’t matter. Pein shapeshifts.

Now what triggered the kids to hate Jiraiya to that extent?

Pein and Konan are two of the Akatsuki members which we have waited to be revealed for long. At first they hide their names and we tried to uncover it. After we know Pein’s, we tried to learn about who he was before he became the Akatsuki Leader. So far we’ve know him a bit with Jiraiya’s investigation. Then Konan’s name was revealed later on. And so far, we got no information about this lady, yet. It just proves that they haven’t been revealed yet at all.

There’s a great chance that Naruto’s ‘transfiguration’ with the kyubii will happen once again. Jiraiya strongly believes that the Fourth Hokage purposely sealed it to his son Naruto, believing that Naruto will learn how to control and call it whenever he wants to. According to Jiraiya, Yondaime only sealed the light side of the demon and threw away the dark side. Evidently, it’s really for a good purpose.

But is Naruto prepared for this event? The first time we saw Naruto transmute with the kyubii was when he fought with Sasuke at the Valley of the End. Kyubii’s sensed Naruto’s ask for help and lent him his chakra. Naruto looked differently, showing fearful expressions on his face. He noticeably became stronger as well. He became faster and more accurate with his attacks.

The next I remember was when he fought with Orochimaru. Once again, he transmuted with the kyubii, with four tails out and he really transformed to an angry demon. He was totally out of control and did not know what he was doing. He also accidentally damaged Sakura that time. But it showed that possessing the kyubii requires extra mental strength, which Naruto lacks, to be able to control it. But definitely, he surprised all other ninjas around during the fight.

Now, if this happens again, possibly with five tails or more maybe, will Naruto be able to control it? Was he able to learn lessons from his previous transformation? Or will it turn out to be antoher Demon attack?

This is another theory that I sadly thought of one time. I based it from the last few chapters of the Manga and I believe that it might happen.

After Pein was announced as the Akatsuki Leader, Tsunade commanded Jiraiya to spy on the Rain Village and gather information about Pein. While he’s on his mission, Pein has awaken to hunt down the intruder which seems to be Jiraiya. This gave me hints that we will see Jiraiya fight for the first time. And this would probably be one of the greatest fights we’ll ever see in the series. However, if Jiraiya beats down Pein, there wouldn’t be too good of a story we’ll see. And this makes me sad to think that Pein could possibly kill Jiraiya, or paralyse him at least. When this happens, the story will be much better. There will be a good reason for Naruto to take revenge. Knowing Naruto’s will to give justice to little guys, he will definitely fight to his limit to kill Pein with his own hands.

Jiraiya has been a father to Naruto, much like he has been a father to Minato. It’s like they had same blood flowing on their veins and their chakras are similar as well. But it could be better if Jiraiya will stay alive in the series. It will give him time to witness more on Naruto and possibly see him grow as the Hokage of Konoha.

It is also possible somehow that there wouldn’t be any Jiraiya vs. Pein fight. Jiraiya can still escape from the Rein Village at this point and avoid to have an encounter with Pein. At least this will give him a chance to stay longer in the series.

According to several information that Jiraiya extracts from the rain ninjas, it seems that no one has seen Pein and nobody knows a lot about him. No one really knows what he looks like but the people believe that he exists and watches over them all the time. Well, some people from the village might not agree with this. It also seems that Pein has a personal speaker when he wants something to tell the village.

The ninja said that Pein was being hunted by the former remnants of the village of Amagakure. They took every little chances they got to kill Pein-sama. But of course they failed. Pein sama destroyed the village so easily by himself. The reason why Pein is called a legend. Pein also defeated Hanzou, a former leader of Amagakure. Very powerful. Salamander Hanzou is the one who named the three (Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru), as “The Three Legendary Sannins of Konoha”. As they were strong enough to survive the attack.

I was talking with a friend last week, he’s a Naruto fan as well. He has a theory that I think can very possibly happen along the way. Well, somewhere along the way, we already saw twists that we thought would never happen before.

This could be the most awaited name to be revealed so far in the series after Pein is revealed. Pein’s partner is named, Konan. S/he looks like a girl but I don’t have any proof of his/her gender yet. I’m quite sure she’s a girl though. With that rose pinned on her hair, it’s hard to imagine he’s gay. jk.
