Naruto Shippuuden

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?
