Not really Mashiro, if Jiraiya also creates clones he can still have a chance, although I think that if Naruto ever develops his cloning technique to a high level then even he could beat Pain on this battle situation.

I can see where the clones would be able to distract Pain enough so that Jiraya can land some blows. However, it's kind of hard to see Jiraya winning. I'm sure that Hermit mode was a HUGE ace up his sleve and Pain has a few tricks in his own hat.

Mashiro · « **Reply #77 on:** November 10, 2007, 03:49:45 AM »

I just feel like hes screwed because his like ultimate attacks were easily countered. I'm sure JIraiya has more tricks up his sleeves but it just doesn't look good at this point.

I can see what you guys are saying, I too think that Jiraiya doesn't have much of a chance.
But there's something about Pain's strategy that makes me think that it can be beatable just like the perfect defense from Neji, and Gaara. That's how I see Pain's strategy, for every situation he can use a variety of perfect defenses, first it was invisibility coupled with a summoned beast, now he has a 360 degree battlefield vision in combination with 2 human summonings.

I agree. It seems to me that if Jiraya were to engage all three individuals, then Pain's advantage is lost. His powers only work when one's fighting and the other two are watching. Seems like an obvious weakness.

nickmitch · « **Reply #80 on:** November 16, 2007, 11:24:46 AM »

So, this week was Jiraya's comeback. He seems to have Pain on the ropes, and with next week potentially ending the fight, can he still win?

Discuss.

nickmitch · « **Reply #81 on:** November 23, 2007, 04:37:11 PM »

Jiraya had Pain down for the count, but Pain came back with a vengeance. Jiraya is left in a tight situation, but can he survive? Can he win?

Discuss.

Mashiro · « **Reply #82 on:** November 24, 2007, 01:31:12 AM »

Well . . . I read the RAW and I thought "Damn Jiraiya is in trouble . . ." but having read the much better quality translation and seeing his arm got completely destroyed after that rebuttal attack from Pain, I now think "Damn Jiraiya really is gonna die".

A one armed Jiraiya against 6 "Pains" can't possible win. It's sad but like I originally felt this is going to be the hermits last stand. I just hope Tsunade comes to his aide, dies and then Kakashi becomes Hokage.

nickmitch · « **Reply #83 on:** November 24, 2007, 04:49:42 AM »

I don't know. I kind of feel like Kakashi still belongs in the field. I'd rater Tsunade stay as Hokage for a while, but I know that Jiraya's death will be very troubling to her. But, yeah, with Jiraya's arm gone, I don't think he'll make it. This issue did a good job of making you think that Jiraya won, if only for a brief moment.

Caliban · « **Reply #84 on:** November 25, 2007, 11:05:16 AM »

Damn you Jiraiya, don't lose to that Pain in the ass.

nickmitch · « **Reply #85 on:** November 25, 2007, 02:33:20 PM »

I see what you did there.

Athrun Zala · « **Reply #86 on:** November 25, 2007, 03:32:55 PM »

as awesome as Jiraiya is, I don't see him getting out of this one alive...

MysticGohan · « **Reply #87 on:** November 25, 2007, 04:17:46 PM »

Unless... He can go Ban Kai! or ask Zaraki Kenpachi for advice

yearrrggh what is this weeaboo thread

nickmitch · « **Reply #89 on:** November 30, 2007, 11:09:42 AM »

Show down time! Jiraya takes his last stand against "god;" Naruto and the Leaf ninja team confront Tobi (who might be a ghost); Suigetsu challenges Kisame and Sasuke finally faces off against Itatchi. The sh!t is finally starting to hit the fan, folks. What'll happen next week??

Discuss.

Caliban · « **Reply #90 on:** November 30, 2007, 03:38:51 PM »

Oh yeah, what an awesome cliffhanger chapter, sh!t is definitely going to hit the fan. Jiraiya dies, even though I don't want him to. Tobi reveals himself to Kakashi as Tobito or whatever his name is...lets call him the uchiha cyclops. Sasuke will win. Suigetsu wins. Pain is still annoying.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #91 on:** November 30, 2007, 06:38:21 PM »

I still get the feeling from Itachi that he's really not out for his brother's blood...In fact, I feel as if Itachi kept Sasuke alive so he could train and in the end be killed by him...A morbid family love would be the best way to describe it, I guess...

nickmitch · « **Reply #92 on:** November 30, 2007, 10:36:08 PM »

I get that same feeling. Itachi is too damn powerful. He knew that know one without the sharingan would be able to kill him, so he just made it somebody's one goal in life to kill him (aside from the whole rebuilding the clan thing).

Athrun Zala · « **Reply #93 on:** December 01, 2007, 07:15:16 AM »

So, Sasuke vs Itachi will finally happen... and it took Kishimoto only almost 400 chapters :/

anyways, I hope that the fight is interesting...

and looking forward to the Tobi vs Team Kakashi/Team Kurenai (hope Team Gai fights as well! XD)

Uh, what about Pain? He has the most powerful eyes, Itachi could have easily asked Pain to kill him if he was so inclined to be dead, it would have made Sasuke's life alot easier and we wouldn't have gone through with Sasuke whine about his brother...oh wait, then Sasuke would obviously want revenge because pain killed the one that he was supposed to kill, and then both Sasuke (sacrificed himself) and Pain die in combat and then there's no unnecessary Jiraiya death that we will surely witness.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #95 on:** December 01, 2007, 02:08:07 PM »

Well, perhaps you can think of it like this...Itachi killed off the Uchiha clan except for his brother...He hopes for his brother to grow strong (yes, this is the wrong way to go at this, but Itachi does not appear to be of sound mind in the first place) and kill him, thus creating Sasuke as a new strong sprout for a new Uchiha clan...Think of it as a means of artificial selection...And as I said, a morbid family love... =)

nickmitch · « **Reply #96 on:** December 01, 2007, 03:14:32 PM »

He probably hates Pain too, or maybe assumed he was strong than him because he didn't know that he had the rinnegan. But, if he hated Pain, then he could have figured that making Sasuke stronger than himself, Sasuki could kill Pain as well.

nickmitch · « **Reply #97 on:** December 07, 2007, 08:30:15 PM »

SO! A bit late this week, but that's ok! Well, not for Jiraya. He's been slashed in the throat. (Ouch) But! He's at least figured out what Pain's true identity is. So, what is it? Will Ma make it to Tsunade safely? And when will the Sasuke/Itachi fight happen???

Discuss.

Caliban · « **Reply #98 on:** December 08, 2007, 01:11:18 PM »

I bet pain can transfer his soul to other bodies, just like Orochimaru, but with the exception that Pain can also copy his own soul into different bodies.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #99 on:** December 08, 2007, 01:19:31 PM »

Seems almost like Pain conducts an attack on the psyche of his opponent (some sort of mental jutsu?) considering all of his forms are shinobi that Jiraiya has met in the past...
