Jiraiya battles to defeat his former student Pain, who is now driven by his twisted ideals as an Akatsuki member.

Having lost his arm, Jiraiya is outmatched by the six Pains now appearing before him. Of the six, the one called Tendo is revealed to be Jiraiya's former student Yahiko. Jiraiya is still puzzled by the Rinnegan's true powers, but before he can gather his thoughts, he is forced back into battle.
