Original subtitles

JIRAIYA: You want to end up like this, too?

Talk, or you'll end up living on dragonflies and beetles

for the rest of your miserable life.

-Fine, turn me into a frog, then!

I'm not going to say anything else to you!

I made be low-ranking, but I still have my pride.

I'm a ninja.

I have nothing to say to an outsider who

has no idea what goes on in our nation.

-Heh, still a ninja no matter how lowly.

Well, interrogation was never my forte, anyway.

OK, talk time is over.

But you're still going to stay put.

I'll just go ahead and ask this god of yours in person, then.

-What's the big idea?

I mean, what are you thinking summoning me here

right now, Jiraiya?

Is this about Naruto's key?

-No, it's not about training this time.

I have my reasons, but I'm thinking

of removing you from me for a bit.

-Thinking of removing me?

What in the world is going on?

-I'm just about to go into battle

with a very tough opponent.

-Uh-huh.

This guy must really be something

if you have to release me to go fight him.

-Don't worry.

It's just a precaution.

Anyway, I want to press the storage release seal now, so--

-Very well, then.

JIRAIYA: There

-So how long do you think it'll take?

When will you be coming back?

-I really doubt that it'll take all that long.

But if something should happen to me,

you just go and store yourself inside of Naruto.

-What?

Have you lost your mind?

You're well aware that the key that

corresponds to Naruto's eight sign seal

is transcribed on my belly.

Each and every year, the Fourth Hokage's seal grows weaker.

We keep the key in order to re-tighten the seal

if we should ever find the need.

To place a key right next to the lock it opens is unheard of.

-Yes.

And yet, don't forget that it was entrusted to us by Minato.

It was always meant to be returned to Naruto one day.

-But it's too soon.

Once already you sweet talked me into loosening the tetragram

seal, and you know just as well as I

do what happened that time.

You haven't forgotten, have you?

-No.

But I believe that Minato entrusting me

with his jutsu formula indicates that his will was for Naruto

to complete that jutsu for himself one day.

-That jutsu?

Are you serious?

-Yes.

-You really think that Naruto requires such a jutsu?

He would never be able to control the Nine-Tails's

chakra.

And besides, when that lock was loosened,

Naruto's own chakra was pushed aside

by the Nine-Tails's chakra, which

leaked out in large amounts and took over Naruto.

If the seal is undone any further

and the Nine-Tails completely overtakes Naruto,

that would really go against the Fourth Hokage's will.

-But Minato only used this seal on the Nine-Tails's Yin chakra.

He split the Nine-Tails's power into Yin and Yang

and sealed the Yang power inside of Naruto.

He left the Nine-Tails's chakra to Naruto on purpose.

-Perhaps.

But still--

-Why did Minato do that?

Why did he go so far as to seal that chakra inside his son?

-Who can tell?

Perhaps it was necessitated by the sealing.

Or it could be that as a father, he simply

wanted to pass on that power to his son.

-I was Minato's teacher, so I knew him very well.

And he never did anything at all without a very good reason.

Minato must have known something important.

And as a result, he entrusted the Nine-Tails's power

to Naruto because of the knowledge he had.

-I think you're reading too much into it.

-Do you really believe that's true?

The last time the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit

attacked the Hidden Leaf Village,

it was said to have been a natural disaster.

But lately, I've begun to suspect something else

happened, that its appearance was not a natural phenomenon.

I think there's more to it.

I believe it may very well have been manually summoned.

-Fool.

The Nine-Tails has always been a natural disaster

that appears when humanity becomes steeped in evil.

Besides, there's no one that's powerful enough.

No one can summon the likes of the Nine-Tails.

-Yes.

Well, that's just the thing.

There was one.

-What?

-And who's that?

-One of the Uchiha clan founders, Madara Uchiha.

-Ribbit, ribbit!

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

You fool.

Madara lived back in the early days of the Hidden Leaf.

No way he was still alive 15, 16 years ago.

-Yes, that's true.

And I also know, as everybody does,

that the First Hokage defeated Madara Uchiha in the Battle

at the Final Valley.

-Exactly.

Your theory is pointless.

-Perhaps.

But I just have this feeling that I can't shake.

And it fills me with unease.

-Return to the Hidden Leaf Village.

When you get there, go straight to see Ibiki.

He already knows you'll be coming.

I'm counting on you, now.

Well, then, I certainly hope this plan works.

Here we go.

[music playing]

PAIN: Well?

-It's Jiraiya.

PAIN: I see.

Jiraiya sensei, huh?

How nostalgic.

-What'll you do, Pain?

-Jiraiya isn't on our side of things, isn't that correct?

-Probably.

-Then I must kill him.

It's far too late for regrets.

I came forth in this body to kill the intruder,

and I'll do just that.

Now take me to him.

-All right, then.

Pain, I'll go ahead now and handle him by myself

until you arrive.

-Try to kill him if you can.

-Fire Style Flame Bomb!

[coughing]

-Toad Subjugation.

Art of the Manipulated Shadow, huh?

JIRAIYA: I dangled a lure in hopes

of drawing out this Pain fellow.

But I never imagined that I'd catch you.

You've honed your jutsu magnificently.

But even more, you've become quite a catch, Konan.

It was my understanding that all of you had died.

But I never would have guessed that you'd

turned into sheets of paper.

-It's really you.

You're the messenger, Lady Angel.

-First a god, now an angel.

Which means that you're the messenger

for this so-called god.

Is that right, Konan?

-This man is an intruder.

You should kill him now!

-Leave now and stay away.

-Yes, ma'am!

-So who is this Pain?

-It's really none of your business, sensei.

-And doing that helps you feel like an angel?

Does putting on an act like that really have any benefits?

-I've received my orders from god.

I will kill you.

-Cloud oil bomb!

You're soaked in oil so you can't peel apart.

You had such a love of origami, and you

were the kindest and gentlest of the three of you children

that I trained.

What happened to the others?

Nagato and Yahiko?

I heard you all died, but I guess that was a rumor.

Oh, I see.

So tell me, which of the other two

ended up becoming this Pain, then?

-Just what do you want appearing before us

after all these years?

-That wasn't my intention if you all

hadn't been part of the Akatsuki.

I heard that all of you had died.

I never imagined that it would come to something like this.

-Way back then, you should have done what Orochimaru suggested.

Isn't that what you're thinking now?

-These kids-- shall I kill them?

We've seen so many war orphans.

It's always so pitiful.

They'd be better off if we simply put them out

of their misery right now.

-Back then, you saved the three of us from that fate instead.

But it's too late now.

We've wholeheartedly embraced his ideology,

and we have now made our move.

-I have no regrets about letting the three of you live,

no matter how this may end.

I'm just very sad.

The reason I taught you ninjutsu was to enable all of you

to survive those harsh times.

You were all undoubtedly my students.

And I know the world is a cruel place,

but to attack me without even so much as a greeting-- well,

that's just too sad.

For a few years after our time together, I

heard your names mentioned here and there.

You made a reputation for yourselves,

fighting for hire in a few conflicts.

But then--

-You know nothing about what happened to us afterward,

sensei.

-No, I don't.

That's quite apparent.

But why all this stuff with the Akatsuki?

What the Akatsuki is doing now is simply wrong.

-This is what I've thought through on my own.

And that is that, Jiraiya sensei.

-Well, your appearance has changed quite a bit.

But those eyes,

JIRAIYA (VOICEOVER): That shape, that ripple pattern.

I can't believe it.

That eye.

The Rinnegan.

-So I guess you're the one who became Pain.

Nagato.

It appears you've strayed from the path of goodness.

What happened to you?

-You don't need to know.

After all, you are an outsider.

-You really have changed, Nagato.

-Summoning jutsu.

-Hmm?

JIRAIYA (VOICEOVER): Foam.

Leave it to my students to know my weakness.

He intends to nullify and wash away the oil.

-Kona, stay back.

-Art of the Raving Lion's Mane!

Nagato, it's time for me to ask you a few questions.

What happened to Yahiko?

-Ah, yes.

There was such a fellow once, wasn't there?

But he died a long time ago.

-Nagato, what happened?

-All I want to do is protect those two, no matter what kind

of pain I may be forced to endure.

-I understand.

What happened to you?

The old you would never--

-Nothing happened.

Nothing except for the war.

Too many people died in this land.

All that pain forced me to grow up.

-What does that mean?

-That even innocent, foolish children

will grow up in the face of pain until their thoughts

and beliefs are the same as adults.

-But abandoning one's love for his friends and fellow man?

Is that really what it means to become an adult?

-Oh, sensei.

You are still merely a man.

However, I, mired in endless pain,

have matured and become much more than a man.

-What are you saying?

-Yes.

I've grown from a man to a god.

And since I'm a god, all my words and thoughts

have become absolute.

Poor sensei, you're still only human.

It's not your fault if you don't understand what I'm saying.

-Have you really become that twisted?

-Things that I couldn't see when I was human are clear to me

now that I'm a god.

And being a god, I realize that there are things I can do which

moral men cannot even dream of.

Or to put it more simply, I have evolved beyond that.

-Just what exactly are you planning to do?

-At last, I'm going to put an end

to this senseless, war-riddled world.

This will be my sacred deed.

-If that's your goal, then why are you

gathering up all the tailed beasts?

-Well, you are about to die, anyway,

so I don't need to keep this secret from you any longer.

I will use the sealed tailed beasts

to develop new, forbidden jutsu, jutsu of such magnitude

that just one could destroy an entire nation.

They will be the most powerful, the ultimate forbidden

jutsu weapons.

-But how could creating such jutsu possibly

bring about an end to war?

Weapons such as those will simply

increase conflicts between nations.

PAIN: The world is already rife with conflict, so what's

the quickest way to get nations to stop

fighting each other, Jiraiya sensei?

JIRAIYA: That's what I'm asking you.

So answer me!

-To each one of the warring nations,

I will hand out a forbidden jutsu weapon.

For once they have them, once they possess such a power,

then they're bound to use it.

-Wait.

What are you saying?

-Just think.

Tens of millions of people will die instantly,

and all mankind will quake in terror.

All of humanity, all the nations will learn what pain truly is.

Fear would breed a strong aversion to war.

Conflicts would cease.

It can be said that this world is still

in the process of maturing, that it's still

on the path to stability.

Pain will make the world grow up,

just like it forced us to grow up.

In order for the world to develop to the point

where it can think and walk on its own,

it needs the help of a god's hand.

This world is still but a child, you see.

-You want to teach the world pain in order

to make it grow up?

Is that it?

Do you really believe that this is your mission?

-I do.

I believe in this fully because I am a pacifist god.

-Well, I see you've developed a sense of humor, Nagato.

-Oh, I'm not joking.

Far from it.

My vision is too important.

I'm over here, sensei.

-So that's your summoning then, is it?

-To me, you're like a single-celled organism

that hasn't evolved at all.

[laughter]

-Summoning jutsu!

Just imagine a kid treating me like a kid.

Well, I have news for you, kid.

I'm not really human anymore, either.

These tears of blood overflowing with rage--

I went from Sannin to Sage-- the Hermit Sage of Mount Myoboku!

I am master Jirai--

-You haven't matured at all, sensei.

You're just as clumsy as ever.

-Come on!

Watch it, Mister Gamaken!

Don't jostle me during such a crucial juncture!

[music playing]

-I'm sorry.

I'm quite ungraceful.

[music playing]

JIRAIYA (VOICEOVER): I really have

to hand it to my former student.

He knows my moves all too well.

I don't know what happened in the past,

but now he's powerful enough to head up the Akatsuki.

Plus, he wields the legendary Rinnegan.

Against this foe, there shall be no playing by ear.

I'll have to go full strength with my Sage Mode

from the get-go.

Next time-- Honored Sage Mode!

Look forward to seeing me in all of my awesome action

then because I know you are!
